Hip pain during heavy pack out.

[grfox92]

Kelly Starrett is a great resource online. I know from experience that tight hips can cause all kinds of problems because your body naturally compensates for the disruption and you cannot avoid it because the hips are so fundamental to movement. I would start with Starrett's hip capsule stretches and then start working through all his material until you can identify what in particular needs attention. If you are really tight, this will involve many hours of soft tissue work with either a massage therapist or DIY with a lacrosse ball, stretching certain muscles, and strengthening other muscles. It will have to become a daily practice but you get more efficient over time and correcting the problems becomes much easier.

Thanks for the post. I'll check him out.

I get this pain as a tower climber climbing with gear, tools, and a rope. Only on my right side. It's so bad I have to stop climbing and stretch while sitting in my harness.

I've got no advice for you other then I feel your pain.
