Hip flexors are muscles that contribute to hip flexion which can sometimes become stiff or tight, causing issues like limited movement, poor posture or even discomfort.
Sitting for prolonged periods of time, like you might do at a desk job, can be a major contributor to hip flexors becoming stiff. Nevertheless, even athletes, in particular runners, can find they are susceptible to tight hip flexors.
In this video, Liam Coffey from Muscle Doctor demonstrates some techniques for hip flexor stretches.
Liam used theWarrior 2 Yoga Matavailable at Physique during the exercise to provide some cushioning whilst doing the stretches.
This video provides suggested guidance only, if you have an injury please seek professional medical advice.
