hip extensors-all you need to know about hip flexor stretch and groin stretch.

If you are about to engage in a competitive game of bowling then it’s a good idea to take a few moments to warm up. There are several and easy hip extensors exercises you can use to get your muscles limbered up and ready to move.

Rolling a 16 pound ball down the bowling lane requires more effort than you might think, and the more prepared your body is, the less likely you are to injure yourself, by straining your muscles and joints. Bowling also can cause repetitive strain on your arms, wrists and knees.

When you don’t prepare properly for this kind of exertion, then you make it more likely that small traumas, leading to serious injuries eventually, occur when you play. To prevent these issues, you can use the following exercises to stretch and warm up the specific areas of your body that are used in bowling.

Always try to perform these exercises before each bowling session, whether it’s a competitive game or a practice session. In case of hip flexor stretch this large muscle is an important one to warm up. A typical way to do this is to step forward with your left leg, while keeping your right leg straight.

Slowly bend your left knee until you can feel the stretch in your right hip. 

Make sure your left knee doesn’t go over your left foot. Hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds, and then stretch your other leg. Repeat this stretch three times.

In case of groin stretch, with the long leg extension used in bowling the groin area is particularly susceptible to strain. To make sure this area is properly stretched, sit on the floor and put the soles of your feet together.

Hold your toes, and slowly lean forward with your upper body bending from your hips. Depending on how flexible you are, you may need to bring your heels closer in to your seat, or move your knees closer to the floor, in order to get a good stretch. Hold this position for about 30 seconds.

If you want to further the stretch by isolating each side of your groin, gently push down one knee as you lean forward. Of course, before embarking on any new physical activity, check with your doctor to make sure you are healthy enough for exercise.

Thus in the treatment of lower back pain and discomfort rectus femora’s has to be treated together with all the other large and powerful muscles that cross multiple joints and are exposed to lengthening contractions. Therefore, treatments must involve the entire spinal muscles from the neck to the base of the spine, gluteus maxim us, adductor magmas and tensor fascia lata muscles as a minimum.

Now I think its relevance is even greater for the general public because we probably spend more time sitting, and we generally do not have 24/7 access to great doctors, therapists and strength coaches.

Whether it is the FMS or another approach to assessing hip extensors movement, learning about your muscular imbalances and then correcting them can have an immense positive impact on your musculoskeletal health.
