Reduces stiffness.

We ask for primary area, starting level, goal, time per session, equipment, frequency, and progression speed because these progress mobility (e.g., hip flexor tests). These inputs improve ROM. Limitation: the tool provides self-tests and may not replace professional assessment; progress varies by consistency.

Self-Tests for Hip and Lower Body Mobility

1. Hip Flexor Test

• Method:
  1. Start in a lunge position with one foot forward and the other knee on the ground.
  2. Keep your torso upright and gently push your hips forward.
  3. Assess how far you can push your hips without discomfort.
• Benefits: This test evaluates hip flexor flexibility and can indicate tightness that may affect your overall mobility.

2. Deep Squat Test

• Method:
  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly pointed outward.
  2. Lower yourself into a squat position while keeping your heels on the ground.
  3. Hold the position for a few seconds and assess if your back remains straight and your knees do not cave inward.
• Benefits: This test measures lower body flexibility, balance, and overall hip mobility.

3. Leg Swings

• Method:
  1. Stand next to a wall or sturdy object for support.
  2. Swing one leg forward and backward while keeping your upper body stable.
  3. Assess your range of motion and any tightness in the hip area.
• Benefits: This test helps identify dynamic hip mobility and can highlight any limitations in your range of motion during movement.
