Pride Plus Healthsays: “Prolonged sitting places the hip flexors, which are the muscles at the top and front aspect of your thigh, into a shortened position. As a result, these muscles can become tight and weak, which ultimately leads to hip pain.” This is why doing some simple stretches and mobility work (moves that increase the range of movement of your body) is so important for our body’s overall health. The more you do this, the less likely you’ll suffer from aches and pains in the future.
I gave this stretch a go myself, and let me tell you, it was GREAT. I’ve done a similar stretch before, but without my feet being placed on a wall. However, I definitely feel the wall, firstly, makes this easier and, secondly, allows you to get into a deeper stretch because you’re more stable. I set a timer for 15 seconds on one side and then repeated it on the other and did this twice. Warning: you can find yourself getting carried away with your timer because the stretch does feel so nice, so maybe try and schedule it when you actually have a good 10 minutes spare. It’s definitely firmly added to my bank of stretches for the foreseeable.
