Perfect timing for this article is over the past few weeks. I’ve been having pain shooting down my legs to the plantar fascia. And I determined that indeed was my hips. So I started pigeon pose, and a few other stretches, and quite a bit of the pain has disappeared. I’ve also been working on strength by doing glute bridges with a kettlebell, good mornings with the kettlebell. I put weights on my legs when I do the dead bug, and I’ve been doing other strengthening exercises.
Seated office worker/marathon runner here. This article couldn’t have come at a better time! I‘ve been stretching the hip flexors regularly but forgetting the strength part. I’ll incorporate those exercises in my routine!
Thank you for this. I have anterior pelvic tilt postpartum and it’s been a nightmare. I shall try the exercises!
When I go on really long bike rides my hip flexors cramp up. Im gonna try these exercises! Thanks for the info :)

Fantastic insights! It’s time to start working on strength and flexibility, so I can move beyond this injury in a sustainable way.
