Dr. Richard DeCarlo is a licensed chiropractor in Vinings, with decades of professional experience and a colleague of Dr. Garber. He has written this guest blog at Dr. Garber’s request to share some of his insight into hip stretches.
The gluteals, hip flexors, and TFL musculature are all members of different critical muscle groups, including the posterior chain. These muscle groups are essential for movement and basic function. They are also prone to becoming tight from extended periods of sitting or bad posture, which are common problems among working Americans.
