Runners and Hip Mobility: Chiropractic Care in Macon

Hip mobility is the hidden engine of running performance. When hips get tight, runners compensate through the knees, ankles, and lower back — increasing injury risk and slowing times.

Why hip mobility matters

• A full hip stride reduces load on the IT band and knees
• Mobile hips improve push-off power and running economy
• Tight hips often show up as low back pain or shin splints

Common causes of tight runner hips

1. Sedentary workdays followed by hard training
2. Skipping dynamic warm-ups and cool-downs
3. Running the same routes without cross-training
4. Weak or inhibited glutes
