Hip Health Workshop: Strong Hips, Smooth Movement & Pain-Free Living | Rehab 2 Perform

Your hips are the engine of your movement.

In this Perform For Life workshop, Dr. Josh Funk (Founder & CEO of Rehab 2 Perform) breaks down what it really means to have “healthy hips” – beyond just stretching or chasing flexibility.

You’ll learn how to understand hip pain, run simple at-home self-checks, modify workouts without losing momentum, and know exactly when it’s time to tag in a professional.

🧠 KEY IDEAS FROM DR. JOSH FUNK

Don’t chase flexibility alone – chase **access, control, and tolerance**.
Hip pain is often a signal to change how you move, not a verdict that something is “broken.”
If symptoms improve with warm-up or movement, the issue is often *modifiable*.
Smart modification (changing depth, load, volume, or speed) beats “just rest” for most people.
Seek help sooner, not later, when your symptoms don’t change or start to interfere with sleep, daily life, or confidence.

✅ SIMPLE HIP SELF-CHECKS YOU CAN TRY

These are not diagnostics – they’re starting points for awareness:

Supine knee-to-chest (left vs. right comparisons)
Table hip flexor flexibility
Straddle / adductor flexibility comparisons
90-90 hip internal and external rotation comparisons & progressions
Single-leg balance + reach variations
Isometric holds: single-leg plank, Copenhagen plank, single-leg bridge

If these bring up obvious asymmetries, pain that lingers, or confidence issues, it’s a sign to pay closer attention to your hips.
