@mariposa.physio.rehab: TFL (tensor fasciae latae) is a small muscle on the outside of your hip and has some big impact like: ✔️ Stabilizing your pelvis when you walk or run ✔️ Helping with hip flexion and abduction ✔️ Supporting movements like climbing stairs or getting up from a chair When your TFL gets tight, it can lead to hip stiffness, IT band irritation, or even knee discomfort. That’s why giving it a good stretch can make a huge difference for your hips and lower body. 👉 If you’re unsure where to start or have conditions that make stretching tricky, come see us!
