Just programmed an entire season of hockey mobility starting with ONE little 90/90 stretch. & Some of what I’ll be sharing with South Shore Mustangs this szn 🏒
Designed for the athletes who are constantly dealing with tight hips, cranky low backs, or feeling like their lower body is gassed 24/7 & the upper & lower body don’t seem to want to move in sync.
The good news is you don’t need to remember 47 different stretches, just a solid starting point and work you’ll actually remember.
Most skaters are pretty quad-dominant, which means other muscles can start picking up the slack for the smaller stabilizers and rotators around the hips.
So in this routine, we’re using the 90/90 as our starting point and building into:
🧬 Spiral fascial chain health ~ helping the body move through rotation and side-to-side patterns while creating dynamic length through multiple tissues rather than just parking yourself in a static stretch.
💪🏼 Hip flexor + glute med strength ~ because mobility is a lot more useful when you can actually CONTROL the range you’ve created.
♨️Core strength through movement ~ building stability while the hips move, instead of treating mobility and strength like two completely separate things.
You don’t need to become more flexible. I’d rather see healthy fascia tissue combined with strength, control + coordination at your end ranges so your mobility actually shows up when you skate. Your strides are hitting their end ranges ultimately making you skate up to your potential.
I programmed it so you don’t have to. 🏒
Save this for your next practice or send it to your athlete.
