There are several key factors that can contribute to poor hip function; weakness of the posterior muscles, tightness of the hip musculature, accumulation of wear and tear / onset of osteoarthritis, pre-existing injuries and anatomical abnormalities.
It should be noted that this article is intended for the average person (who IS NOT experiencing any hip pain) but would like to improve hip function, athletic performance and reduce the liklihood of future injury. Anyone who IS experiencing hip pain, or has a history of hip injuries should seek medical assessment.
