How to Bridge: Hip Strengthening Done Right!

Table of Contents

Bridges are a common exercise, but they’re often done incorrectly! The main function of a bridge is to strengthen your glute muscles, which are critical to walking, standing, working, and playing. Common mistakes I see when working with patients are the overuse of hamstring or back muscles, preventing the glutes from getting the activity they need to support the patient’s life and movement goals.

Do a favor for your body and follow along with Dr. Alex as he teaches you how to do a bridge correctly and with intention!

Hi, I’m Alex.
Physical Therapist
I’m a professional dancer turned physical therapist who understands how injury can disrupt how we work and play. I take a movement-focused approach and specialize in working with those who are motivated to achieve their best selves and strive to fully participate in life. I have had the opportunity to work with patients across the spectrum of care; from patients learning to walk after a stroke, patients returning to work after injury, to professional ballet dancers honing their techniques and restoring muscle imbalances. If you are someone who is driven to keep moving and not afraid to put in a little work, motivPT is right for you. I can’t wait to meet you.
