The “Guillotine” mobilization for the antero-medial hip capsule
September 26, 2013
Adding to the list of our Jiu Jitsu mobs, this technique is excellent for opening up the anterior and medial hip capsule.
For FR® and FRC™ practitioners, we can utilize PAILs work with this manoeuvre if we need to overcome neurological tightness. For indications, assess for closing angle pain.
Footage was taken at this past weekends Functional Range Release (FR)® Lower Limb certification in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Hi, would this work in reverse for the posterior lateral hip capsule, ie lieing prone, hip laterally rotated, push down with chest on knee and scoop up under the groin?
It can….the main idea is that the position/technique allows great mechanical advantage.
