Here is my definitive guide for the right exercises to do for hip flexor injuries like strains, tears and tendinopathies: from injury right through to running or kicking a ball.

It's important to start with the basics and work your way up, starting with isometric and working up through to eccentric and then concentric movements.

A mixture of bands helps too, as well as progressing from supine to standing.

As always - remember not to JUST do hip flexor work. You need to have looked at the glutes and make sure you've done your homework on that, as a problem or weakness in the glute or hip stability issues can be a leading cause of hip flexor injuries in the first place.

In order, the strength exercise progression in the video is:
1️⃣ Isometric Holds
2️⃣ Pelvic Push Pulls - Isometric Holds
3️⃣ Isometric Resisted - Loop Band
4️⃣ Eccentric  Lowers - Loop Band
5️⃣ Eccentric Lowers - Mini Powerband
6️⃣ Concentric Raises - Mini Powerband
7️⃣ Standing Flexion - Loop Band
8️⃣ Standing flexion - Mini Powerband
