In this episode, I dive into why hip flexors often feel tight even when they aren't actually short. Many people rely on stretching for relief, but tightness is often a sign that the hip flexors are overworking to compensate for other muscles that aren't supporting the pelvis, spine, and legs properly. I explain how to identify these patterns and why stretching alone may not create lasting change.

I also share a three-step approach to hip flexor strengthening, focusing on awareness, precise strengthening, and integrating coordinated movement into everyday activities. By retraining your hip flexors in this way, you can reduce tightness, improve mobility, and create long-term support and stability for your body.
