Kneeling hip flexor stretch
Mobility · Learning · in seconds held · per side
Why it helps your running
A looser psoas lets your hip open up behind you: your stride lengthens without your lower back paying for it.
- You'll need
- nothing: just your bodyweight
How to do it
- One knee on the ground, the other foot forward, torso upright.
- Squeeze the glute on the kneeling side and push your hips slightly forward: you'll feel the stretch at the front of the hip.
- Keep your lower back neutral, hips slightly tucked, and breathe.
Common mistakes
- Your lower back arches instead of the hip opening up.
- You shift too far forward and the front knee goes well past the foot.
