Use this SMR exercise AFTER the Quads Roll, the IT Band Roll, and the TFL Roll. This SMR exercise is to address deeper knots in a relatively small muscle across the front outside area of the hip. If you skip the first 2 SMR exercises for the muscles in the front and outside regions of your thigh, there is a strong likelihood of your hip discomfort coming right back. (Your center & outer quads greatly influence the load on this muscle.) If you have general tightness or discomfort in the front area of the outside of your hip, or the upper area of the outside of your thigh, then this exercise is likely to help. |
