If your hips feel tight all the time — not injured, not broken, just never fully at ease — this episode might feel uncomfortably familiar.In this session of Deep Tissue Talks, Doris Martel brings you inside a quiet, intimate treatment with an NBA player who comes in with a simple concern: “My hips are always tight.”Not painful. Not limiting. Just always there.Through slow, attentive manual work on the hip flexors and deep rotators, combined with breath and somatic inquiry, this episode explores what chronic hip tension can really mean — especially in bodies that never stop moving, planning, or carrying responsibility.You’ll hear how:Hip tightness can show up most strongly when the body finally stopsThe psoas and deep hip muscles often hold vigilance, not weaknessBreath changes reveal more than wordsGuilt around rest can live deep in the pelvisSoftening isn’t about losing edge — it’s about restoring trustThis episode isn’t about flexibility or performance metrics. It’s about learning how to power down — just enough — to feel safe again.If you’ve ever felt like your body doesn’t know how to rest… if stillness feels unfamiliar or even uncomfortable… this conversation may offer a mirror.As always, if you’re dealing with ongoing tension or pain, consider reaching out to a licensed massage therapist, physical therapist, or a mental health professional trained in somatic approaches. Support can make the difference.Check out our website: www.deeptissuetalks.com for more info
