Stop Stretching Your Hip Flexors - Try Single Leg Bridges

😎Stop Stretching Your Hip Flexors - Try Single Leg Bridging Instead😎
A great stretch alternative is to activate the posterior chain repeatedly throughout the day. One of my favorite ways to do this is an isometric single leg bridge. First test and re-test how "tight' your hip flexors are with a lunge or have someone test active prone hip extension vs passive. If either are limited, this often works well. Cue the patient to
🔵drive the heel into the mat/table
🔵drive the knee forward into your hand
🔵pull the heel backward into your other hand
🔵if possible, hold the single leg bridge for 30 seconds minimum
🔵re-test the lunge or prone active/passive hip extension
