How to Unlock Tight Hip Flexor Muscles?

The moment you do some exercises focusing on lower body such as deadlift and squats, hips may also flare up.

People even try to strengthen and stretch this area by following typical routines, but it cannot provide desired results all the time.

But before we dive deeper into the method to unlock them, let us collect few details about what they are and what is the prime reason behind tightening of hip flexors.

In general terms, it can be defined as a group of muscles that are present around the thigh area and help to connect the upper leg to the hip.

Note that, these muscles are involved in almost all lower body movements including exercises such as bench press, overhead press, deadlift, and squat as well.

There are numbers of hip flexors; the primary ones include gracilis, adductor brevis, adductor longus, pectineus, tensor fasciae latae, Sartorius, rectus femoris, and lliopsoas.
