The hip flexor muscles
The
hip flexor muscles play an important role in joining the
legs to the pelvis and the lower spine. Attached to the
femur, the hip flexors attach to the back of the pelvis and
the first few vertebrae.
The
hip flexors are responsible for lifting the upper leg.
To
loosen the hip flexors, start by resting on one knee with
the other foot well forward, pelvis tilted forward and back
straight. Stretch forward and take the leading knee out over
the front foot. |
