🔥 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.

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
