Tight hips result from tension in the hip flexors, which are muscles that connect your upper thigh to your hip and help you bend at the waist or raise your leg. Many people who live a sedentary life have tight hips, but even fit, active people can have tight hips. Hip, knee and back pain are often caused by tight hips so it is important to stretch them regularly to prevent this. As you lower your upper body down, straighten out your right foot behind you, sole facing upward. The aim is to lower yourself until your right hip touches your left knee.
