Lana thank you for this stretch. I just got back into tennis again and I been using the bands to work out my hip flexors but did not know how to stretch them. I did your stretch tonight and it felt amazing :)

Thank for this video. I am a dancer (amateur, but love it) and have had groin soreness and left hip pain and left lower back stiffness. I found out by researching on my own that it is my tight hip flexors and I have looked for exercises, and this one seems to be the most effective. No need for equipment is nice.

Thank you for showing this stretch. It helped me a lot. Even took away some hip flexor pain I've been having from being a runner.

@MsFruitbasket I don't think it would unless you had some kind of scar tissue or adhesions connecting the two hip flexor. The RF is the only quad that crosses the hip joint so it'd be the most likely to encounter problems like that, but they are separate muscles.

@tyciol Do the quads, specifically this rectus femoris, pull on the Psoas Major when performing this stretch? I looked at some graphics but it doesn't seem to show that the RF would affect the area that i was talking abt in the pelvic region. Thank you

[MsFruitbasket]

@tyciol Thank you!

@MsFruitbasket Sounds like the rectus femoris Ms FB.

[tyciol]

@MsFruitbasket MsFB that sounds like the rectus femoris, it's a hip flexor that attaches to the quadriceps tendon (it's part of the quads) and it is stretched by both hip extension and knee flexion.

[tyciol]

@MsFruitbasket You can do both. Movements like sit ups and leg raises will strengthen it, we use them to raise our knees while running, kneeing people in the groin, etc.
