Shake Those Hips
Padel players rely heavily on their hips. Maintaining excellent muscle balance in your hips is essential.
You’re looking for individuals that are forceful, agile, and capable of igniting a room. The hips give stability, strength, and flexibility to both the upper and lower limbs.
Your joints will be subjected to additional stresses and frictions when your hips are out of alignment.
Injuries to your lower back, knees, shoulders, and ankles may be caused by misaligned hips, which can also lead to more significant problems in the future. Maintaining a strong, flexible, and well-positioned hip is vitally essential.

Padel players and other athletes may benefit from this straight-leg hip twist, which twists and relaxes the spine while squeezing and contracting muscles in the hips.
The hips and glutes should be strengthened routinely using a variety of squats and other hip-tightening exercises in addition to regular realignment. The sitting groin stretch, the supine stretch, the glute and cats-and-dogs exercise are all good options for stretching your hips. Deep hip muscles may be reached with piriformis myofascial release.
This is how you do straight-leg hip twist. Fairly easy right?
Many people have never heard of the straight-leg hip twist, although it is a very effective stretch for balancing and aligning the hips. Try this stretch if you’re not sure whether you have any issues. It’s a good sign if both parties agree that the situation is satisfactory. There may be a problem if one side of your hips is much tighter or less comfortable than the other.
Hip Alignment Instructions
- Lay on your back with your legs straight and your toes contracted.
- Spread your arms out in front of you at a 90-degree angle with your palms facing down.
- Keep both feet flexed at all times by placing the right heel on top of the left foot.
- Lift the right hip off the floor by contracting the quadriceps of both legs.
- Keep twisting until your right hip is pointing upwards.
- Maintain a calm upper body and a 180-degree head tilt.
- It’s acceptable if you can’t fully rotate your hips at this time; you’ll be able to one day.
- Hold the stretch for 30-60 seconds while breathing deeply and keeping your quadriceps and glutes clenched.
- Take a step back and extend the other foot.
