Are Your Hip Flexors Tight? Or Are They Weak?

Most people feel like they have tight hip flexors, but what if they’re just weak?

Today we're going to show you a quick test see if your hip flexors need more than stretching.

Many people get caught up with constantly stretching but get no lasting results, they always feel tight and they always feel the need to stretch more.

To find out if your hip flexors are weak, try this simple test!
We go through what exercises to do if you pass or if you fail!

Stronger hip flexors should mean the tightness feeling will start to leave and once your hip flexors feel awesome you shouldn’t need to use this drill as often.

One of my big focus points is that mobility drills should be so effective that you don't need to do them all the time.

Always remember that weakness can cause that feeling of tightness also so stretching isn’t necessarily always the answer!

The hip flexor is only one element of what it takes to have healthy strong functioning hips! If you want to know more about complete hip mobility then check out the Complete Hip Conundrum blog (https://tommorrison.uk/blog/2018-12-1...) OR just jump straight in for The Simplistic Mobility Method:
