Hip Flexors

Hip flexors are a group of muscles located at the front of your hips that help lift your knees toward your torso and bend your waist forward. The main muscles include the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and sartorius. They play a crucial role in everyday movements such as walking, running, and sitting down. When these muscles are tight or weak, it can cause discomfort, reduce mobility, or contribute to poor posture. Maintaining healthy hip flexors through regular stretching and strengthening exercises supports better movement, reduces injury risk, and promotes overall hip and lower back health.
