Hip Flexor Stretch

Kneel on the mat and place one foot forward so that the knee is at a 90 degree angle (tip: you may want to be next to a wall to help with balance) and your foot is flat on the floor.

Slowly and gently move your body forwards keeping your upper body completely upright. So that the knee you are kneeling on is behind you and you feel a stretch in the front of your hip.

Stop moving forwards when the stretch feels a 7/10 and hold for at least 30 seconds.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do keep your tummy tight
  • Do keep a straight back and good posture
  • Do move in a slow controlled manner
  • Do keep your head in line with your spine
  • Do breathe deeply and slowly
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't push the stretch too far
  • Don't arch your back
  • Don't lean forwards
  • Don't bounce to increase the stretch
