Hip and lower back pain

Tight hips? If you have them they can lead to lower back pain and sometimes knee pain as well. Try some simply massage and Pilates tips to help get your pelvis back on track.  Make sure you are stretching the outside of your legs, also known as your IT band.  This band of connective tissue provides the hip and knee stability and becomes tight when ever it is overused.  This over use could be from working out a lot, or imbalances in your upper leg muscles that the IT band might be compensating for.  You can simply stretch it or use a foam roller to "roll" to out. Remember to also stretch your hip and leg muscles to help keep everything in balance and flexible after your workouts.
