Many people have tight hips, from people who spend several hours a day sitting to regular gym-goers and professional athletes. Some people are more prone to tightness in that area of their body, too. Tight hips may put you at increased risk for injury due to the increased demands on tissues that aren’t moving properly.

ohh ya mmmm-m ..Alrighty then...who told you that? By the way tight hip flexors is not why total hip replacement surgery is done Period. Not a good idea to profess false conditions/accusations that require hip replacement surgery.
I guess anyone with osteoarthritis is not a candidate for PT exercises...Because osteoarthritis is the only reason most hip joint replacement surgery is done. When the soft tissue cushion breaks down in the ball joint and the patient is bone on bone. that's called osteoarthritis. No amount of physical exercises will repair or regrow tissue or bone .
Just wanted to explain that to you and others who read this. I have had both hips replaced due to Osteoarthritis. I have complete mobility and no pain. THR is a great way to maintain mobility as we age.
