The stretch for hip flexors and side/front body shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egm3-ZlWUeY I have found helpful. He also has some other interesting videos on his YouTube channel.
I hope you find something that helps you! |

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Big-Red-C...A&gclsrc=aw.ds We moved to a new library building, where much of the shelving was extremely low (like practically at floor level, who thought of that?!), including the area where we shelved patron requests. This stool saved my life while I was pregnant, because my belly just got in the way (bending) and affected my balance (squatting). I mean, I could get down okay, but getting back up got challenging towards the end there! Anyway, point being, these stools are super useful in a library setting for all sorts of staff, and I'd talk to your manager about them.

Here is one of my favorites, can be done on the foam roller, a bolster, or a yoga block which would be a bit less intense. I often hold it for a few minutes http://youtu.be/McDwukzhCfs

I should have posted my problem here sooner! Yesterday and this morning I've done the hip flexor stretches, especially the front lunge, reach to the side, and unbelievably the pain is virtually gone!
I ordered the foam roller and a few DVDs from Mary's sale at Toalfitnessdvds: Rejuvenation with Kathy Smith Stretch and Flex, The Method Pilates Dynamic Firming And Flexing, and Trudie Styler's Cardio Dance Flow. Anyone familiar with these? |
