SPECIALTY PROGRAMS / HIP FLEXIBILITY

Week 2 · Lateral Hip & Asymmetry

When the glute medius cannot stabilise, the adductor takes the lateral push — and that is how groins tear. This session makes the lateral hip do its own job, then hunts the side-to-side gap: differences over about 15% predict overload injury. Week 2 of 4 — build. The glute and Copenhagen work goes in. Earn the longer lever, never jump to it.

01Week 1 · Mobility Flow & Internal RotationThe reset session. Run the six mobility pieces as a flow, not as isolated stretches, then earn the range back with end-range lift-offs — passive range you cannot control is range you will not use on the ice. Week 1 of 4 — reset. Flow and adductor isometrics only, and the rule that governs the whole block: stiffness yes, pain no. Anything that bites, back off the range and flag it for a physio.02Week 1 · Adductor Strength & Groin ArmourThe adductor longus is the single most-strained tissue in hockey, and adductor-strength programmes have one of the strongest injury-reduction signals in sport. This is the non-negotiable session: isometric, then eccentric, then the Copenhagen lever. Week 1 of 4 — reset.

Run the six mobility pieces as a flow, not as isolated stretches, then earn the range back with end-range lift-offs — passive range you cannot control is range you will not use on the ice. Week 4 of 4 — hold the range you built and re-run the hip screener. Mobility moves first; asymmetry takes the full block to shift.10Week 4 · Adductor Strength & Groin ArmourThe adductor longus is the single most-strained tissue in hockey, and adductor-strength programmes have one of the strongest injury-reduction signals in sport.
