TFL (tensor fascia latae) STRETCH Today’s MOVEMENT MINUTE focuses on STRETCHING YOUR TFL. Tightness in the TFL is SUPER SUPER common for MS GYMMERS because MS often forces you to SIT MORE throughout your day. When you sit for extended periods of time, the muscle on the FRONT OF YOUR LATERAL HIP (where your pants pockets are) gets OVER-TIGHT and your Gluteal muscles get super stretched and weak. This will GREATLY impact your ability to stand, balance, and walk well. A tight TFL can also cause low

Stretching the TFL Muscle 🦵The TFL (Tensor Fasciae Latae) is a small yet important muscle located at the side of your upper leg. It plays a key role in stabilizing your hip and knee, linking to the iliotibial band that runs down the side of your thigh. 💪Stretching the TFL can help alleviate tightness, reduce hip discomfort, and improve overall mobility. Keeping this muscle flexible is essential for maintaining proper movement patterns and preventing injury. #TFLStretch #HipMobility #InjuryPrev

Stretching the TFL Muscle 🦵The Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) is a small but important muscle located on the outer side of your upper thigh. It helps stabilize both the hip and knee by connecting to the iliotibial (IT) band, which runs down the side of your leg. 💪Keeping the TFL flexible through regular stretching can ease tightness, reduce hip and outer thigh discomfort, and enhance mobility. A supple TFL supports healthy movement patterns and helps prevent overuse injuries. #TFLStretch #HipMobil

🔥 Meet the TFL: Small Muscle, Big Opinions The tensor fasciae latae (TFL) is a hip flexor, abductor, and internal rotator — but when glutes or psoas don’t show up, the TFL takes over. Overused TFL = tight hips, cranky knees, and “hip flexor pain” that’s not really your hip flexor. 🔥 Hip Flexion Feeling Blocked? Try Posterior Glide ➕ Movement That deep hip “pinch” 👎 during squats or knees-to-chest isn’t always a tight muscle — it’s often joint capsule tension. 🔧 Apply posterior traction on th
