Improved Hip Mobility: The "over under" stretch targets the hip joint and surrounding muscles, promoting increased hip mobility. Chiropractic patients often seek care for hip issues like hip joint misalignment or muscle imbalances. Enhanced hip mobility can alleviate discomfort and support the maintenance of chiropractic adjustments.

Relief of Low Back Pain: Tight hamstrings and hip muscles can contribute to low back pain. By performing this stretch regularly, patients may experience a reduction in tension in these areas, which can complement chiropractic adjustments aimed at relieving lower back pain.

Reduced Sciatic Nerve Compression: Sciatic nerve compression often occurs due to tight hip muscles. The "over under" stretch can help relieve this compression by promoting flexibility in the hamstrings and hip rotators. We  frequently address sciatic pain, and incorporating this stretch into a patient's routine can be a helpful preventive measure.

Prevention of Postural Issues: Poor posture can lead to a range of musculoskeletal problems. The "over under" stretch targets key muscles involved in maintaining proper posture, such as the piriformis, which, when tight, can contribute to an imbalance in the pelvic region.

Enhanced Recovery and Preventative Care: Incorporating the "over under" stretch into a chiropractic care plan can support the overall wellness of the patient. It can help in the recovery from injuries, improve flexibility, and reduce the risk of future musculoskeletal problems. This proactive approach aligns with the chiropractic philosophy of holistic well-being.

The "over under" hip and hamstring stretch can be a beneficial addition to chiropractic care. It addresses common musculoskeletal issues, promotes flexibility, and supports the goals of chiropractic adjustments. We recommend this stretch as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to help our  patients achieve better musculoskeletal health and overall well-being.
