Description: Hip/IT Band Stretches

This stretching routine targets the muscles of the hip and the IT band. It can be performed on its own, before a leg workout or as a cool-down after your workout.

Cross the leg to be stretched in front of the other leg. Then, reach overhead and lean away from this leg until a stretch is felt along the side of the trunk and leg.

IT Band Stretch

In a kneeling position, tighten your glutes on the side where the knee is touching the ground. Tighten your abs as well and then lift your arm overhead and gently shift forward until you feel a stretch at the front of the hip.

Hip Flexor Stretch

Cross one leg over the other and then use your arms to pull the legs toward your chest until a stretch is felt in the buttock region.

Piriformis/Glute Stretch

Using the weight of your other leg, allow your hip to rotate and your knee to drop toward the ground. 

Hold at this end position and then repeat on the other side.

Hip Internal Rotation

Place the leg to be stretched in front of your body as shown in the video. Then, gently lean forward until a stretch is felt in the buttock region.

I have not tried yet but when I went to the physio he made me do 3 of those exercises and they were helpful for my shoulder. Therefore, I think the other exercises you posted are useful as well
