One of the best things you can do for your hip health is to perform eccentric-focused exercises. These are movements that strengthen your tissues in the lengthening phase of a contraction to boost flexibility and overall robustness. While this may sound complicated, it’s very simple and can be done almost anywhere.

Today I want to cover an exercise called the Thomas test which can help transform the health of your hip flexors, one of the most untouched areas of the body for most people. This will help keep many of the hip stabilizers in check and improve the efficiency and safety of all your lower body movements. For something as quick and beneficial as this, it’s a no-brainer for anyone looking to bulletproof the all-important hip joint!

Lengthening & Strengthening the Hip Flexors Is the Secret Recipe You Need

Before jumping into this great exercise, please be aware that this movement comes with its risks. If you have any hip complications or chronic conditions that may complicate things, see a trusted health provider before following any health advice below.
