==========================

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.

Hip and Groin Pain – HIP FLEXOR TIGHTNESS!

Health No Comments »

Suffering from hip and groin pain?
Hip and groin pain is one of the most common problem we see in the clinic
If you are an officworker/ gamer that sits for a long time, a person who loves riding and/or a person who drives a lot.
Hip flexor will be tight because you are putting them in a shortened position all the time. Which can lead to hip and groin pain experience.
People that are more prone to hip flexor tightness:
People that have occupations that involve prolonged periods of sitting are prone to hip flexor tightness as the hips are in a sustained flexed position during sitting. People that engage in regular exercise such as running and cycling are also more prone to tight hip flexors. Sportspeople playing kicking sports such as soccer and football are also more likely to experience excessive flexor tightness as the kicking motion involves repetitive hip flexion movements.
The consequences of tight hip flexors:
Tight hip flexors can be a local source of pain around the hip joint which can be present during prolonged periods of sitting or during sporting activities that utilise the hip flexor muscles. Excessive tightness of the hip flexors can change lumbo-pelvic posture as it pulls the pelvis into an anteriorly tilted position. Increased anterior pelvic tilt increases the curve within the lumbar spine (lordosis) which in turn can cause the facet joint of the lumbar spine to be compressed more and tighten up surrounding back extensor muscles such as the erector spinae; this can lead to associated lower back pain.
Tight hip flexors and altered alignment of the pelvis can also lead to over-activity of the hip flexor muscles and altered neuromuscular activity of the gluteal and core muscles which can further be a source of hip pain.

[Performance Place website low back article excerpt] Hip flexor pain can wreak havoc on your love for running. Many of us run for weight loss or because it’s something we feel we “need to do” to be healthy. But not Julie. She simply loved the act of running!

A 10-minute marathon runner in her mid-40s, Julie would typically run five days per week. Some days she would run in track groups, rising to the challenge when her friends motivated her to get faster. Other times, she relished the solitude of solo runs.

Running was Julie’s “fix.” So when a cluster of symptoms started keeping her from doing what she loved, she knew she needed to take action. She came to Performance Place® Sports Care after seven months of unsuccessful attempts at treating the pain. I knew a detailed examination and proper guidance on how to decrease her symptoms would get her on the right track.

How It All Started
About 10 months ago, Julie began to notice hip flexor and sit bone pain when she ran. Since she didn’t do anything to create it, she thought it would go away on its own—just like most of her minor running-related issues had in the past.

But this time was different.

Soon, her hip flexor and sit bone were starting to ache at the very first step of her morning run, causing her pain for the entire duration. Her sit bone region would feel aggravated all day, especially exacerbated when she sat for long periods of time at work. The pain weighed on Julie’s mind. She wondered what she could do to make it go away.

When Julie couldn’t stand the aching any longer, she decided to take a break from running for a few days. Her hip flexor pain stopped, so she made the difficult decision of not running for two weeks.

Although it was painful to give up running, she hoped the pause would give the condition time to improve. And it did—until she hit the track again.

Just one minute into Julie’s first run in weeks, the pain surged back in full force. Frustrated, she decided to seek help.

What Didn’t Work
Julie started by exploring the typical healthcare route. But she quickly became irritated when her primary care doctor suggested rest and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications. She had already tried rest, to no avail, and she didn’t like the idea of medication. Her doctors thought she could have a labral tear in her hip, hip impingement or hip arthritis.

Unsatisfied, Julie searched for a better solution.

Her next stop was to see a physical therapist who was highly recommended by one of her friends. Physical therapy was covered by Julie’s insurance, minus deductible and copay, so she decided to give it a try.

Under her physical therapist’s guidance, Julie tried to remedy her problems with a daily 15-minute routine consisting of stretching, glute strengthening and hip mobility drills. As her inpatient care, she received tool-assisted soft tissue work. But despite two months of diligently following this plan, her sit bone was still tender while sitting at work. And she still hadn’t returned to running.

Frustrated by the lack of progress, Julie continued searching for a real solution.

Next, she visited a chiropractor suggested by a friend whose sciatica and hip pain had improved under his care. Julie received adjustments and soft tissue work two times per week, which was covered partially by her insurance. But after three months, she saw little improvement.

What is iliopsoas tendinopathy/bursitis?

Health No Comments »

What is iliopsoas tendinopathy/bursitis?

The iliopsoas tendon is an important tendon that sits in front of the hip joint. It is the attachment for two of the main hip flexor muscles (responsible for raising your knee during activities such as putting your socks on). This tendon can become injured with repetitive movements such as running and can also become painful after a total hip replacement. When a tendon becomes irritated the healing process is compromised resulting in a thickened tendon. This is known as a tendinopathy. Occasionally the iliopsoas tendon is not injured but instead a small fluid-filled sac (bursa) becomes inflamed. This is known as bursitis. A bursitis can be very painful and present with symptoms mirroring a tendinopathy, or can even occur simultaneously.

Iliopsoas tendinopathy and/or a bursitis responds well to an ultrasound guided steroid injection if your pain is not improving or getting worse. After the injection we would recommend a course of physiotherapy to prevent the pain from returning, restore full movement and strength in the hip and get you back to full function.

What are the symptoms of iliopsoas tendinopathy/bursitis?

The symptoms of Iliopsoas tendinopathy/bursitis are:

A deep aching pain felt in the front of your hip (in the crease of your hip).
A clicking or clunking sensation or sound when flexing your hip (lifting your knee up).
Sharp pain with sitting and standing, especially after prolonging sitting.
Pain with walking, running and sport especially involving kicking and jumping.
A feeling of hip weakness.

This video should not serve as a replacement for professional health or medical advice.
Always consult a health professional before starting a new exercise or fitness programme.
Please stop and consult a physiotherapist if these exercises cause you pain.
