Resilient Posture Program: https://www.resilientedu.com/posture In this video, I break down why your hip flexor isn’t actually the source of your hip tightness and why stretching it over and over never gives you the results you expect. I explain how your center of mass, rib cage, and pelvis position create tension through the psoas, and why the solution is restoring alignment, not attacking one muscle. Then I walk through three exercises that fix the real issue by shifting your weight back, decompressing the hips, and stacking the rib cage and pelvis so your hips can actually move.
