Being fit and strong is a total flex. But what muscles are actually flexing for us? 

We have done it before so we don’t think twice when we walk, break into a jog, nail a deadlift or perfect a box jump. Everything seems in working order so no sweat! But major muscle groups aside, what is actually allowing us to pull off these moves?

Enter, The Hip Flexors.

This collection of muscles (5 to be precise) are vital for safe and strong movements in and out of the gym. To bring you the lowdown on what these muscles do, why we need to take care of them and how to do that (no sweat, I promise) 23W partnered with the epic team at Northside Physio. 

Sit back, relax and enjoy this awesome collaboration! Although…after listening to the wise words from Physiotherapist Hayley, you might want to stand up and walk around instead!
