🚨 Stop Endlessly Stretching your TIGHT Hip Flexors

If you sit at a desk or in a car all day, your hip flexors are stuck in a shortened position for hours. You might feel “tightness” and assume you need to stretch, but here is the biomechanical reality:

A muscle that is constantly shortened is actually neurologically weak. 🧠📉

When a muscle is stuck in a shortened range (like when sitting), it suffers from “active insufficiency.” It loses its ability to fire effectively. Your nervous system senses this instability and tightens the muscle up even more as a protective mechanism.

If you only stretch a weak muscle, you just create a longer weak muscle… until your body contracts it again to protect itself 🫠

💡 The Fix: You have to STRENGTHEN the hip flexors to convince your nervous system that it’s safe to let go of that tension.

Try this: Instead of just passive stretching, try active hip flexion drills (like the one in this reel).

Still dealing with nagging Low Back Pain or “locked” hips? It’s usually not just one muscle—it’s how your whole pelvis is moving. Reach out for an evaluation to see why you can’t get rid of your low back pain.

🙌 Do These 6 Daily Hip Mobility Drills to STOP 🛑 Low Back Pain
Living with chronic low back pain, you know stretching your back might offer temporary relief, but it often comes right back. Why?

The true cause is often a lack of hip mobility.

Your hips and low back are the ultimate team. Your lumbar spine (low back) is built for stability, while your hips are built for huge ranges of motion. When your hips are tight—from too much sitting or poor movement patterns—they get stiff and can’t move through their full range.

When your hips can’t move, your low back is forced to compensate.

The joints and tissues of your spine start moving excessively to pick up the slack, leading to strained muscles, stressed joints, and disk compression.

Restoring hip mobility is the key to taking that pressure off your lower back!

Today, we’re fixing the cause, not just the symptom!

Check out these 6 Hip Mobility Exercises (plus a bonus for my over-achievers) I’m demonstrating in the video to start freeing up your hips and giving your lower back the break it deserves.
