Mobility-Rotation-Speed Real speed doesn’t start with power—it starts with space. Rotational freedom between your upper and lower body is the foundation of every athletic movement. Without it, your body can’t create the torque, horizontal projection, or rhythm.
The Hidden Key to Speed: Hip Rotation Elite performers all share one essential pattern: a seamless cycle of hip external and internal rotation. This is the system your body uses to rotate, use joints like levers that propel you horizontally on the field or pavement.
What’s Holding You Back Over years of running, training, and repeating the same movement patterns, your rotational space shrinks. When the hips stop rotating, the body compensates—stealing movement from the lower back, knees, or ankles.
Compensation Cost You Speed And Cause Chronic Pain Compensation diminishes genuine rotation and creates chronic tightness and pain that never fully goes away.
