Hip Impingement Stretches for Super Stiff People
By Shane Dowd , CES, CMP
Are you struggling with hip impingement discomfort?
Traditional stretches might not be cutting it.
But today, I'm excited to share a breakthrough discovery with you…
Over the past 14+ years, I've worked closely with individuals facing severe hip issues.
From this experience, we've developed seven extraordinary stretches tailored to relieve and enhance mobility for hip impingement patients.
The Importance of Specialized Hip Impingement Stretches
Hip impingement can be incredibly challenging, but specialized stretches can make all the difference.
Let's dive into these 7 stretches for people with limited flexibility.
Watch the video at the top of the page for full walkthroughs.
STRETCH 1: Standing Hip Flexor Lunge Stretch with Pelvic Tilts and Supports
- Stand tall with one foot forward and the other extended behind.
- Gently lunge forward, ensuring your back remains straight.
- Incorporate posterior pelvic tilts to enhance the stretch.
- Use supports for balance if needed.
STRETCH 2: Standing Hip Flexor Lunge Stretch with a Chest Band
- Follow the same steps as the previous stretch.
- Introduce a band placed across your chest to intensify the stretch.
STRETCH 3: Standing Wall Quad Stretch
- Face a wall and place one hand against it for support.
- Bend one knee, bringing your heel towards your buttocks.
- Hold the stretch for a comfortable duration.
STRETCH 4: Standing Wall Quad Stretch with a Band
- Similar to the previous stretch, but add a band for extra support and depth.
STRETCH 5: Seated Band Distracted Glute Stretch

Maximizing Your Hip Impingement Recovery
While these stretches will help you, stretching alone may not be sufficient for complete hip recovery...
You must incorporate targeted tissue work and strength training into your routine to achieve optimal results.
These additional elements can help unlock your stretches, improve your range of motion, and alleviate pain.
