Your TFL and IT Band may be small — but they’re the unsung heroes behind your hip and knee stability. If they’re weak, your body starts to compensate — and that’s when pain creeps in: hip tightness, outer thigh strain, even knee or lower back discomfort. Here’s why you should train them 👇 ✅ They stabilize your pelvis and knees in every step ✅ They protect your lower back from unnecessary strain ✅ They improve your hip control and posture ✅ They make every movement — from walking to squatting —

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
