The hip flexors …. How strong are yours? Often forgotten about these muscles do so much more than just hip flexion! The largest hip flexor is your Psoas muscle, the majority of which actually sits deep in your abdomen and attaches to the front of your spine. It has a crucial role in stabilising the lumbar spine and pelvis.

For people who do largely sedentary desk based or sitting dominant work such a driving, the hip flexors are often short and weak and this can contribute to many issues such as back pain, hip mobility issues and even knee problems.

Stretching alone will not be the answer, these muscles need some targeted strength exercises 💪🏻

Hi, I’m Sally and I’m a Physio because….. well, mostly because I wasn’t talented enough to be the athlete on the Physio table!

As a kid I was a huge Rugby Union fan (I still am and I’m basking in the glory of a wonderful win over the weekend!). In the early 90’s one of my favourite players suffered a knee injury that they said would end his career.

Some time later I watched a show on TV that covered Tim going through the rehab process after surgery … and after a lot of hard work get back to playing for Australia again.

And that was when I decided that was what I wanted to do! To help people get back to doing what they love…. Whether it’s sport or just living your best life.

I’ve now been Physio-ing for nearly 20 years, I still love it and I’m really grateful that I get to work in an industry that does so much to improve peoples lives and that is constantly striving to be better.

The hip adductors are the group of muscles on the inside of the thigh that bring the leg towards the centreline as well as helping with other hip movements like flexion, extension and rotation. The adductors also have an important role in stabilising the hip and pelvis, particularly in faster running speed and cutting/change of direction sports.

Most commonly we see injuries of this muscle group linked to field and change of direction sports but they remain an important muscle group in all running related activities. The adductors tend to get forgotten in traditional strength programs so try adding these exercises into your program

The hip abductors are important stabilisers of the pelvis and lumbar spine - particularly when we are standing on one leg. Located on the side of the hip the abductors consist of the gluteus medius, the deeper gluteus minimus and the TFL.

As well as moving the leg away from the centreline (hip abduction) this group of muscles also stops the opposite side of the pelvis dropping down as we land on one leg when walking or running and will help control the pelvis and lower limb when doing single leg squat or balance exercises.

Weakness in this muscle group is common in many back, hip pain and knee pain clients that present into the Physio clinic. You can do a simple test of this by standing in front of a mirror with the feet hip width apart. Lift one foot off the floor and if you notice that the pelvis/hip on the lifted leg drops down then the hip abductors on your standing leg probably need some strengthening.

Another more challenging test of hip abductors strength is whether you can keep the pelvis level as you do a single leg squat or hip bridge. Give these exercises a go… and as always if you are experiencing pain or issues check in with your Physio for a 1:1 assessment.

Hamstring strains and tears are one of the most common muscle strains that present into the Physio clinic. Unfortunately despite a lot of research into hamstrings, they still have the highest re-injury rate (up to 1/3 of all strains) across soft tissue injuries in most of the football codes.

Most hamstring strains occur due to fast acceleration or deceleration of the body when running at high speeds. In distance runners we see a much lower incidence of hamstring strains but a higher rate of hamstring tendionopathy. Both types of injury become more likely when the hamstrings are insufficiently loaded.

High speed running provides the highest hamstring forces and unfortunately gym based exercises cannot replicate the loads seen in sprinting so if you do a sport that requires fast acceleration, make sure you are getting some high speed running into your program regularly as strength exercises alone will not be enough.

The old adage “prevention is better than cure” definitely applies here. Specific Hamstring strength exercises should be part of a well balance program. These exercises can be performed at home with minimal equipment needed and provide a great base to start building your hamstring strength.
