Joint Distraction is used often in a physical therapy setting, but it can easily be applied by individuals like you, at home, in the gym, or down at the track.
What is a Hip Distraction Exercise?
Well in short, it's actually referred to as a 'Joint Distraction' exercise. This is done through the use of a resistance band, foam roller or another object to create a ‘vector force’ that literally acts as a ‘wedge’ to separate the joint surfaces from one another. In this case the focus is on the hip joint.
This separation of the articulating surfaces will provide more ‘space’ for Synovial fluid to fill the joint, reduce the amount of friction and allows for much more fluid motion. In short, you use an object to wedge the joint open for more fluidity of movement and this results in improved function of a joint.
You need a relatively strong resistance band that fits your level of experience and mobility. If you are an experienced lifter, you will want to use a heavier (stronger) band. If you are a more agile athlete or smaller in frame, a lighter band is good for you.
And if you are completely new to joint distraction, start off slow and watch this video a few times to really listen in close to Coach Brian's verbal cues. If you are still unsure about this, find an experienced coach or trainer to teach you this technique in person.
Subtle changes in the placement of the band, as well as in the position of your body, can make a big difference. Don’t waste your time by doing it wrong or in a less than effective way.
It's important for you to know too that any band distracted hip mobilization like the ones Coach Brian shows you in this video is not going to be the end-all fix. You've got incorporate a routine stretching program, you've got to improve the quality of your movement & you've got to have a SOLID strength training program...
So to truly have good, long-lasting hip health you need to apply everything possible and do it consistently.

Coach Brian - you are my favorite online youtube fitness coach - by far. At an age where I thought I'd never see muscle gains again - suddenly getting bigger muscles by the day and losing belly fat and getting shredded .

Does this help with someone who had a total hip replacement/or walk with a limp?

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Hi, I'm 59 and I walk a lot as a security officer, my hips are stiff, I already work out my hips which feels great, but always looking for more ways to reduce the stiffness without medicine. I will try this with my bands. Thank you.

[@Criticalbench]

You're welcome. We hope this helps, Tammy!

This definately seems helpful. But do you have anything (free or paid; video, audio, or in writing) specifically addressing an actual Hip Impingement syndrome? Thx.

I ❤️ my hips. I’m 50 years old and walk 10 to 15 miles a day and my hips have never been better. :-)
