The Fundamental ’90-90’ (static patterns)
Fundamental squat & hip-mobility development
•
3m 26s
THE WHAT:
The ’90-90’ is essentially a common floor-seated position in which the bodyweight is shifted more unilaterally into one side of the hips, the shins forming a more-or-less square form at a 90-degrees angle.
When available, it serves as a fundamental ‘zero-point’ through which high transitional potential is offered both within its own level (seated) and those above & below it (kneeling/squat & floor-contact, respectively).

Active/passive QL +' 90-90' stretch
THE WHAT:
An explorative and potentially therapeutic stretching context combining breathing, loading, and tension-modulation. As the inhale couples with an 'active' stretch to tighten the structure, the exhale relaxes 'passively' into any deeper range of frontal spinal-flexion "allowed" by the ne... -
Cross-legged & active 'Pigeon-stretch'
THE WHAT & HOW:
These ‘Cross-legged’ and ‘Active pigeon-stretch' variations offer specific mobility-development contexts in which to explore loading of the hip in an externally-rotated position. A forward “hinge” and “folding” the upper-body as far as possible over the legs then serves to LOAD th... -
90-90 end-range iso routine
THE WHAT:
A unilateral routine focused on developing experience in the end-ranges of internal hip-rotation (IR). As well as an isometric contraction to enter & maintain active end-range IR, as the force of gravity is also working against the leg there is also a consistent intention for active COM...
