Why you'll love it

Wake up dormant glutes

Years of sitting train your glutes to shut off. HipStance forces these muscles to instantly wake up and stabilize your body.

Great for
Desk workers Lifters Runners

Corrects hip drop

Weak glutes let your hip drop with every step, straining your knees and back. HipStance trains the muscles that keep your pelvis level.

Great for
Runners Lifters Sports

Helps train neutral pelvic tilt

Tight hip flexors tip your pelvis forward and arch your lower back. HipStance stretches the front of your hip while your glutes pull it back to neutral.

Great for
Desk workers Lower back pain Posture

Stops your knees caving in

Weak glutes let your knee collapse inward when you step, squat or land. HipStance trains them to keep your knee tracking straight.

Great for
Runners Lifters Knee pain

Hip strength vs. hip stability

Traditional hip exercises

Builds strength

Traditional exercises lock your hips and move your legs. That makes the muscles stronger, but it doesn’t train stability.

The HipStance method

Builds strength + stability

HipStance locks your legs and makes your hips do the work. Every wobble trains the hips to stabilize, the way it has to when you walk, run, and lift.

Pick your problem. See how HipStance helps.

Tap where it bothers you to see the setup and the muscles it trains.

For Hip pain

Take the load off sore hips

Train your side and deep glutes so the small muscles around your hip can calm down.

Flat base first. Then rocker. Then 360° wobble as you get stronger. 

Customers said this balance board is "surprisingly effective" for hip mobility, strengthening, and pain relief. Many reported noticeable improvements within days, with benefits for rehab, tight hips from desk work, and chronic pain. The device offers "deep stretch" and balance training. Some found the band setup tricky and spinning function limited.

It's All in the HIPS!!!

I'm 61 Knocking on the 62 Yr Old Door Who Still Enjoys Being Athletic With an Aging Body --- I've Purchased the Ladderpod and Love It (see my review) But was Skeptical of the HipStance Balance Board.

I'm an Avid Walker & Short Distance/Sprinter (usually 100-400 yds) Runner --- After the First 20 minutes of Learning How to Train on It, I'm Hooked and a Believer --- I've Been Doing All Sorts of Foot and Leg Balance Exercises for Several Years But HipStance Board has Made Me a Believer in the Immediate Results & Benefits for My Balance and an Increased Freedom of Movement in Running.

I'm in Very Good Shape But MS Balance Issues Have Dogged Me Especially the Last 8 Years --- I Don't Have a Kinesiology Degree and Can't Explain the BioMechanics of Why This Training Works So Effectively & Efficiently (Reduced Training to 10 minutes) I Just Know It Works 💪

Versatile and challenging

Purchased to help with weak hips and glutes. There are many variations of different exercises. It is challenging and have not progressed so far past the first level.

Surprisingly effective

As I've aged, I've come to realize I have my hips are a constant issue. Since I've started working from home I've noticed my hips getting tighter. Saw the HipStance advertised and bought it on a whim. Now I keep it by my desk and randomly through the day I hop on it just to stretch things out. Already seeing a noticeable impact to the way I feel. Looking forward to diving into the app and learning more.

Hi Jack, thanks for sharing your experience! We’re so glad the HipStance is helping you feel more comfortable throughout the workday. Enjoy exploring the app—we hope you find even more ways to make it part of your routine!

Great Idea and Device

Great idea that includes balance and internal and external rotation! The device is sturdy and well designed. I feel less hip pain already!

Solid!

used for 5 minutes and hamstrings on fire the next day (in a good way) - as for external internal hip rotation, you can sub this for function for bands but the fact it's so easy to just hop on makes mobility homework more easily accessible.

Highly effective

My left hip and IT band have been locked up as a result of tight hip flexors from sitting at a desk all day, every day, at work. This has been impacting my running due to radiating pain. The HipStance board has provided me with significant relief from day 1 of use. For the first time in weeks I have slept through the night without pain after starting to use it, and I am able to move more easily.

When I saw this product for the first time, I

When I saw this product for the first time, I fell in love with it. I’m a hockey player with stiff hips and a physical therapist by trade. I had never strengthened my hip at that angle and I needed to try it. Getting my foot into the band is a little tricky for me and my patients at times but once you’re set up it feels amazing and unlike any exercise I’ve done before. Product wise, my only critique (not a deal breaker) is that me and my patients can’t get the device to spin well when we do resisted hip IR and ER on the first setting. I have a hard enough time balancing on it at level one let alone any of the rocker settings! I do love this product very much and am impressed with the invention. I would love to see a ball bearing create that spin I’m looking for, but I will be ordering another either way!

Hey Eric, glad you’re enjoying it. The spin is only meant to happen with the balance plate installed in 360 degree wobble mode. In the starter configuration the wobble peg in the base can sit slightly high and lift the knee pad a touch, so it feels like it wants to spin when there’s no weight on it. The guide and the app both show which configuration the rotation works in, worth a look next time you set up.

So far so good

I’ve done almost a full mobility program with my hipstance and like it so far. The exercises take me less than 10 minutes and the videos & explanations are excellent. There are lots of levels so you can find the right difficulty for your body. I am hoping that I will regain strength and mobility by using it consistently but it’s still early in the process!

Compact and easy to store

Compact and easy to store. The board allows a deeper stretch and easier stretch than doing hip stretches on the floor. The wobble aspects are difficult so I'm still working my way up to the, but they seem to be works. I feel a very deep stretch when I'm using it.

I had hip arthritis and will need a replacement in the future. I bought this in hopes of strengthening my hip and extending that timeframe. I've had it for about a week now and am already noticing improvements in my hip.

It doesn’t look like much but I love this device,

It doesn’t look like much but I love this device, I primarily use this to warm up before leg day and right before bed but it’s incredible how much better I feel after using the HipStance.

chronic hip pain significantly improved!

huge fan so far! i’ve had chronic hip pain for almost three years following femoral stress fracture. i also have a labral tear on the same hip. i’ve been consistent PT and strength but was looking to add something new. in the first few weeks, i’ve had significantly reduced pain with running and can definitely feel the difference in strength. the hipstance has also significantly improved my night pain, and im finally starting to sleep through the night again. excited to continue to progress with the guided workouts on the app!

HipStance helps people with hip dysplasia

I have hip dysplasia so having strong muscles in my hip region is extra critical for me. I've only used this a few times so far but have seen some great results so far. Recommend.

Questions? We got you.

  • How does HipStance work?

    HipStance is a balance trainer you kneel on. Balancing from your knees takes your feet and ankles out of the equation, so your hips do the stabilizing work. It targets your glutes, adductors, quads and hamstrings.

  • Will it hurt my knees?

    HipStance includes a padded knee rest designed specifically for kneeling. Some pressure is normal at first. If you feel sharp or lasting knee pain, stop, and don't continue until it's resolved.

  • How is this different from isolated hip exercises?

    Those exercises build hip strength, but you do them lying down or slowly, with no balance demand. In real life your hips have to catch and correct your body while you're upright and moving. HipStance trains that stability directly. Many people use it as the next step after traditional hip exercises.

  • Why not just use a balance ball or foam pad?

    Balance balls and foam pads are built for standing, so your ankles do most of the work. Kneeling on them means your knee sinks, and there's no way to ease in. HipStance is designed for kneeling. It gives you knee and shin support, progression from a flat, stable base up to 360° wobble, band work for your hamstrings, and free lifetime app guidance.

  • How often should I use it, and for how long?

    10-20 minutes a day, training both sides. The Sidekick app builds your sessions and tells you when to progress.

  • What should I feel?

    You should feel your glutes and the muscles around your hips working from your very first session. If you mostly feel it in your knee or lower back, reset your position using the setup guide or the app.

  • What's the band for?

    The included resistance band adds hamstring and posterior-chain work. Shin push-downs add quad loading. Together they let you train the whole hip, not just balance.

  • I've never used a balance trainer. Will it be too hard?

    No. You start on a flat, stable base with the most points of contact. Each setup scales Easy, Medium and Hard, so you only add challenge when you're ready.

  • What's included with the app?

    Every HipStance comes with free lifetime access to the Sidekick app. It includes guided programs, progression cues, and session tracking.

  • Can HipStance help with my hip condition?

    HipStance is a training tool. Many people use it as part of a hip strength and stability program. If you're managing a specific condition, talk to your healthcare provider about whether it's right for you

  • How much weight can it hold?

    Up to 136 kg (300 lb).

  • How big is it?

    [45.7 × 24.1 × 12.7 cm (18 × 9.5 × 5 in)]. It weighs [2.5 kg].
