A hip flexor muscle is a muscle that functions in flexing the hip, ie bringing the knee closer to the chest. Hip flexion is maximal with a high, forward kick that brings the leg above the level of the waist[1]. Every time you take a step, you are using your hip flexor muscles. They are important to keep the posterior pelvic muscles in balance. Having a strong core is one way to strengthen hip flexors (along with practicing good posture). Stretching these muscles will also increase their length and help prevent injury[2]. The hip flexors consist of 5 key muscles that contribute to hip flexion: iliacus, psoas, pectineus, rectus femoris, and sartorius. The iliacus and psoas muscles are often grouped together as the iliopsoas musculotendinous unit secondary to overlapping function and anatomic proximity Injuries: Athletic injuries to the hip flexors and iliopsoas have been described in populations across all levels of competitive sports. Estimates of hip flexor pathology ranges from 5% of injuries all the way to 28% of injuries among high-risk sport-specific groups. Although most of these injuries are successfully treated with conservative management, and high rates of return to play are observed, significant rehabilitation time can be involved.[3] Poor posture, general overuse, and sometimes arthritis can also cause pain in the hip flexors. Strains, tears, tendinosis, and bursitis of the iliopsoas muscle can all present similarly. Overuse or eccentric hip flexion against resistance is often the cause. Bursitis or tendinosis is caused by overuse of the iliopsoas tendon resulting in friction as the tendon glides over the iliopectineal eminence. Dancers are prone to hip pain at some point. Symptoms of an iliopsoas strain or tear are typically: groin and/or proximal medial thigh pain, which are exacerbated by actively flexing the hip against resistance pain with passive extension of the hip by stretching the iliopsoas tendon tenderness over the femoral triangle swelling may also be palpated.
