Hip Flexor Information
The Hip Flexor is not a single muscle in your body, but rather a combination of several muscles and tendons that are located in the hip region. All the muscles that are considered part of the Hip Flexor aid in hip flexion in one way or another. Hip flexion is the movement where your hip becomes contracted, most noticeably when you lift up your leg.
When you think about it you may not think that the Hip Flexor is that important, but in reality it is considered one of the most important muscle groups in the human body. You activate your Hip Flexors every time you take a step, climb a stair, or bend over, which happens thousands of times every day.
