Painless Mobility Goes Through Your Hip Flexors

Virtually every movement your body makes goes through the hips. Hip flexors are the engine through which our bodies move. They control balance, our ability to sit, stand, twist, reach, bend, walk and step.

And when the hip flexors tighten it can lead to a host of problems, even in seemingly healthy and active individuals.

Tight or locked hip flexors can contribute to your hip-related sports injuries or hip-related health issues such as:

• lower back pain and hip pain.
• damaged and injured tissues.
• Poor sleep.
• restricted range of hip motion and low tolerance for weight-bearing activities.
• poor lower body health in the glute, hamstrings, quads, and hip muscles that are out of alignment, badly coordinated that cause struggles with everyday activities.

Your massage therapist can support your return to full function and mobility using such techniques as myofascial, trigger point and deep tissue massages to provide you relief from issues with hip flexor maladjustment and poor function.

Hip flexor massage is a conventional technique that can help give you immediate relief from pain and stiffness while providing you long-term benefits for recovery from certain injuries. It works best when combined with other treatment methods, including stretching, exercise, foam rolling, and many more techniques.
