ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Matt and Maks at Upright Health New Jersey show you hip flexor strengthening exercises you can do at home or the office. If hip flexor stretches aren't relieving your hip flexor tightness, often activating hip flexors will. When doing these exercises, you should focus on your rectus femoris, psoas, TFL, glute minimum, glute medius, and satrorious doing the work. You may also feel your adductors doing some work.

Isnt it amazing, that youtube is a better help than doctors, physiotherapists and all those other charlatans :) Thanks for the good content :)!
-
So happy to find this video! Recently wheelchair bound due to Gullian Barre, trying to get back on my feet. Insurance stopped paying for PT. This will help my goal

You've helped after 2 months of pain when my therapist and chiropractic could not!
-
From 6 years I have been suffering from knee bursitis. 3 MRIs, 17 orthopaedic doctors, 3 physiotherapists, tried almost all videos on YouTube. Any exercise and every stretch resulted in knee bursitis. Didn't give up. Had cycled 400 mts, again got bursitis. While suffering the burning sensation casually clicked your video. Tried it on bed. Got instant relief. Swelling came down instantly. Thank you so much 🥺
-
OMG... This works!! You have no idea the complications I have with my lower back; it has been extending around both sides and through my hips. Horrible pain. I’m doing this 3 plus times a day!
-
I love this video. That's exactly my problem.I am a stroke patient. My legs are extreamly heavy, Now I will try this. Thank you man! You are awesome!
-
Those were great. Been fighting hip flexor issues for a while. Love these. Thank you.
-
I’ve been told my problem is in the hip flexors but all I’ve ever done is to stretch them and have absolutely gotten no where with that. Doing these exercises I could really feel how week they are. Hopefully after doing the them for a while, I’ll see some improvement. I’m really happy I came across your channel. Thanks.
-
Thank you!! Just what I was looking for, basic exercises that really help, without all the wordy explanations first, thank you for getting to the point!!! I tried these today and will keep it up a few times a day, I know it[s already helping!
-
AWESOME!!! Love it!! I feel the difference and my right hip is bowing to you. Thank you very much!!
-
Thank you so much for this. I've had chronic pain in my right hip flexor and this is the first time I've felt activation rather than just utterly depressing pain
-
Wowsies, love the activation. I have a weak right hip flexor & only through volunteering for testing helped reveal it to me. Great vid
-
Really helpful hip flexor strengthening exerices. Thank you both!
-
Thank you! I’ve been dealing with sore hip flexors after soccer for a long time
-
I love the way you explain the exercise, the muscles and all very well and pointing the wrong ways. I am trying to study for the practise exercise exam as a physiotherapy student.Thank you!
-
My goodness the seated one is amazing! And you can do it ANYWHERE! Thank you!!
-
Great help! Can’t thank you guys enough! I found the right side (predominant) was harder than the left on the seated hold.
-
Thanks for this. I’ve struggled with hip flexors when doing other parts of my workout (boat holds, etc) 👍🏾
-
So funny - I just openend youtube with the intention of doing some hip strenghthening moves, and there you are in my subscription notifications! Tried them right away, and like them a lot. Thank you guys from Berlin, Germany :-)
