Hip Stretches to Reduce Tightness and Back Pain

Hip Stretches to Reduce Tightness and Back Pain

When stretching out the lower body, the hips often get passed over in favor of the calves, quads, and hamstrings. Bad idea! Hip flexors are what help lift the legs while running, which means they are prone to tightness. Even if you don't run, but you sit a lot during the day, you're probably tight in your hips, so get a stretching! There's also an added bonus to incorporating some Pigeon Pose into your life: stretching out your hips also reduces back pain. Get yourself loose and limber by incorporating the following hip stretches into your daily routine.
