hip mobility
Pelvis movement range
Hip mobility is the range of motion available in the hip joint—how freely and fully the hips can move through flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral movements.
The term appears most often in fitness and physical therapy contexts: Poor hip mobility can cause lower back pain.
Improving hip mobility typically involves stretching and targeted exercises.
