Every person I have seen that has complained about their hip popping out of socket has something in common with the others. They ALL lean forward when standing, walking, doing life.

This is the first thing I teach them: how to stand up straight. Usually I get behind them and coach them on how to stand straight.

And it's scary because they truly feel unstable and like they are going to fall backward. Learning to trust standing straight is challenging so here's a way you can begin to change your posture if you think you might be leaning forward and want to prevent hip out of socket.

NEXT: Take note about what is happening in your body. What does it feel like in the hips as you're standing? What does your back feel like? Where is it tight? Where does it feel unstable?

These questions will guide your next steps in building strength and stability.
