Ballet Hip Flexor Stretch
The hip flexors are crucial to ensure a proper stride length when running. If the hip flexors are too tight, the stride length is limited and increased stress is placed upon the lumbar spine. A general method to assess normal hip flexor length is to lie supine (on your back) on a table or bed with one leg hanging off the edge. The knee of the hanging leg is bent to 90 degrees. In this position, you should not feel a stretch of the front thigh. If you do, the musculature is too tight and needs more attention. Practical Benefits: This stretch improves stride length and reduces lower back stress. Areas of Caution: Avoid this stretch if you experience lower back pain during or after the exercise. Keep the back in a neutral or straight position to prevent lower back strain.
