Squat University
A banded joint mobilization can be a great way to improve hip mobility, especially for someone dealing with a hip impingement.
.
Get a ton of pressure on the band as you assume a kneeling lunge, with the hip you want to work on in the forward position.
.
Once in the lunge, take your hand and pull your forward knee across your body and back to the start position. This movement (along with the pull from the band) will help stretch the lateral and posterior fibers that surround the hip. If the band is pulling hard enough, the inward knee movement should not bring out any pinch-like pain in the front of the hip but instead a possible light stretch to the side of the hip.
.
As with every mobility exercise, make sure to test your squat, and retest directly after to see if this exercise was efficient and effective at addressing the needs of your body!
