Hip mobility

[JCalvin]

I have really limited hip external rotation and the right is notably worse than the left. It’s been this way as long as I can remember. I can squat and deadlift fine, but things like putting on my shoes or sitting on the floor is really difficult. I’m 38, no health problems, normal weight. Can I actually change my hip mobility with stretches to improve my capacity to do simple things like sit on the floor and put my shoes on without difficulty? I can squat to depth, no problem after a few creaky and stiff warm up sets.

You can likely improve your tolerance for these positions, yes. The approach of gradual exposure, just like training, would be similar.

Ok, thank you.
