Hip & Mobility Training for Pain-Free Movement
Personal Training in Eindhoven – Aurora Personal Training
Stiffness in the hips, lower back or hamstrings is one of the most common causes of pain, reduced performance and frustration during training. Whether you sit a lot, train intensively, or are returning to exercise after a break: without proper mobility, strength training becomes inefficient and the risk of injury increases.
At Aurora Personal Training in Eindhoven, we see every day how powerful it is when mobility is addressed consistently and intelligently. Hip mobility is the foundation — not as a loose stretch, but as an integrated part of smart, goal-oriented movement.

What Is Mobility (and Why It’s More Than Stretching)?
Mobility is the ability to move actively and with control through a joint’s full range of motion. It’s not just about muscle length, but especially about:
-
control
-
stability
-
strength at end ranges
-
coordination between joints
Many people stretch regularly yet remain stiff or develop complaints. That’s because passive stretching without strength and control rarely transfers to sport or daily life.
👉 That’s why at Aurora we always combine mobility with strength.
Why Hip Mobility Is the Key to Pain-Free Movement
The hip is a central joint. It connects the upper and lower body and plays a role in nearly every movement:
-
walking and cycling
-
squats, deadlifts and lunges
-
running, jumping and rotating
-
posture and stability
When the hips don’t move well, the body compensates — often through the lower back or knees — leading to pain and overuse injuries.
Common Complaints Linked to Limited Hip Mobility
At Aurora Personal Training in Eindhoven we frequently see:
-
lower-back pain
-
knee pain during squats or running
-
limited squat depth
-
reduced strength and explosiveness
-
stiffness when standing up or after prolonged sitting
Mobility is therefore not a luxury — it’s a prerequisite for safe and effective training.
Mobility and Strength: Why They Belong Together
A common mistake is thinking you either train strength or mobility. In reality, they reinforce each other.
-
Mobility without strength → instability
-
Strength without mobility → compensation and injury
At Aurora we focus on active mobility:
-
controlled movement
-
building strength through large ranges of motion
-
learning to move better — not just lift heavier

How Often Should You Train Mobility?
This depends on your goals and load, but general guidelines are:
-
1–2 sessions per week of focused mobility work
-
daily short routines (5–10 min) if you sit a lot
-
always integrated into your warm-up before strength training
Consistency matters more than intensity.
