Hip Pt. 1 - Hip (flexors) don't lie

Every week, I see patients at my chiropractic office in Ottawa who are complaining about tension across the front of one or both hips. Tight hips are usually our body telling us that we’re sitting a ton without balancing our day with enough movement.

Most often, anterior hip tension isn’t painful, but it can be bothersome when we go to run, bike, or lift. This blog will cover a few of the muscles involved in generating this tension feeling and some strategies we can use to reduce it, as well as the considerations for specific sport applications.
