    Tight Hip Flexors and Hip Arthritis with Thomas Michaud
    2024/10/30
    This article from Human Locomotion explores the surprising connection between tight hip flexors and hip arthritis pain. It explains that tight hip flexors, specifically the iliopsoas muscle, can compress veins in the hip joint, leading to increased pressure and pain. The article highlights how this pressure can be exacerbated by hip extension and internal rotation movements. The author further details how tight hip flexors can contribute to pain after hip replacement surgery. The article then offers practical advice on stretching and strengthening exercises to address this issue, including gluteus maximus kickbacks and specific hip flexor stretches. The article concludes by recommending avoiding prolonged sitting and sleeping in a fetal position to prevent hip flexor shortening.
