Hip pain can make it difficult to perform everyday activities. Here are three of my favorite hip stretches to help relieve hip pain and tightness.
Wide leg trunk rotation, seated figure 4, and seated hip flexor stretches are all simple stretches to get started. They can be done on a couch, bed, or on the floor. These should help loosen up tight hip muscles and relieve pain in the hip and low back area.
