Are the hip flexors feeling tight? Can't quite get into an optimal squat position? Try this static kneeling hip flexor stretch so you can loosen them up and perform better and live with less pain!
Preparation:
1. Kneel with front and back legs bent at a 90- degree angle
2. Internally rotate back hip to target the psoas musculature or maintain a neutral position to target the rectus femoris
Movement:
3. Draw navel inward
4. Squeeze gluteal muscles of the side being stretched while rotating pelvis posteriorly
5. Slowly move body forward until a mild tension is achieved in the front of the hip being stretched
6. As a progression, raise arm, side bend to opposite side, and rotate posteriorly
7. Hold for 30 seconds
*Placing a foam pad underneath the knee may improve comfort, especially when stretching on a hard surface*
