How to Fix Your Hip Flexor Pain | STEP-BY-STEP Guide

Dr. Rowe shows how to quickly get rid of hip flexor muscle pain.

Tight and weak hip flexors (including the iliopsoas, or psoas) are a big overlooked cause of lower back pain. Additionally, they may cause pain in the front of the leg, groin, and hip area.

Since they're such a deep muscles, massage is not very effective at releasing tightness or offering relief. Instead, the best method to focus on is activating (loosening) the muscles through mobility exercises and then strengthening (to prevent issues later on).

This video will be broken up into separate parts to focus on this. Go through all parts to get the best results, and use what works best for you.

As a bonus, all of these iliopsoas muscle and hip flexor stretching exercises can be done at home, require no special equipment, and may give quick pain relief... even in as little as 30 seconds!

Watch now and instantly fix tight hip flexors at home!

Words of wisdom that I need to hear on repeat: "If you want long-lasting pain relief, you have to make those muscles stronger." -- Dr. Rowe

[johndevor]

I've had 15+ years of pain that has resolved with this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel like I have a new confidence and a new lease on life.

[RDC]

I truly can't thank you enough for the content that you put out (for FREE). You truly are a great person, thank you so much!

62 year old runner here going through my first hip strain injury from a foolish over exertion interval hill session I did last month. These exercises are terrific and offer immediate relief from the tension and some pain I get there. And yes you need to keep doing these daily to get strong back there. I also use resistance bands which too.

[MrJacknutz]

Clear, concise, and easy to understand and follow instructions. I hope you realize just how much good you are pouring out into the world. I'm currently in PT for an inability to lift myself up a stair on my right leg. Your explanations help to visualize and understand the exercises I'm doing. This particular post is golden. Thank you, Dr Rowe.

Your intro is prob the most important thing for people to understand that *lengthening* (stretching) AND strengthening are both critical. You can't just stretch hips and expect a fix IMO. My issue has been I am quite flexible but some of these muscles are weak while others over-compensate. Having these videos combine the stretch then the strengthening (and balanced all around) have been great tools for me. You do them in a way that makes it fluid and easy to do. Thank you!

[wendys]

These exercises alleviated my hip flexor pain the first time I did them. WOW. THANK YOU!

[geemoneysteele]

I’ve been in pain for 6 months because of surgery and no doctors can tell me a way to help my self besides this I found on YouTube. Thank you, you give me a little more faith in doctors

[regulatorE]

Had lower back pain on one side the last week or so. It's also the side of my current tight/sore hip flexor, had no idea they could be related, will work on these, thanks doc!

[carole.ronning]

This came like a prayer Doctor! I’ve been dealing with these issues for two weeks with my Chiro. Thank you fellow Michigander from Wyoming!

[sherilumley]

It's been a couple of weeks since I've been doing the exercises, and for the first time in years, I didn't have any hip pain after my run. In fact, I felt so good I decided to run the next day too, maybe a little too early for that, but I did the stretching afterwards, and the next day, the residual pain was gone. These are really, really good exercises! I've been through PT for my hip before, and it helped some, but not as well as these. I have been icing this time around, and I think that makes a difference too! Thank you so so much for making this video!

[jaselee]

Thank you so much. I have been dealing with this pain for about an year know, I’ve seen 3 different doctors who all diagnosed it as sciatica and told me it will go away, I’ve seen 2 different chiropractors who tried all sorts of different treatments. Following this video is the first time I have actually achieved any type of pain relief

Hallelujah. Been under an osteopath for months due back pain caused by tight hip flexors. Only been told to do the typical hip flexor stretch and nothing like this, and things weren't improving. In one session using this I have relieved alot pressure in my back and I can feel the benefits already and how weak my flexors are. Thanks 🙌🙌🙌

[wardrobelion]

Very good😊. I’ve done these for years. I’ve never been one to “workout” but am a firm believer in stretching and flexibility.

[Shoshanim]

You’re the best! Thank you for what you do each day. God bless you! ❤️🕊❤️

[joker-zwxl]

It literally made my back cry out of joy thank you

[GreatestXchange]

Good morning, Doctor Rowe.
I hope that you have a great day! ☺️

I've had low back, hip, and leg discomfort for some time. I was a gymnast for 15 years and struggled through the pain never finding much help even after 10 years of being out of the sport. My massage therapist recommended 5 minutes a day of "opposite activation" for hips and back etc. as my dental hygiene job has me sitting and hunching over to work on patients. I have done this video 1 time so far but already notice the relief and a general feeling of strength in those areas. I will continue to do this video and am very glad I came across it. Thank you!

[vivrenate]

Thank you so much, Dr. Rowe. Your presentation is very clear. I have this problem on my right hip flexor, and it's rather painful. I'm grateful for these exercises.
