Hips can be a problem area for stiffness and pain, particularly if you spend a lot of time sitting. Several important muscles connect at your hips, including the adductors on the inner thigh, the hip flexors down the front of the thigh and the abductors in the outer thigh.
Stephanie Ridgway, a physical therapist, encourages her clients to work on strengthening these muscles in order to mitigate pain elsewhere in the body.
