Hip Flexors
Need help. I'm not very flexible as is but I'm having a real problem with my hip flexors. They are extremely tight and are the limiting factor when trying waist height round kicks and any side kicks (which I've never tried to perfect but am looking more into them now). Most of the time, you would think you would need more groin stretching but instead its the outside of my hips that hurt.
I've done a lot of full power muay thai kicks in the past and think I might have overworked that part of my body. Was never really into stretching but realize I have to make it more of my routine.
I've started to try to strech this are by sitting in chairs with one leg crossed over the other (like ordinary people do) and that is very difficult for me. Is there anything else I can do to to stretch that area or does it sound more like a joint issue, not connective tissue. Thanks.
