Do you have pain in your lower back, buttocks or hips, do you have trouble walking, bending or standing? The problem may be rooted in the hip muscles, which are often overlooked in strength training. The hip flexors are the engine of movement and play an essential role in core strength and stability. If you have a weak core, the hip flexors become overloaded and cause the iliopsoas to tense, which limits mobility. Stretching and strengthening these stabilizing muscles can improve athletic performance and reduce the risk of pain and injury.
