THE HIP OPENER GUIDE: REDUCING PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH PROLONGED SITTING
Most people spend the majority of their day sitting, whether it is at work, in a car, or on the sofa. Sitting for prolonged periods, especially with poor posture, can lead to tightness in the hips and shortened hip flexors.
This can cause other muscles to overcompensate to pick up the slack. For instance, the glutes (butt muscles) become lengthened, which will lead to poor body alignment and aches. Tight hip flexors also restrict proper rotation of the pelvis, which can cause compression and pain in the lower back.
