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 💪🏻
