Hip Flexor Exercises | Leg Stretches and Muscle Stretch

great info.

hey larry, best bet is to see a doctor/physiotherapist before attempting any stretches, especially if your saying your older. It may well help stretching this muscle if your having a bit of trouble getting out of the car and down stairs.
Could also be your stomache muscles being a bit tight?
I suffer a back problem, so my hip flexor muscles always tighten, which does make it difficult to walk down stairs/hills. So these stretches may help you, just see a professional for advice first okay buddy :)

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!

Hi,
Exactly 3 weeks and 2 days ago i fell backwards during a soccer game. I fell directly onto my right rear side just above the butt cheek. Initially i experienced no pain, however on the previous day and those to follow i was unable to run, lift my right leg firmly off the ground or walk up a flight of stairs without heavy discomfort. My doctor told me i had sustained heavy bruising to my glutus maximus and advised three weeks. Three weeks has passed and i experience the pain somewhat slightly, i can also manage a flight of stairs without pain and even lightly jog down, but cannot kick a ball without the muscle hurting. Do you think its too soon to do this exercise, and what advice can you give to me.
Thanks!
Brice

I prefer the samson stretch. It''s very similar but you accomplish everything at once. Google it you will see what I mean.

It''s so much easier seeing movement on these graphics than just the static demos you see on most sites.

It''s absolutely amazing how many people that work out regularly neglect a proper stretch. An I agree with Tyciol about the position. Even the people who do, don''t really bother to do it right.

Just imagine how many injuries could be prevented in this way.
