The 90/90 hip stretch positions both legs at 90-degree angles while seated, creating external rotation in the front hip and internal rotation in the rear hip. This position comprehensively addresses hip mobility in multiple planes, making it one of the most effective positions for improving hip function. The stretch reveals and addresses imbalances between sides while providing clear progression markers.

Beyond Movement uses the 90/90 position as both assessment and intervention for hip mobility. The position immediately reveals restrictions in rotation, allowing targeted work on limitations. We progress from passive holding to active movements within the position, including transitions between sides and lifting variations. This comprehensive approach creates lasting improvements in hip function rather than temporary flexibility.

Regular 90/90 practice transforms hip mobility and movement quality. Improved rotation reduces compensatory patterns that lead to back and knee pain, while enhanced hip function improves athletic performance. The position particularly benefits those with sedentary lifestyles, as it addresses the exact restrictions created by prolonged sitting. Martial artists and dancers appreciate the improved range of motion for their specific movements.
