@dr.courtneyhibben: STOP STRETCHING YOUR HIP FLEXORS LIKE THIS // DO THIS INSTEAD Most people think that simply stretching the hip flexors will fix tight hips or low back discomfort - but often, the problem isn’t just flexibility, it’s strength. DO THIS INSTEAD: 1. Hip Flexor Stretch: a controlled stretch that actually targets the right muscles without overextending the low back. 2. Hip Flexor Strength: activating and strengthening the hip flexors helps stabilize your pelvis and improves posture and movement efficiency. Weak or inactive hip flexors make your lower back overwork, leading to discomfort or even pain. Stretching alone often won’t fix it - combining mobility and strength is key. #HipFlexorStretch #HipFlexorStrength #MobilityMatters #FunctionalMovement #HipHealth
