This stretch is designed to open up the lower back and upper glute muscles. If the pelvis is "pulled up" on one side, this stretch will help to balance that out

  • Assuming that your elevated hip is due to a muscular imbalance, I would aim for 3-4 times per day. Sometimes a hip that is elevated on one side could be due to a structural leg length inequality (bones actually being a different length) or even a spinal fusion, in which case this stretch won't do much to correct that.  Also, if you can heat up the low back/upper glute area prior to stretching, that will allow you to have a greater stretch. Good luck!

  • How many times per day should you do this to correct an elevated hip?
