What 3 Minutes Every Morning Does to YOUR Hips, Spine, and Grip | Richard Feynman Discover what really happens inside your hips, spine, and grip when you try one simple 3-minute morning routine. Backed by real physiology, this video breaks down spinal disc compression, why your psoas tightens from sitting, and why grip strength is studied as a biomarker of aging. Learn how a daily dead hang and hip flexor stretch counteracts hours of sitting, decompresses your spine, and builds functional grip strength. A science-based, practical morning mobility routine for better posture, hip mobility, spinal health, and long-term physical function — explained through real mechanisms, not hype.
