Using Yoga to Help Mommy Hip

Using Yoga to Help Mommy Hip

You know what it is: one hip pushed out to the side when standing, usually to hold a child. In the physical therapy world, it is "Hip Adduction Syndrome." Daddies can get it too, and so can non-parents, but women who are mothers are most susceptible. Over time, standing this way puts pressure on the hip and predisposes the lower back, knees, neck and shoulders to arthritis.
