    Hip Muscle Movements: Extension Flexion

    Uploaded by

    Béla Józsi
    This document discusses stretching the muscles involved in hip and thigh movements. It explains that to stretch a specific muscle, the stretch must involve movements in the opposite direction of that muscle's movements. For example, to stretch the left adductor magnus, movements of extension, internal rotation, and abduction of the left leg should be performed. It also notes that when stretching a very tight muscle, fewer simultaneous opposite movements should be used, and more movements can be incorporated as the muscle loosens. Tables on the following pages list the muscles involved in various hip movements like flexion, extension, external rotation, internal rotation, adduction, and abduction.

    STRETCHING ANATOMY

    Hip Muscle Movements


    The stretches in this chapter are excellent overall stretches; however, not all of these stretches may be completely suited to each persons needs. The muscles involved in the various hip and thigh movements appear in the table on page 90. To stretch specic muscles, the stretch must involve one or more movements in the opposite direction of the desired muscles movements. For example, if you want to stretch the left adductor magnus, you could perform a movement that involves extension, internal rotation, and abduction of the left leg. When a muscle has a high level of stiffness, you should use fewer simultaneous opposite movements (for example, to stretch a very tight adductor magnus, you could start by doing only hip abduction). As a muscle becomes loose, you can incorporate more simultaneous opposite movements.
