Pinch In Your Hips? Release, Stretch & Strengthen This Overlooked Muscle for Instant Relief

😣 Tight Hips When You Squat, Sit, or Walk? It Could Be Your TFL

If you’ve been dealing with that annoying pinch or tightness in your hip, especially during walking or running, squats or long periods of sitting 🪑— the problem might not be your hip flexors or IT band directly... it could be in your TFL (Tensor Fasciae Latae) muscle. 🎯

In this video, I’ll guide you through everything you need to know to release, stretch, and strengthen the TFL to finally get relief and move better 🔓

💥 What You’ll Learn:

✅ What the TFL muscle actually does (and why it gets tight)
✅ How it connects to IT band pain, hip stiffness, and even knee issues
✅ The reason foam rolling your IT band doesn't work 🙅‍♂️
✅ My top soft tissue release technique using a lacrosse or tennis ball 🎾
✅ The best TFL stretches to improve flexibility
✅ Key strengthening exercises to prevent overuse and imbalances 💪
✅ How to tell if your glute medius is weak (and why it matters)

Whether you're a 🏃‍♂️ runner, 🏋️‍♀️ lifter, athlete, or just someone trying to move pain-free — this is essential knowledge for fixing hip mechanics from the root.
