Introduction: Let’s Stretch Into the Topic
Hello, dynamic dwellers of Minneapolis! Have you ever leaped, sprinted, or even just gotten up from your desk and felt that twinge in your hip that made you go, “Uh-oh”? That’s your hip flexor waving a little red flag. As your go-to source for all things physical therapy and with a dash of humor to boot, we’re diving deep into the world of hip flexor pain—why it happens, how to heal it, and how to tell it “not today” when it tries to cramp your style.

The hip flexors, a group of muscles near the front of your hip, are like the unsung heroes of your mobility. They pull a heavy load, quite literally, helping you walk, run, and jump.
