Snowboarder's Posture Fix
Fix the hip rotation asymmetry, ankle mechanics, and lower back loading that snowboarding creates.
Snowboarding locks the feet in a fixed rotational stance and demands hip rotation, dynamic balance, and repeated impact absorption from that fixed position. Regular or goofy, the body develops measurable rotational asymmetry over a career. Wrist impacts from falls, knee valgus from binding angles, and lower back compression from absorbing terrain all add up. This 20-video program addresses the structural patterns specific to riding.

How to follow this program
Do one session 4 days a week. Each session takes about 10 to 19 minutes. You never do every video in one session. Each phase is its own short routine, and Today's Plan shows exactly which exercises to do for the week you are in. Weeks 1-3: 5 exercises, about 10 minutes. Weeks 4-6: 8 exercises, about 19 minutes. 3 new exercises are added. The other video in this program is an optional extra. Add it on days you have more time. If an exercise causes sharp pain (not normal stretching discomfort), skip it and try again next week.
Program phases
Each phase is one short routine you repeat every session. When a new phase starts, some exercises swap out for new ones. Today's Plan always shows the right list for your week.

Optional extras
Not part of the daily routine. Add one on days you have more time: Pigeon Pose (Hip Opener).
Do any of these sound familiar?
- One hip noticeably tighter than the other
- Lower back tightness after full days on the mountain
- Knee pain from binding angle and valgus loading
- Wrist pain or instability from fall impacts
- Ankle tightness from binding restriction
- Hip flexor tightness from crouched riding position
Why this happens
The root causes behind snowboarder's posture fix.
- Fixed binding stance creating dominant hip rotation pattern in one direction
- Crouched riding position sustained over long runs compressing the lumbar spine
- Binding-restricted ankle reducing natural dorsiflexion and shifting load to the knee
- Impact absorption from terrain loading the spine asymmetrically based on stance
Why this works
The fixed binding stance that makes snowboarding possible also makes it one of the most asymmetrical sports for the hips. Every turn demands hip rotation from a locked foot position, and over seasons, one direction becomes dominant. This program restores bilateral hip rotation and builds the ankle and knee stability that makes riding safer and more fluid.

I ride regular/goofy. Does my stance matter?
Yes, your stance determines which direction dominates. The program addresses dominant-side hip imbalance directly regardless of whether you ride regular or goofy.
My knees hurt when I ride. Is that a posture issue?
Knee valgus loading from binding angles is a hip control problem. When the glutes aren't strong enough to control the knee position, the knee caves. The glute and hip work directly addresses this.
When should I do this during a ski trip?
In the lodge after the last run of the day. Your body is warm, you have downtime, and 15 minutes of recovery work dramatically reduces how sore you are the next morning.
I ski and snowboard. Is this program different from the skiing one?
The stance mechanics are completely different. The snowboarding program focuses on fixed-stance hip rotation; skiing addresses parallel bilateral patterns. Both are valuable for someone who does both.
