I enjoy your blog, it's a handy resource. In your June 2009 post 'Enter the psoas', you advocate performing the hip flexor stretch as part of a combo exercise; standing and clenching fists and glutes immediately following the stretch. Do you still advocate combining the two? Would there be some cases where you'd recommend just the stretch, and the combo other times? Thanks.
Mitch, I still like the combo. I have pt's and athletes do the combo when thats all they are going to do. This post, they will get the glute activity from the GM. If you were just going to stretch the psoas, I would do the combo.
