If you’re dealing with front of hip pain that lingers no matter how much you stretch, the problem might not be tightness—it could be soft tissue adhesions in your rectus femoris muscle. This is a common cause of anterior hip pain and hip flexor pain when walking, making every step, squat, or lunge uncomfortable. But the right approach can help you fix it.
In this video, Dr. Joe DeMarco, chiropractor and owner of OcraMed Health, explains why traditional stretching often fails and how adhesions in the rectus femoris can create excessive tension, leading to tendon irritation and pain at the hip. He then demonstrates a highly effective fascial release technique and one of the best exercises for tight/painful hip flexors to restore mobility and eliminate discomfort.
