Running is linear. Pilates is multi-dimensional. Together, they make the perfect pair. We see so many runners with 'gluteal amnesia'—where the hip flexors take over the work the glutes should be doing.
The 90/90 Stretch
Sit on the floor with one leg bent at 90 degrees in front and one behind. This tests both internal and external rotation. If this is painful, your stride length is likely compromised.
Strength > Stiffness
Often, "tightness" provides a sense of false stability. We don't just want to stretch; we want to build strength through the full range of motion. Our Power Align classes are designed to build exactly this kind of resilient mobility.
