Hi all,
I seem to have an ongoing problem with really tight hip flexors after every run. Whilst running I get a very slight feeling on the outside of my knee but it comes and goes during the run. The next day my whole hip area is very tight and on doing the hip flexor stretches I can really feel the tightness. Does anybody have any ideas on what is causing this and remedies besides continuous stretching or any exceptional stretches for this area. I feel I am an injury waiting to happen. This only occurs on my right side. I saw a physio a few months back who said I had a torsion of the hip joint but didn't advice me any further.
Any views would be appreciated.

I've changed shoes and things are getting better and I hope she's right.
Worth going to get your gait assesed.

First physion visit last and it turns out I have one leg longer than the other causing compression in the socket of the hip and stressing the supporting muscles. Apparently its really easy to cure.
He pulled my leg out tp release pressure on the hip socket and then gave me accupuncture. I go back next week to have orthotics fitted to the shoe of my shorter leg to even up my stride and stop the pounding of my right leg.
I'd say you need to see another physio who will be a little more pro active.
I hope, Great North run looming up and no running for the last month!!!
