The Hinge

This is one of my favourite @BIRTHFIT #functionalprogressions It is one of the best re-introductions to hinging/deadlifting postpartum or after an injury.

It increases core stability which leads directly to pelvic stability. It also is a less threatening introduction to a primary movement pattern that a lot of people believe has caused their injury. Many people are told to squat after a hinge injury and then never retrain the hinge - which in life we are required to do a lot. It's also great for scapular/shoulder stability after a shoulder injury.

This is not a side plank. It is a modified version that requires us to move from hip flexion to extension.
