| | | hip flexor rehab Hi everyone,
I was training for a cross country race in 4 weeks time, and then i strained my hip flexor the other day in training when i didn't warm up properly. Now i have a 3 week lay off. I'm determined to try and race if i can, but it's looking unlikely. I really need to somehow keep up my aerobic fitness, but am finding the alternatives to running that i have tried, e.g. cycling, pretty painfuil, and thats not going to do any good. If anyone has any suggestions i'd be really grateful.
Thanks

| | | Hip flexors are a different sort of this basically because you use them for nearly every form of cardio. The only forms of cardio that I can think of that wont aggravate it more is a hand ergometer and some types of swimming.
The best thing you can do for a small temporomental injury like this is to rest it and do everything your physiotherapist says! |

| | | I think hes mainly having problems with flexor pain when squatting (not 100%) I dont think he has a torn or elongated hip flexor. |

| | | yeah, my hip flexor pain is anterior femural glide (google it if you don't know) it's not the hip flexor itself there's something wrong with, that's just where I feel the pain. |

| | | you could try swimming using a float under your feet, that way you wont use your lower limb.. |
