QUADS AND HIP FLEXORS STRETCHES

Learn how to stretch the Quads & Hip Flexors with these simple video static & dynamic stretching examples. 

​

Many people tend to have overly active quads & very tight hip flexors to compensate for a lack of glutes’ strength. Tension in this area may contribute to misalignment of the pelvis, lower back pain & hip pain after running & exercise.

 

Make sure you add both quads stretch & hip flexors exercises to your workout routine, especially if you love running or cycling or if you do any other strenuous cardio exercise/ strength training. They can help you to prevent sports injuries & improve your performance.
