Trainer Says 14 Days of 90/90 Exercise Eased Hip Pain and Improved Squats

Summary
A certified personal trainer said doing the 90/90 hip mobility exercise daily for 14 days loosened tight postpartum hips, making squats and lunges feel smoother and less painful.
By day 3, discomfort at the bottom of squats had started easing; by day 14, she said she could stay more upright, lunge deeper and use heavier weights.
Back pain tied to a degenerative disk issue also improved by day 7, while four runs during the challenge culminated in a pain-free knee and a finish about 10 seconds faster than usual.
Physical therapist Michael Wang said the exercise can help restore hip range of motion after prolonged sitting, but advised people with hip impingement, sciatica or prior hip surgery to seek expert guidance first.
