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.

Tight Hips?
Long term pain from shortened hip muscles can mean permanent hip, knee and lowback damage. Target the muscles involved with specific Stretch Away Pain exercises to reduce and eliminate hip pain. Muscle pain is due to muscle shortening.

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.
