Hips First
Have you had enough? Is the pain getting old?
Your body is a bioelectric machine. The brain sends the current, the nerves carry it, the muscles do the work. Hips First is the operating manual - a practical, no-nonsense guide to better posture, cleaner movement, and a pain-free daily life, one small rep at a time.
Written by Matthew Cascioli, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with 30 years of clinical experience, this quick guide distills a career of movement expertise into 28 simple modules you can practice anywhere - at home while the water boils, at work between calls, in line at the coffee shop. No gym. No equipment to buy. No coach standing over you.
Inside you will learn:
- The five foundational principles: Be Tall, Hips First, Shoulders Set, Abs Tight, Squeeze the Butt
- A head-to-toe body scan to expose the weak links in your chain
- The compound patterns that rule daily life - squat, deadlift, lunge, push, pull, and gait
- Mobility drills for hips, shoulders, ankles, and toes that take minutes a day
- Springy, joint-saving plyometric progressions - static, semi, and full
- Breathing rhythms that keep the body organized under any movement
The philosophy is simple: small, clean movement done often beats big, sloppy movement done rarely - or not at all. Learn to move from the hips first, keep your frame tall and tight, and force travels cleanly through the body instead of leaking into the joints that pay the price.
Keep it simple. Move well. Live well.
