Hip Flexor Stretch
A hip flexor stretch uses half-kneeling lunges and pelvic tilt to open the front hip after sitting or running. Hold twenty to forty seconds without aggressive bouncing.
A hip flexor stretch targets the front of the hip—often with a half-kneeling lunge, posterior pelvic tilt, and gentle glute squeeze—to counter sitting and running tightness. Hold twenty to forty seconds per side without bouncing; mild tension is enough.
Aggressive overstretching can irritate the joint.
Common questions
-
Why do hip flexors feel tight even after stretching?
Weak glutes and excess sitting load can recreate tension. Combine stretches with hip hinge strength and more standing time for lasting change.
