How to Fix Tight Hip Flexors (Build Strength and Mobility)

I think/pray this may be solution to my left hip flexors that have gone excruciating tight since long drive causing me all sorts of pain in that left haunch - I hate stretching per se as I feel everything just pings back - this feels much better - thank you !

I have terrible knees -- what can I do for the ground exercise that doesn't have my weight on my knees while I stretch?

Brilliant, thank you!

Will that help with apt

Great video! I'll def start doing the first 2. The 3rd one tho does it have to be done on the ground? Is that so we use our core more? I do this standing.. essentially the March. Is that the same but not exactly? Haha

Thank you for this video! I have a labral tear, and tight hip flexors /tfl pain etc... is there any modifications due to thé tear or thèse are ok? Thank you so much

Any tips for when the kneeling lunge stretch causes knee pain? In front of knee

Can you give some exercises for those who are not able to kneel such as those after total knee replacement? Please.

Is there by any chance an alternative for the plank part of the serie? I can't hold a plank properly. Thanks.

I don't have any pain and I can't tell if my hips are tight, but I have an overall imbalance where I automatically lean/stand on my right leg for support. I can't really stand up with my legs perfectly straight without causing my right foot to almost lift off the ground. I remember a long time ago I did see a physician once for this and physically he said they are the same length. Where do I even begin with correction?

On the third exercise I cannot put that much pressure on the ball of my left foot due to an injury. Would it be as effective in a standing position?

Is it normal to feel the strech around the knee instead of the hip flexor on the first excersise?

Re editing, please stop cutting randomly between cameras 1 and 2 so much, it's off-putting ;). Great content though! I'm going to try these, I am having a lot of difficulty with my stiff, shortened hip flexors and APT from 5 years sitting at a desk job for 10hrs a day (20 years ago that was, been suffering problems since).
I didn't know that it's necessary to strengthen the hip flexors as well, so thanks for explaining that.

only channel ive found so far that adresses the exact type/ location of tightness ive been feeling

thank you so much!!! really helpful 😃

Great!!!!!

how this only has 200k views is beyond me

Amazing. Thank you

I have tightness in my groin, like right in the crease of the top of my legs. What muscle is this and how do I strengthen it? I do ballet and this muscle is really hindering my splits and range of motion in arabesque.

Thank you very much

I have soreness in butt part more of hip joint

A brilliant set, so good, thank you so much

Show something for with knee back problem

Tight hip flexors fix by tighten them?

great channel

Ridiculous. It’s fine if you are already a flexible tiny little thing. For the normal size and large adult who are not flexible these are impossible. I am 6’ 4” and 235 pounds. I can’t hold my weight on one hand - if anyone knows something more sensible for us normal people please let me know. I am in agony with my hip flexors.

I’ve been dealing with hip flexor pain and extreme tightness ascending out of a squat, which gets worse with load. This would point to a strength issue right? Your description of tightness after sitting synced right up with this!

Hello,
Is there any exercise which can replace the bjj quad stretch which can be very demanding for people who had knee surgery? Also, can it harm your knee if you had a surgery or it is other way around and it can be very helpful? Thank you so much!

Hello what would work if you have a knee replacement and can’t do these?

Can jogging strengthen the hip flexors? They’re always tired after jogging! I use static stretch but perhaps these dynamic stretches are better?

Great video---I remember finding your work in the early 2000's---Tacfit stuff--Thank you Eric

Hi! The third exercise throws me into some pain on the right side a few hours after doing it. Any exercise I could replace it with to progress in my rehab?

Hello Coach E. I have a question for you, I've been having a very painful issue on the lower left side ranging from lower abdomen region to the groin region. This is going on for about a year now and it is immobilizing me at work and in the rest of my actions. I've been to multiple physicians, physical therapists and e few osteopaths. I had an MRI done in the pelvic region and it showed nothing. My physician thinks it is a problem in the iliopsoas muscle and the physical therapists gave me a rest period of 2 months, then some stretches and even more stretches and some exercises to strengthen my core and other muscles in the pelvic region. Needless to say they don't help one bit. Still having a lot of pain when trying to run, jump, squat, bent over to get something of the ground, when turning over in my bed from one side to the other where I have to lift my butt, stand for a longer period and stand up from a sitting position. The pain does subside when I lay down and I have no pain when I wake up in the morning. Do you think these exercises could work for me or would you suggest other exercises? Hope you have an answer for me, I’ve had it with the immobilisation… I was a very active person until this problem came along, I want to be active again. Greetings from Belgium. I love your instructive video's!

For the first exercise is it ok for knee to go way past the toes?? 🤔

How do you know if you are in posterior pelvic tilt for the second exercise?

i have learned a lot from ur channel it just as u name , precesion , thank u coach E

Eric knowing that I'm doing external rotation for leg should I do this exercise or wait. When I do some things I can experience a quick pain in outer upper thigh.... Is that TFL???

Hey Eric, can weakness of the hip flexors cause popping somewhere near the back? My hips are very flexible from the various tests that I conducted so the only answer to conclude to is weakness. Additionally, I have hip flexor stiffness and back pain. Thoughts?

ı am not sure,half kneeling positon,On the first breath we drive the knee on the floor forward (without movement), on the second breath(spread the floor) we drive the knee on the floor backward(without movement)?thanks

All your videos are quality there's so much knowledge and to remember

Hey Eric.....any thoughts on snapping or cracking hip on certain motions and is there anything you can do to correct it? Ty

It’s working, thank you 💯👌🕊

Really like the video and the effort you take to explain stuff. I sit a lot and the leg muscles are weak , at the moment I can't bend the right knee, there's no pain.
But I can't do the exercises you have show. Are there any videos for non sporty people who would like to have very strong muscles and legs for life.

What is a slow 360 breath?thank you

Wait I know I'm really late but is tight hip flexors also the cause for knee pain or what I'm speculating is patellar tendonitis, I was playing basketball that day and like there was this one time when I jumped after landing I went straight down to a squat position because I did not feel any strength in my knee I originally was just going to land normally and after that scene after going home my lower back hurt more than usual and I couldn't even jump my knees were in pain when there was motion involved and I felt very uncomfortable sleeping will this exercise fix my body?
