More Details About This Video:
Your hip flexors are made up of many different muscles including the psoas, iliacus, rectus femoris, sartorius, tensor fasciae latae, adductors, and gracillis. The major hip flexor muscle is two muscles combined called the iliopsoas. These muscles work to move your upper thigh (femur) to your chest. When this muscle is injured, it can cause pain even with walking. Here are some stretches for your hip flexors.
First start in a kneeling position. Place the knee of the hip flexor you want to stretch on the ground, and take the opposite leg and bend it in front of you at a ninety-degree angle. You might want to place a pillow under your knee to protect it. You will be in a lunge position with the knee of your injured side on the ground. Now drive the knee of the uninjured side forward away from your body. Hold for 30 seconds, and do this 3 times.
Next, you will be on your stomach, or in prone. Bring your foot of the injured side towards your buttocks and grab your ankle. Gently pull your foot towards your buttocks and then lift your thigh off the ground pushing your leg up in the air. To help lift your hip, push your foot away into your hand. Hold for 30 seconds and do it 3 times.
Finally, lie down on your bed or a high surface. You will need good balance for this so you won’t fall off the bed. Slide to the side of the bed with the injured side hanging off the edge. Now bend the opposite knee towards your chest and hold onto it. Just relax your leg off the side and you should feel a stretch. Hold for 30 seconds and do it 3 times.

How to UNLOCK Your Tight Hip Flexors Today!
http://www.criticalbench.com/growth/psoas2
Do THESE 3 Exercises no matter where you are and get instant relief in your tight hips in 5 minutes! That may sound far fetched but I promise you it’s not. I sit for a living at a computer but I’m sure to do these 3 moves to give my hips and lower back some instant relief.
This bent over, partial fetal position that we find ourselves in most hours of the day is not ideal for our body’s design. We are meant to be vertical and moving around all day long OR horizontal at rest with some ‘occasional’ sitting…not 8+ hours per day!!!
Injury Specialist Rick Kaselj dropped by the CriticalBench Compound to show Head Strength Coach Chris Wilson some of the best and easiest movements to help UNLOCK his tight hips.
Let’s face it, the center of our body is not what it once was…. People stood more and walked around more hundreds and thousands of years ago. The center of our body used to be loose, strong and healthy. Life demanded it to be that way.
Now we cause our hips and lower back stress by sitting so much, not being active every day and forcing our hip flexors to be shortened which leads to TIGHTNESS and discomfort. And this sets off a chain reaction because the hip flexors and lower back area directly affect each other.
The more we engage our lower back and glute area, the more we stretch our hip flexors and we attain BALANCED strength from front to back. Do these 3 moves to regain some balance in your body.

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people see their doctor. Office workers are vulnerable to prolonged sitting, and thus one of the highest occupations to have complaints of spine discomfort and pain. A few simple exercises at your desk can help alleviate your pain.
Standing hip flexor stretch: This stretch is helpful to stretch the muscle group that becomes tight with prolonged sitting; these muscles have direct attachment to the front part of your spine and when this muscle group is tight, your back also can feel tight. This will assist in limbering up your spine and allowing you to stand taller and walk better.
If you’re in prolonged pain, you should consult your physician to discuss underlying problems or treatment concerns. Call the Comprehensive Spine Center at 614-293-2225 and learn more at http://go.osu.edu/CGS7.

Pain in the front of your hip can be a common condition. Most people think pain in this area is due to hip flexor tightness. While this is true in many instances, it’s not true ALL the time.
Many of us have tight hip flexors. This is often a result of spending so much time in positions with our hips bent (sitting, sleeping in a fetal position, etc). With our hip flexors in this position, over time they can undergo what we call an “adaptive shortening”.
This is where the muscles actually tighten up in this shortened position making movement very painful.
The recommended treatment for tight hip flexors is obviously stretching.
But what if the pain in your hip isn’t due to hip flexor tightness?
Believe it or not, some people can actually have weakness in their hip flexors that manifests itself as anterior hip pain.
If that’s the case, you absolutely don’t want to be stretching them! In fact – just the opposite. If your hip flexors are weak and if that’s what’s causing your anterior hip pain, then the recommended treatment would be strengthening them.
This is best done via specific exercises that are going to work the muscles in this area in the best way possible to help alleviate your pain and discomfort.
In this video, I demonstrate some simple tests that you can do at home to assess whether your hip flexors are tight or weak.
You can then follow along with 2-3 simple exercises and stretches based on your condition to see what exactly are the best exercises for your specific condition.
HOW TO CHECK FOR HIP FLEXOR TIGHTNESS (3:24)
Lay flat on your back on the edge of a table or counter (this can be done on your bed, but if it’s too soft the test won’t be as accurate).
Hug both knees to your chest.
Slowly lower one leg down towards the table.
The lowered leg should lay flat (or almost touch) the table. If not, this is an indication of hip flexor tightness and you need to stretch it out.
HOW TO CHECK FOR HIP FLEXOR WEAKNESS (4:56)
Put your foot up on a chair – your knee should be at the level of your hip.
Raise your foot off the chair and then lower it back down.
Repeat this ten times.
Repeat on the other side.
They should feel the same on both sides. If one side is weaker or if performing this test is difficult, that would be an indication that your hip flexor is weak and DOES NOT need to stretch but rather needs strengthening.
BEST HIP FLEXOR STRETCHES
The stretches demonstrated in this video are as follows:
PRONE HIP FLEXOR STRETCH (7:00)
SUPINE HIP FLEXOR STRETCH (8:51)
KNEELING HIP FLEXOR STRETCH (9:43)
BEST STRENGTH EXERCISES FOR HIP FLEXORS
If you have hip flexor weakness, these are the best exercises for you:
STRAIGHT LEG RAISES (11:51)
INVERTED “L” STRAIGHT LEG RAISES (12:32)
STANDING KNEE RAISES (13:17)
I hope those help you out of some of the pain or discomfort you might be experiencing in your anterior hip! If you did find some relief from this video, do me a favor and hit that “thumbs up” button!
