Is here merely to help you understand your hip pain better, learn a little bit about the anatomy of your hip flexors and find the best sleep positions for hip pain so you can rest easy.Although there are quite a few relatively common reasons for hip pain, the one I want to focus on today is overly tight iliopsoas muscles (also known as your hip flexor muscles).Tight iliopsoas muscles are a frequently overlooked factor when it comes to hip pain, but this tightness is also one of the most prevalent reasons so many people have persistent pain in their hip - sometimes spreading to their back, legs, knees and further downward. How tight hip flexor muscles cause hip painYour hip flexor muscles are one of the most used muscles in your body. During the majority of your daily activities - including sitting, walking, stepping up, lunging, squatting, kicking, running, and anything else that involves leg or trunk movement - these muscles are engaged.The over-engagement of the iliopsoas muscles can eventually lead them to tighten.The two separate muscles that make up the hip flexors are the iliacus and the psoas muscles. The iliacus and psoas overlap and connect, the psoas starting at your low-mid spine, and the iliacus starting inside your pelvic bone, and both inserting at the top of your thigh bone. These muscles go diagonally through your core and have the very important job of connecting your upper and lower body.If the iliacus and psoas muscles are allowed to get too tight, they begin to pull on the structures around them. The excessive tension in the iliopsoas can pull your hip out of alignment and eventually cause pain in your hip or lower back.The iliopsoas muscles and other surrounding pelvic muscles have the ability to create a domino effect. If one of the muscles is too tight, or a bone is misaligned, it will impact the surrounding areas. Tight iliopsoas muscles can interfere with your other muscles, interfere with your posture (all the way down your feet!), and keep creating more and more issues if the tension continues.That’s a pretty big effect from such small muscles!So now that you have a better understanding of your hip structure, and know at least one possible source of your hip pain, it’s time to learn how to manage that pain in the evening so you can actually relax.Here are the best sleeping

Jump to:What Runners Should Know About Diaphragmatic BreathingHow to Test for Diaphragmatic BreathingDiaphragm Exercises and Other Ways to Work Your Breathing MusclesYou know breathing is always critical. Your body’s cells need oxygen to function, and you need to release carbon dioxide, a waste gas, through exhalation. When you run (or participate in any other type of heart-pumping activity), your body’s demand for oxygen increases, as does carbon dioxide production. In turn, you breathe more rapidly. The question is, though: Are you breathing efficiently? The answer to that depends on whether or not you’re fully using your diaphragm, a key breathing muscle. Like any muscle of the body, you need to work your diaphragm so it functions well. With that said, this guide to the body’s most important breathing muscle offers diaphragm exercises to help with that efficiency, including how to breathe deeply. What Runners Should Know About Diaphragmatic BreathingOne of the best diaphragm exercises is pretty straightforward: diaphragmatic breathing, which means you’re really focusing on engaging your diaphragm during respiration.When explaining proper breathing mechanics, Belisa Vranich, Psy.D., clinical psychologist, fitness expert, and author of Breathing for Warriors, starts by differentiating between primary and auxiliary breathing muscles. Located below the lungs, the diaphragm, a primary breathing muscle, is designed to power your respiration. “The diaphragm is a skirt steak the size of a frisbee that is in the very middle of your body. When it flattens [during inhalation], it actually expands your entire middle,” Vranich tells Runner’s World. The external intercostals, which are also considered primary breathing muscles, help expand the chest and make room for the lungs by pushing the ribs open. When you’re breathing diaphragmatically (Vranich also refers to it as “horizontal” breathing), your diaphragm and external intercostals are engaged. Based on Vranich’s experience working with runners ranging from recreational road racers and competitive athletes to firefighters and Navy Seals, most of us are breathing “vertically,” not horizontally. “They’re breathing using auxiliary muscles,” she says, referring to muscles in the chest, shoulders, and neck that are designed to assist the primary respiratory muscles, not replace them. As a result, you get shallower breaths that, if you think about oxygen as a finite resource, are more “costly.” Think of your midsection like a balloon when breathing diaphragmatically: You want to expand the whole sphere. Getting the rib cage and upper abdomen to expand helps inflate the balloon.When running, you want the oxygen you inhale to go to your exercising muscles, like the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves. But the muscles used to simply breathe during exercise require oxygen too, explains Fabio Comana, M.A., M.S., faculty instructor of exercise physiology within the School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences at San Diego State University. “If you breathe diaphragmatically, just using the diaphragm and the external intercostals, your cost of breath is minimal,” he says. But if you recruit more of the secondary breathing muscles, as you would with thoracic breathing (or chest breathing), research shows that the price changes. “Now, there are
