Are you struggling with low back pain? In this video, Dr. G reveals the perfect hip flexor stretch to help alleviate your discomfort. However, there are three common mistakes many people make that could be hindering their progress.

Hip flexors are often implicated in low back pain, yet simply stretching them may not be enough. Dr. G explains these mistakes and how to correct them to maximize the effectiveness of your hip flexor stretch.

1. Avoiding Excessive Extension: Many individuals overextend their lower back during the stretch, which can reduce its effectiveness and even exacerbate pain.
2. Engaging the Glutes: Failing to contract your glutes during the stretch can limit the stretch's effectiveness. Contracting your glutes helps tilt your pelvis, enhancing the stretch on your hip flexors.
3. Engaging the Core: Forgetting to engage your core can lead to excessive extension in your lower back, reducing the stretch on your hip flexors. Engaging your core helps maintain proper alignment and enhances the stretch.

By addressing these mistakes and performing the hip flexor stretch correctly, you can effectively relieve low back pain and improve hip flexibility. Dr. G also emphasizes the importance of combining stretching with strengthening exercises for long-term relief.
