Your hips lock up and you blame age. You blame sitting. You blame your hormones.
But it is more complex that this: In the show I break all of this down so that you better understand what happens in your hip in midlife and what you can do to protect your movement health.
A locked up hip is not a muscle problem. It is a joint problem. And no amount of stretching will unlock a joint that has shut down.
In this episode Kim breaks down why hips lock up for women in their 50s and beyond.
You will learn what is really happening inside the joint.
You will learn why your hip flexors stay tight no matter how much you stretch them.
You will learn how sitting and stress and dropping estrogen and old injuries all stack up until one day your body says it cannot move for you anymore.
This is not about pain. It is about the quiet decline that starts in your 20s and shows up in your 50s. The Silent Shutdown Cycle.
The good news. You can catch it. You can change it. And it starts with knowing your number.
