Hip Pain From Sitting
Sitting doesn't just make your hips tight. It creates structural restrictions and movement patterns that cause pain.
How Sitting Creates Hip Problems
When you sit all day, your hips are in a shortened position. Your hip flexors get tight. Your glutes get weak. Your pelvis tilts. Over time, this creates structural restrictions in your fascia that don't just go away when you stand up.
These restrictions create compensation patterns. Your body adapts to sitting, and those adaptations cause problems when you move. That's why your hips hurt not just when you sit, but when you walk, squat, or do anything else.
Why Stretching Doesn't Solve It
You can stretch your hip flexors all day, but if the restriction is in your fascia, stretching won't solve it. You need structural work to release these restrictions, then movement education to change the patterns.

The Solution
Address the structural restrictions that sitting creates. Release the fascial restrictions. Restore proper hip function. Then build movement patterns that counter the effects of sitting.
