The physical therapists at E3 Rehab are my favorites when it comes to fortifying your body using the best mobility exercises. If your goal is to unlock tight hips and build a stronger lower body while boosting flexibility, these are the moves for you.

Strengthening your hip flexor muscles and improving your range of motion helps protect your lower back, which translates to better performance when you exercise, especially as you get older.
