Fascia Release for the Hip and Hip Flexors: Home Exercises

Fascia is the thin layer of connective tissue beneath your skin. This surrounds your nerve fiber, blood vessels, muscles, bones and organs. Fascial stretching, using gentle tension to tug at your fascial muscles, allows a release of tightness or stiffness.

For these exercises, you’ll need a yoga strap, towel or a belt. The exercises will stretch and mobilize your hip area as you hold the positions and breathe deeply. You’ll feel the pull and stretch from your knee to your back and shoulder.
