Stretches for Tight Hip Flexors
Tight hip flexors can cause anterior pelvic tilt and lower back pain. Use the Pelvic Clock® to gently stretch and release hip flexor muscles for better posture and mobility.
STRETCHES FOR HIP FLEXORS
Hip flexor tightness is common in people who sit for long hours, repeatedly perform hip-flexion movements—such as cycling—or have weak core muscles.
The main hip flexors—iliopsoas (iliacus, psoas major, and psoas minor)—can shorten over time, leading to stiffness, pelvic misalignment, and pain in the hips and lower back.
Why Hip Flexor Stretching Matters
Tight psoas muscles on both sides can lead to an Anterior Pelvic Tilt.
When one side is tighter than the other, it can cause a Twisted or Rotated Pelvis.
Other effects of tight hip flexors include limited hip mobility, poor posture, shuffling gait, shortened stride, and tension or pain in the lower back.
Stretching hip flexors regularly helps keep the pelvis and spine in a healthy, neutral position.
The Risk of Overstretching Hip Flexors
Iliopsoas (iliacus, psoas major, and psoas minor)
Aggressive dynamic stretches—such as leg swings, hip circles, butt kicks, or lunges with a twist—can irritate hip flexor muscles and tendons, leading to inflammation, groin strain, or iliopsoas tendinitis.
Athletes, dancers, and fitness enthusiasts who stretch forcefully or without proper control are especially at risk of overuse injuries.
