Unlocking Your Hips & Unlocking A More Flexible + Healthier You

It’s no secret that we’re sitting more than ever. Whether it’s at a desk all-day or binging the latest season on Netflix, we’re all not moving as much as we should be. It makes sense, but your hips are at the center of everything and the core of your body. When you sit, your hips are tight and can lead to weakness in some muscles and tightness in others. 

 

We sat down with Austin Martinez to talk about unlocking your hips, stretching, and all things in between so that you can live a more flexible and healthy you! Austin joined the StretchLab Corporate team in January 2019 as the Director of Education. He is a Certified Athletic Trainer with both his Bachelors and Masters Degree in Athletic Training, and he has a ton of certifications under his belt that might just make him the stretching master.
