In "The importance of controlled hip mobility", by Micheal Davis, discusses the issues of hip mobility. The one thing that caught my attention the most was the fact he mentioned that our spine gradually becomes deformed as we sit for prolonged periods of time. Lower back pain is so prevalent these days due to many office jobs a majority of the population has. Sitting all causes ligaments and muscles to shorten which leads to a decreased hip mobility. This lack of flexibility causes an anterior tilt at the pelvis and puts more stress on the lower back. Hip mobility is an important trait to have for any individual to avoid disabilities in the long run of their lives.
