Hip Mobility: Exercises To Get You Mobile
I recently did a post on how to loosen up tight hip flexors. It focuses specifically on how to get mobile through the front of your hips, however a recent comment that I have had reminds me that everyone has different problems.
I also run a site on Volleyball Conditioning, and have recently done a post on how to get more range through your hips, as it is actually quite important for many skills in Volleyball. The post has a lot of exercise examples, pictures and videos on how to general loosen up what is a pretty tight area in most people. Check it out if you have problems associated with tight hips or simply want to get more range through your hips in general.

Hi, I heard that no matter however one stretches his tight hipflexors it still doesn’t stop it from shortening, i.e the stretches only helps for a while then you have to stretch them again. Is there aany way one can be saved from tight hipflexors?
Thanks very much
My biggest problem is when I try to run. I would like to start running again. I stretch before I run. However, my chiropractor says I have facet syndrome combined with tight hip flexors. When I try to run, within minutes my lower back becomes so tight that it is sometimes unbearable. I have to stop and stretch, and then I can run for a few minutes, stretch again, and so on. Any suggestions? Possibly running with Icy hot on my lower back?
Thanks,
Stefan
I noticed you said you do volleyball conditioning. Are you familiar at all with a man named Adrian Crook (www. inflex.com)? I’m not sure he is around anymore, his site and number are non-responsive, but he used to promote stretching and mobility work for sports, including volleyball (Karch Kiraly, others). Are you familiar with him?
Stefan: did you try to release your hip flexors?
Sifter: no, not familiar with him, but just about to check him out
Cheers.
