As a physical therapist who has spent years helping people of all ages and athletic abilities recover from injuries and chronic pains, I can tell you this: strength training isn't just about building muscle or looking good. Getting stronger is a powerful tool we have for creating a resilient, pain-free body that moves beautifully through life.

Your hips are central to nearly every movement you make. They help to stabilize your core, support your spine, and power your legs. They are the interface between the lower body and upper body. When they’re strong and mobile, you move with ease. When they’re not, you feel it, tightness, pain, or even injuries that ripple through your knees, back, neck or shoulders.

What if taking small movement breaks throughout your day might be just as effective as lengthy gym sessions?
