Fix Tight HIP FLEXORS (no stretching!)
The hip flexors have a tendency to become stiff and tight in many athletes. However, if your endless stretching isn't fixing the problem - you may be going about it the wrong way. Often stiff hip flexors are the SYMPTOM of a bigger problem and the result of under-active glutes and poor core stability. In today's video Dr. Aaron Horschig shows you a 4-step process to go through to help you address ALL possible factors that are continuing to leave your hip flexors stiff and tight.

The idea of "lower crossed syndrome" does NOT apply to everyone. However it is a pattern that is often seen. While there are athlete's who do not exhibit all parts of this "syndrome," the idea of treating the WHY behind stiff & tight muscles rather than CHASE the STIFFNESS remains.
