If you feel you are very tight, it is recommended you perform a hip stretch 2-3 times per day, holding the stretch for 30 seconds, or as needed. You can stretch multiple times per day with out causing any additional problems. There are two hip stretches you can try: kneeling hip stretch and standing hip stretch.
