Your hip flexors are an important and often forgotten part of your lower body that if neglected, can cause you a lot of pain and discomfort in your lower back and legs. First, let me explain what the hip flexors are and what they do.
The hip flexors connect to your spine around the T12 vertebrae and extend down to your Femur bone at the top of your quads. Their function is to help with the movement of the hips and enabling you to move your legs up and down in front of you as you would when you are climbing stairs or on a hike with a lot of uphill sections.
Your hip abductor muscles, calves, and abs also assist your hip flexors with these movements. If any of these muscles are weak, the others will try and compensate.
