Hip Flexor Strain: Easing Front Hip Pain and Restoring Strength

What Is a Hip Flexor Strain?
A hip flexor strain occurs when one of the muscles at the front of the hip (commonly the iliopsoas or rectus femoris) is overstretched or torn.

Causes:

• Sudden acceleration or kicking

• High-speed sports like soccer or sprinting

• Poor flexibility or warm-up

• Muscle imbalances or fatigue

Symptoms:

• Pain at the front of the hip or groin

• Tightness or weakness when lifting the knee

• Discomfort when walking, running, or kicking

• Tenderness when pressing on the front hip area

✅ Manual therapy to release tight tissues and reduce pain
✅ Gentle stretching and range of motion exercises

✅ Sport-specific retraining and technique correction
