Stiffening of hips and tightness of the groins can be due to age-related degenerative changes, due to sitting on chairs for long hours, due to participation in certain sporting activities that do not explore the entire range of movement at the hip joint, or just due to inattention to these areas. Often we learn to live with chronic tightness, and these areas are not brought to our notice till pain sets in. However, we need not wait till we are in pain. We can learn to sensitise ourselves to, and to appreciate, the sense of ‘softness’ in the hips and mobility in the hips.
