Never thought hip flexor stretch could be this easy! Got instant stretch sensation when I followed your "tuck tail" instruction. Thank you.

You are very welcome Terry, Glad the video was so helpful. Dr. B2

[@pifitnesstraining]

This is a great video demo. The modifications on the primary stretch was perfect!

I look forward to your weekly Sunday videos.

Thanks Patrick, You can access all of our videos on BrentBrookbush.com …. you should check it out. Dr. B2

[@patricklimon827]

Been a member since 2015! I just notice you release new videos on here first on Sundays before they go on the app

[@BrookbushInstitute]

@@patricklimon827 That's not quite true... sometimes a video or two might get posted on youtube before I have a chance to label videos for integration into the App Video Search Tree.... but you actually have access to 100s of videos that are not on KZbin, and most of the newest videos have never been published on KZbin.

Thanks Lars!

Good day! Im a Physical Therapist student in Germany and watch your videos regularly. My teacher taught us this same exact Method and ive played around with it in the Past. My question however is, how one could modify it so that the knee is not in contact with any surface whatsoever. I myself and comrades with particularly Bad knees (squatting, soccer etc) found the stretch to be too harsh since it puts a lot oft stress on it. Do you have an idea how to get around this issue without losing too many benefits this stretch offers? I couldnt find anyone that came up with a satisfying alternative. Thanks!

[@BrookbushInstitute]

Hey Dave, I find a thick pad cures the knee issue 9 out of 10 times… like an Airex pad. You could do a staggered stance, standing version with posterior pelvic tilt, but you loose the rectus femoris stretch. Dr. B2

[@marcoganzo4266]

@@BrookbushInstitute thank you for the answer. Keep up the good work and keep spreading knowledge. Dave

[@TMFitness]

How is squatting bad for your knees?

[@eztse]

amazing video

[@brentbrookbush9505]

Hey Eztse, Potentially if not done with good form. If it does exacerbate symptoms I would recommend getting some one-on-one coaching from a professional. Dr. B2

[@wenhaosu8242]

Good update!

[@BrookbushInstitute]

Thanks Wenhao! Dr. B2

[@lartdelavivre1]

Mr Brookbush, if TFL is flexible but the rectus fermoris is tight, the "couch stretch" could be used right?

[@markyoung5745]

What a superb informative video. So well explained. 👌👌

[@illicod5247]

Nice and useful video

[@wellfit9470]

Hi Brent, how often would you recommend doing this Stretch? How hard should we push fwd the hips and for how long?

[@BrookbushInstitute]

If you have assessed over-activity and a decrease in hip extension ROM, you can do the stretch 2 times per day until you gain back normal range. Dr. B2

[@xj3130]

This really makes other fitness professionals on youtube look bad. Thank you for making this! There should be an M not a K in your subscriber count.

[@brentbrookbush9505]

Thank you Xuyang, Slowly but surely. We are proud to have 10s of 1000s of subscribers. As an education company, that is no small feat ;-) Dr. B2

[@whatrtheodds]

Wow I stretched my tensor fascia latae. Thanks B2. ;)

[@kennyjohnson1428]

First class videos

[@haanswinn]

wait wouldnt u rotate the other way with ur arm to get the max stretch on iliopsoas?

[@alexmontague5440]

No because psoas facially blends into the adductors so if u rotate the other way you are increasing internal rotation and adduction which brings the two parts of psoas together
