how to stretch hip flexors?

[PsiCop]

is there a way to strech the hip flexor muscles? I'm working on my sidekick and i noticed that muscle on the side of your butt hurts if u hold it there too long. is there a way to stretch it?

If you lie on your back and bring your leg across the body. Bend the knee, and hod the knee in the hand on the other side. Gently pull down. I think that's the muscle you're talking about.

That's not your hip flexor - it's your hip abductor- and booksies stretch will stretch it.

Hey it can't hurt to stretch all of the muscles of the hip joint! (http://www.hksdb.org.hk/function/triathlon/stretch4.htm)

... (key words: "can't hurt" :) )

Hey, I made a discovery! If you breathe out during the stretch, you can go further! If you pull a little back to breathe in, then resume the exhalation and stretch maybe, like I've started doing? Is this any good?
