Getting into the 90-90 position is very important as it is a great way to work on hip mobility necessary for general mobility and getting into certain guard positions in BJJ.
I discovered that using a wall can be both a great way to isolate the hips and limit compensation. Using these techniques as part of a cool down or accessory mobility work is crucial in providing the necessary hip motion thats needed in guard retention in BJJ.
Also, the more mobility in the hips, the better the positioning of the legs and the less stress on the knees. Better hip position equals less stress and injury to the knees.
Give this a try while performing all of the movements to comfort.
Holding 5-10 seconds per movement into external and internal hip rotations at 5 repetitions and then alternating positions and performing the other side. 2-3 sets total.
