E20 - The Power of Strength and Proper Alignment to Release Chronically Tight Muscles

In this episode, Alison discusses the importance of addressing muscle tightness not just through stretching or foam rolling, but by improving strength, stability, and position. She explains that tightness, such as in the hip flexors or calves, is often a result of poor body alignment and insufficient strength in certain muscles, like the hamstrings. Alison emphasizes that optimizing pelvic position and strengthening the hip flexors from a fully lengthened position can provide long-term relief, reducing the need for temporary measures like stretching. She also touches on the connection between breathing, core stability, and muscle tension, particularly in the psoas.Resources Mentioned:Exercises mentioned in this episode:All 4s Pelvic Tucks90-90 Pelvic TucksBridge with Hip Flexor PullsHip Flexor Sit UpFollow Along Between Episodes on Instagram and if you enjoyed this episode please give a share and tag me in your stories!
