Most people don’t actually have tight hip flexors.
They have weak ones. 💡
If something feels tight, our instinct is to stretch it.
But tension doesn’t automatically mean short.
A muscle can feel tight because it’s lengthened and undertrained.
Sometimes from overstretching it over and over. 🔁
When your body doesn’t feel strong in a position, it creates tension to protect it. 🛡️
So instead of chasing length… build strength through the range. 💪
Mobility that sticks comes from control.
Try strengthening your hip flexors for two weeks before stretching them and tell me what changes.
Movement should make sense.
