By stretching other muscles in the body aside from those in the hips, you might find that your tight hips, lower back discomfort, and discomfort after a long day sitting down slowly slip away.
The primary cause of these issues, aside from tight hips? Tight glutes. “The glute muscles are an important part of pelvic support and link strongly to the hips," says Fatema Contractor, consultant osteopath and director at The Health Suite. "Keeping them strong and prioritising stretching is really important, especially if you are sedentary for long periods or enjoy exercises such as running."
