How To Stretch Hip Flexors?

Kneel on your right knee with your left foot forward, left knee stacked over left ankle

Tuck your pelvis slightly (glute tighten) to avoid arching your lower back

Shift your weight forward until you feel a stretch in the front of your right hip

Keep your torso tall and shoulders relaxed

Hold 20–45 seconds

Switch sides and repeat

Do 2–4 rounds per side

Lie on your back with knees bent

Cross your right ankle over your left knee

Pull your left thigh toward your chest until you feel a stretch in the right hip flexor

Keep your lower back relaxed against the floor

Hold 20–45 seconds

Switch sides and repeat

Do 2–4 rounds per side

Stand in a split stance with your back knee slightly bent

Press your hips forward while keeping your torso upright and glutes engaged

Hold 20–45 seconds

Switch sides and repeat

Do 2–4 rounds per side

Add gentle dynamic prep: 10–15 controlled hip flexor swings per side (front-back or small range)

Finish with static holds (20–45 seconds)

Stop if you feel sharp pain, pinching in the front of the hip, numbness, or radiating pain

Stretch after light activity or warm-up for best results
