The oriented practice of somatic hip exercises can offer a holistic approach to emotional and physical healing after experiencing trauma. These exercises address the physical manifestations of trauma stored in our body’s most mobile joint - the hips. It is imperative to understand the vital role our hips play in our everyday emotional, physical, and mental health.
Connection: Your Hips and Emotional Well-Being
The hip joint is one of the chief areas where we store emotions and stress. This storage is primarily a response to trauma, whether physical or emotional. Unreleased trauma can manifest as chronic hip pain or elicit feelings of fear and insecurity. With an appreciation for the profound link between mental stress and physical ailments, somatic hip exercises have been designed to address this intertwined relationship.
