Mobility makes a huge difference Canberra Running Coach, July 19, 2022February 8, 2024 When athlete’s hips are stiff and inflexible, muscle imbalance may occur and increase the risk of injury. Muscle imbalance in the hip often causes knee and hip pain, due to the hip flexors and quadriceps overworking in order to compensate for weaker muscles.

Group mobility sessions in FAST have shown that after proximately 6 weeks, the range of moment of the hip will improve significantly.
