Quad and Hip Flexor Tightness

Quad and Hip Flexor Tightness

Today's Q and A question is on hip flexor and quad tightness that causes low back pain. This is such a common question! Often people don’t even realize that their tight quads and hip flexors are pulling on their back, so I think it’s great that she’s noticing this connection and getting some relief with stretching.

Let’s dive in further and learn a little more about this topic.

“My hip flexors and quads are very tight. I feel like I have good quad strength, but my hip flexors seem very weak. When I don't stretch my hip flexors and quads it feels like they're pulling on my back and it leads to low back pain. Sometimes my glutes will also get tight and releasing them also helps the back pain. Do I need more hip flexor strength? If so, how?”
