Exercise of the Week: Hip Flexor & Quad Stretch

Do you sit for more than 4 hours a day? How is your posture? If you suffer from chronic lower back or knee pain or have trouble performing leg movements like squats, lunges, or hip hinges correctly and without pain, most likely you’ve experienced some lower back discomfort from tight hip flexors. Or those tight quadricep muscles are causing the tendons to pull on the patella and creating knee discomfort.
Pack a 1-2 punch with this video! Learn how to relieve tightness in your hip flexors, releasing the lower back, as well as stretching out the quad muscles, which will relieve the pull on your patellar tendon and help your knees perform properly and without pain.
