Pamela Reif Instagram – New Videooo 📺 5min Hip Leg Mobility – Stretching and Emotional Stress Relief 😰👀 Yes, because the hips are called the „stress storage center“ 💡🥸 Means releasing tension in the hips will maybe release a lot of emotional baggage as well! 🎒♥️
Those exercises are amazing (or necessary) if you’re squatting, hip thrusting or running a lot 🏃🏼♀️🏋️♀️ They also prevent lower back, knee ankle pain, because tight hip flexors are a common cause of lower back pain!
🎒 More info on the „mental & emotional“ part:
▸ When you’re stressed, your body activates the „fight-or-flight“ response, causing muscles like the hip flexors to tighten as part of a protective mechanism.
▸ Some theories, particularly in yoga and somatic therapies, say that the body stores emotions in certain areas. The hips are associated with unresolved emotions like fear, sadness or trauma, making them the storage for emotional baggage ♥️ | Posted on 04/Jan/2025 22:33:06
