Hip Flexibility exercises

What specific hip flexibility exercises do you guys work on to help your skiing?

Anyone had a personal trainer specifically for improving flexibility/hip flexibility?

For me Myofascial release has been the exercise/stretches that have given me the best results. And the best applications of Myofascial release have been from both a skilled Active Release Technique ART practitioner and a massage therapist, skilled in deep tissue massage. I also use a foam roller to do it myself, but it is not as effective, as I cannot achieve the same positions and pressure, but I can do it more often and when I want. I also had a cortisone injection in my hip socket last week, besides relieving the pain it also gave me noticeably more range of motion, which was a pleasant surprise.

Here are some links regarding myofascial release .

Get his book..it's amazing...

Mobility verses Flexability...a huge misunderstanding is made on this, even from PT's..

I guarantee that you will be able to find one of his "free" youtube videos that will be able to help you..
