Why Your Hips Feel Tight (And What To Do)

If your hips feel stiff after sitting all day, you’re not alone. I used to think stretching my quads was enough, but my psoas (deep hip flexor) was the real culprit. 🔸 Try the half-kneeling psoas stretch: Kneel on one knee, tuck your tailbone, and gently push your hips forward. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides. Do this a couple times a day. 🔸 Add a quad stretch: While in the kneeling position, grab your back foot and pull it toward your butt. This hits your quads and psoas at once. 🔸 Mix in bridge pose: Lie on your back, feet flat, and lift your hips. This opens up both psoas muscles and feels great after a long day at a desk. 🔸 Don’t forget to move: Take breaks from sitting every hour. Even a quick walk around the room helps keep your hips happy. These tweaks made a huge difference for me. Give them a shot if your hips are cranky from too much chair time! #HipFlexors #Stretching #DeskLife #Health #Fitness
