Hip Issues - General Discussion Thread
in Health ·
I'm 26. Back when I was a baby, I had hip dysplasia and had to wear a brace. Now? Zero issues, zero pain, and you can't even tell by looking at how I walk. But here's the deal: I'm super active—aerobics three times a week and running outside all summer—and while I feel fine normally, whenever I try to stretch or do mobility work, my hips start screaming! It triggers this instant mental block where I'm too scared to even relax my legs because of the pain. So, am I allowed to push through stretching and flexibility stuff (like splits and all that...), or should I back off? Because honestly, I'm getting conflicting advice from everyone! 😕
