The physical therapist said that I have tight hip flexors (probably from sitting at a desk all day). What is a good stretch for this?
DO NOT STRETCH YOUR HIP FLEXORS!!!!! When your SIJ goes out it rotates forward and down in front and stretches your hip flexors and makes them feel tight. If you try to stretch them any more you will simply pull the SIJ into more dysfunction and make it harder to correct. If you do the corrective exercises the pelvis will roll up in the front and down in the back and take the stretch off of the hip flexors. Just do the exercises in Manual Rounds. If you try to innovate without knowing exactly what you are doing you can make it worse.
