If you struggle with tight, cranky hips, you’re not alone. Whether it’s from a love of running, heavy squats, or sitting down for prolonged periods, tight hip flexors are a common complaint.
Tight hip flexors can cause noticeable pain and stiffness, and if you’re not using mobility and stretching exercises to relieve these muscles, you risk developing hip impingements and a whole host of other issues, including knee pain, sciatica (the inflammation of the nerve that runs through your hips), and Iliotibial band syndrome.
