hip

I learned so much about the importance of calf health.

um when i obviously injured my knee your calves are so important for that but also your calf is your second heart it pumps blood back to your heart huge fan of heart health over here and so we hit our calves which i often don't hit unless i'm forced to in a program and then we hit our hips uh the number one dm i get is hip pain hip pain hip and pelvic floor interesting Hip and pelvic floor.

A lot of women experience hip pain as a result of unaddressed pelvic floor issues, but also just hip pregnancy, right? Pregnancy, postpartum, your hips are going in and out.

There's this expansion that happens.

We're sitting at desks longer.

Our hip flexors are shortening.

Hip health and hip mobility.

So important.

decide on your goals

yeah so that that was kind of the thing that tied into what I just said there because I always I'm always umming and ahhing like do I want to get back into running or do I just want to focus on strength that's probably the one thing I do kind of um and ah about um and because if I say if I had no intention of getting back into running I wouldn't really spend time on isolated calf work a doctor work probably wouldn't even do like single leg hammy work I would just more so go in and do like Hip thrust, hack squat, leg press, Bulgarians, just like the big dog movements.

So now I like I do them.

But then I also think like, oh, should I do like should I split it into unilateral work? Like because we know that, you know, working individual sides is really good for running.

A Minute on the Lips, a Week on ...

A Weekend on the Hips? Or what is that?

[laughs] I think the book is just called Ooh, Child.

Oh, yeah.

But you still see people, um, on social media through their experience who say, "Squats didn't build my butt.

Hip thrusts built my butt." Now, my theory-

And vice versa

... yeah.

... you gotta be very careful.

Well, think about the most-

Hip thrust is really safe

... yeah, think about the most weight you've squatted, you know?

And we're-- us three here, we're all from Melbourne and, uh, you know, like I'm just reflecting on what's here.

We've got the, the Melbourne Shoulder Group, we've got the Melbourne Knee Group, we've got the-- I think there's the, the Hip and Groin Group as well.

Um, and they're just sports and musculoskeletal kind of clinical entities that are having a group of practitioners all with the same niche under that umbrella.

And I think it's, it's, it's now different because, you know, I think it used to be, like, really it was just the one person rather than the clinic.

You know, the, the other model that you didn't mention, neither of you mentioned, but it's probably relative to this, is the KIESER, KIESER setup too, with the treatment for low back pain.

I know that might be a bit different.

But I look upon those hip and shoulder and this hip and groin and the-- Sorry, Melbourne Shoulder, Hip and Groin, others, and so on, and I know the people that work with them.

The people that established those clinics were absolute, what I would call, gurus, significant leaders in that particular area of expertise, with lecturing and courses and the whole range of it.

Speaking of Mr.

Hip.

I saw the video of, uh, Tua.

I mean, everything's out.

Yeah, it might, it might've been an ankle or something.

I can't remember.

Hip, hamstring, it's, it's one of those lower bodies.

Yeah.
