If you sit a lot, your hips tighten, your QL overworks, and your hip flexors get glued down.
Here are 3 exercises I give almost every patient who sits all day:
1️⃣ Hip Rotator + QL + Hip Flexor Opener
A multi-direction stretch that opens the deep rotators, lengthens the QL, and gives space to the hip flexors.
2️⃣ Active Hip Flexor Strengthener
Lifting and rotating the leg fires the deep hip flexors and stabilizers that shut off from too much sitting.
3️⃣ Half-Frog Groin + Hip Flexor Release
Targets the deep adductors, groin, and the upper hip flexor region that gets locked from long hours in a chair.
These three movements improve rotation, release deep pelvic tension, and take pressure off your lower back.
If your hips feel stiff or “stuck,” do these daily — your hips will feel lighter and more mobile fast.
