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

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.

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.

Follow-along stretching routine for tight hips and low back pain that you can do at home! Led by a physical therapist to improve mobility in your hips and alleviate tension in your back. Feel better in just 6 minutes as you follow along with me!

LINK TO JARED’S THICK EXERCISE MAT: https://amzn.to/3sXg86N

Your hips should be very mobile. In fact, they are the second-most mobile joint in your body (shoulder being number one). When we don’t move them regularly into their end-ranges of motion, they can become “tight” and limited in their movement.

Oftentimes this can result in pain and discomfort and leave one more susceptible to hip injury.

However in my professional experience the more-common effect from hip tightness is lower back pain. You see – when the hips aren’t moving the way that they should that lack of motion is compensated for in the lower back. The lower back should be a very stable structure and when it has to be more mobile for the hips, tightness, pain, and discomfort usually follow.

With that understanding – one of the best things that you can do to avoid lower back pain and hip tightness is to maintain your hip mobility through a variety of effective stretches. That’s exactly what I wanted to provide you with in this video!

These are 6 of the best exercises to increase your hip range of motion, decrease your lower back tightness, and help you to feel better. I’ll demonstrate the whole thing for you in follow-along format, so grab a spot on the floor and let’s get to work!

STRETCHING ROUTINE FOR TIGHT HIPS AND LOW BACK PAIN

1:30 SINGLE KNEE TO CHEST STRETCH
2:30 PIRIFORMIS STRETCH
3:30 HAMSTRING STRETCH
4:30 HIP ABDUCTOR STRETCH
5:30 HIP ADDUCTOR STRETCH
6:30 HIP FLEXOR STRETCH

I hope these exercises help you to alleviate tension and pain in your lower back and hips.

HIP FLEXOR TIGHTNESS

The role of the hip flexors:
The hip flexor muscles include the iliacus and psoas major. Together these muscles act to lift the thigh up closer to the abdomen, which is the movement known as hip flexion. Excessive tightness of the hip flexor muscles is more likely to occur in certain people. It can lead to biomechanical abnormalities and be a source of pain.

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.

What can we do to reduce hip flexor tightness?
Our experienced physiotherapists at Capital Physiotherapy can help to reduce hip flexor tightness and associated aches and pains through various treatment options which include:
– Massage and trigger point release
– Gluteal and core strengthening to improve lumbo-pelvic stability
– Neuromuscular training
– Stretches

What can you do to reduce hip flexor tightness?
To manage tight hip flexors stretch the hip flexors daily, try and stand up every 30-60 minutes to avoid sitting for prolonged periods.

Drop down into lunge position. Tilt pelvis backwards to activate glutes. Then lean forward at the hips, keeping the back in a neutral position. A stretch should be felt near the groin/front of the thigh. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat up to 4 times a day. Stretch at least once a day.
