Your hip flexors are like the engine powering your body’s movements. These muscles are responsible for bending your hips and lifting your legs towards your torso. From walking to running, sitting to standing, even core stabilization – hip flexors are at the heart of it all!

🔍 In this enlightening test, Carrie Ann guides you through assessing your hip flexor strength. As you lift your legs and observe their movement, you gain insight into the health of these essential muscles.

🧘‍♀️ Seated against a wall for Sitting Floor with leg lifts, Carrie Ann demonstrates how maintaining proper hip flexor strength involves balanced muscle activation, core engagement, and optimal alignment. Through controlled leg lifts and lowering, you can not only evaluate but also enhance the function of your hip flexors.

💪 The significance of strong hip flexors extends beyond physical performance; they contribute to overall stability, posture, and day-to-day functionality. Strengthening these muscles can lead to improved gait, posture, and reduced risk of injury.

👶 Did you Crawl as a Child? 👶 Unlock the Power of Cross-Patterning and More!

💪🏼Crawling isn’t just a cute baby milestone – it’s a crucial step in building a strong foundation for your child’s development.

Here are 6 amazing benefits of crawling that contribute to physical and cognitive growth:
🔵Brain Development & Cross Patterning: Crawling stimulates both sides of the brain through cross-patterning movements, supporting neural connections and overall brain development.
🔵Upper Body and Core Strength: Crawling builds upper body strength, particularly in the shoulders and arms, while engaging core muscles for stability.
🔵Spinal Alignment and Hip/Pelvic Mobility: Crawling encourages proper spinal alignment and mobility, contributing to healthy posture development. It involves hip and pelvic movements that contribute to joint mobility and flexibility. This can positively influence gait patterns and overall lower body mechanics.
🔵Visual-Motor Coordination: Crawling enhances visual-motor coordination, crucial for skills like reading and writing.
🔵Balance and Weight Shift: Crawling helps develop balance, coordination, and weight shifting, setting the foundation for future complex movements like walking.

➡️Encouraging crawling in infants can provide these fundamental advantages for their physical and cognitive development.

🤔But guess what? It’s never too late to tap into these advantages for your kids or even yourself! 🌟 Reach out to us today and let’s transform your posture, function & movement! Let’s unleash the power of crawling together! 💪👣
