hip flexor stretch
Lunge position hold
A hip flexor stretch is any exercise that lengthens the muscles connecting the hip to the thigh, particularly the iliopsoas.
These muscles tighten from prolonged sitting, so the stretch is common in fitness routines and physical therapy.
The classic version is a lunge position with the back knee down: Hold the hip flexor stretch for thirty seconds on each side.
