Box Hip Flexor Stretch

Printer-Friendly Format

Stretching the psoas and iliacus can be difficult without a partner and a table. The other day I came up with this idea to get all the things we need in a good hip flexor stretch.

1- Internally rotate the femur by positioning yourself at an angle to the box. When you step up onto the box the femur will move into internal rotation.

2- Fix the lumbar spine by using the 12' box. This gives the same effect as using a table but eliminates the need for a table, a strap or a partner. It's an excellent self stretch.

3- Sidebend away to further stretch the spinal attachments of the psoas.

This is a simple, easy to perform stretch, that works excellent.
