How Efficient Is My Hip Mobility?

Your hips are the power center of your body. They support your posture, drive your walking and running, help you squat, bend, and lift, and play a huge role in protecting your lower back. When hip mobility is limited or imbalanced, it often shows up as stiffness, discomfort, poor movement patterns, or even pain in areas you wouldn’t immediately connect to your hips - like your knees or lower back. In today’s screen-heavy, sit-all-day lifestyle, hip joints tend to get tight and underused. Over time, this can reduce flexibility, weaken surrounding muscles, and limit how smoothly your body moves. The result? Everyday actions like climbing stairs, getting out of a chair, or exercising can start to feel harder than they should. This quick self-assessment is designed to help you understand the current state of your hip mobility, stability, and overall function. By answering honestly, you’ll gain insight into how well your hips support your daily movements and where they may need attention. There are no right or wrong answers - just awareness. Once you understand your baseline, you can take smarter steps toward improving movement, reducing strain, and keeping your hips strong, flexible, and ready for whatever your day demands.
