If your hip hurts, it’s a clear sign that…

2. Tight Hip Flexors From Sitting Too Much

Sitting shortens the hip flexor muscles.

Over time, tight hip flexors:

• Pull the pelvis forward
• Alter spinal alignment
• Increase pressure on the hip joint

This often causes pain in:

• The front of the hip
• The groin
• The lower back

This is especially common in people who sit for work.

3. Poor Posture and Alignment

Posture affects the hips more than most people realize.

Poor posture can:

• Shift weight unevenly
• Overload one hip
• Change walking mechanics

Common posture-related habits include:

• Leaning on one leg
• Standing with hips pushed forward
• Uneven shoe wear

Over time, these habits stress the hip joint.
