Loosen up your hips with some hip flexor mobility drills. The cues used here are definitely helpful in understanding the correct movement and feeling we are trying to accomplish.⠀ ・・・⠀ 🎥 By @dr.jacob.harden ⇐ Thank you 🙌⠀ ・・・⠀ IMPROVE YOUR HIP FLEXOR MOBILITY
.
When we want to stretch the hip flexors, there are 3 primary targets.
🔹️Iliopsoas
🔹️Rectus Femoris
🔹️Adductor Group
.
Most know the first two but are surprised by the last one. But a good portion of your adductors also have some hip flexion components to them. Where might they limit you? Think positions where you create hip extension and abduction, such as the lockout of a sumo deadlift.
.
This hip flexor flow takes you through ↔ stretches for the iliopsoas, adductors, and rectus femoris. You can do any of these statically or dynamically. Whichever you prefer.
.
The 🔑 key to targeting the hip flexors is to pull your pelvis back into a posterior tilt and squeeze the glute throughout all movement. This helps you build active hip extension while improving the hip flexor mobility. If you find that you can't squeeze the 🍑 glute, you are likely too deep into the stretch and need to back out.-⠀ _______________________________⠀ ✅ Discover reliable, driven health professionals, and quality, useful information.
