Hockey Player's Posture Fix

The hockey skating stride is one of the most demanding movements for the groin and hip flexor complex. The forward-leaning skating posture compresses the thoracic spine and cervical region. Hip abductor and adductor loading from skating creates chronic groin tightness that plagues players at every level. Shoulder and wrist loading from stick work adds upper body asymmetry. This 20-video program targets the specific structural demands of hockey, keeping players on the ice and off the injured reserve.

Hockey Player's Posture Fix
Watch 2 free videos below

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Groin tightness or recurring groin strains
  • Hip flexor soreness after skating
  • Lower back pain from the skating forward lean
  • Thoracic spine stiff and unable to rotate fully
  • Cervical compression from physical play and helmet weight
  • Wrist and forearm tightness from stick handling

Why this happens

The root causes behind hockey player's posture fix.

  • Skating stride repeatedly loading the adductors and hip abductors through extreme ranges
  • Forward skating posture training sustained hip flexion and thoracic kyphosis
  • Physical play compressing the cervical spine from behind-the-play contact
  • Dominant shooting side creating thoracic rotation asymmetry from stick work

Why this works

Groin strains are the most common hockey injury, and they're almost always preventable. They happen when the adductors are called upon to work in a range the hip hasn't been prepared for. This program builds that range. The skating posture that creates forward head and thoracic kyphosis is also directly addressed, improving edge control and upper body positioning.

Frequently asked questions

I keep pulling my groin. Will this help?

Recurring groin strains mean the adductors are being called upon for ranges the hip isn't structurally prepared for. This program builds that hip flexibility and stability, yes, directly.

I play both ice and roller hockey. Is the program relevant for both?

Yes, the skating mechanics and structural demands are essentially identical. Boot restriction, skating posture, and groin loading apply to both.

When should I do this during the season?

After games and practices as active recovery. The groin and hip flexor work when the body is warm is most effective.

I'm a goalie. Is this relevant to my position?

Goalies have the most extreme hip flexibility demands in hockey, the butterfly requires ranges most players don't train for. The hip external rotation and adductor work is especially critical for goalies.
