Hip Flexor Strain

Causes and Risk Factors:

• Sudden movements, like sprinting, kicking, or changing direction quickly
• Overuse from sports or exercise, especially without proper warm-up
• Weak or tight hip muscles
• Poor posture or muscle imbalances, putting extra stress on the hip
• Previous hip injuries, increasing the risk of re-injury
