A member asked:

What exercises can i do for a torn hip flexor muscle?

Dr. Thomas Namey answered

Specializes in Rheumatology

The best exercise is: In my opinion, your workout should include cycling with clips or power grips. Cycling is gentle, rhythmic, increases blood flow, aiding in healing. Hip flexors are difficult to heal, so until you improve with cycling, avoid free weights.
