Whether you’re looking to improve squat depth, reduce lower back tension, or simply regain hip mobility, this banded hip flexion stretch is a powerful tool. It uses gentle resistance and assistance to help you relax deeper into the range.
How to Do It:
- Anchor a resistance band slightly above ground level and loop it securely as close to your hip joint as possible.
- Lie on your back with your banded leg off the ground, toes pointing toward the ceiling.
- Begin by actively pulling your knee toward your chest.
- Once it’s close, use your hands to assist and gently pull it deeper into the stretch.
- Hold for 5–10 seconds, breathing and relaxing into the band’s pull.
- Slowly reset between reps, staying mindful of tension and control.
This stretch helps improve hip flexion by combining active engagement with passive support—a great pairing for postural reset or lower body warm-ups.
