How To Stretch Tight Hip Flexors [IMMEDIATE RELIEF!]
WHAT ARE HIP FLEXORS?
Your hip flexors are the group of muscles in the front of your hip that lift your leg infant of you. If you were standing and lifted one leg into the air in front of you (either with a bent knee or straight knee), the muscles you feel working on the front of your hip are your hip flexors.
There are primarily two muscles that perform this action:
1. Illiopsoas: originates up on your lower back, crosses your hip joint, and connects into your femur.
2. Rectus Femoris: (one of your quad muscles) originates on the front of your pelvis, crosses your hip AND knee joint, and connects into your tibia.
Because of this unique anatomical arrangement, we can bias stretching to both of these muscles depending on the stretch we perform. Both are vital to decreasing tension and pain.
WHY DO HIP FLEXORS GET TIGHT?
The most common culprit to hip flexor tightness is sitting for long periods of time. As humans, we’re actually not designed to sit… yet we are doing it more and more.
Sitting with your hips in a flexed position for hours on end over time leads to an adaptive shortening of the muscle. The shorter the muscle, the tighter it feels in it’s full “lengthened” position (i.e. standing).
This especially becomes a problem with the illiopsoas muscle because of it’s insertion on the lower back. If your tight hip flexor pulls on your lower back all day it can cause back pain and discomfort.
HOW TO TREAT HIP FLEXOR PAIN
It’s crucial that I mention that not all pain you experience in this area is “tightness” in your hip flexors. Your hip flexors may be weak or it may simply be the posture of your pelvis leading you to feel “tight” in your hip flexors.
The stretches in this video will help you feel better fast, but if you’re after long-term relief I encourage you to check out the other videos I have linked at the bottom of this description as well.
