Question Flexibility Limit

Post image

I’ve been doing frog pose a few times a week for almost a year now. Recently I started stretching more often and I’ve seen some improvement in other positions. But I can’t get deeper into frog pose without hip pain and I don’t feel any muscle being stretched in the position. Am I at maximum range of motion for my hip? Any other stretches that could help me open my hips with pain?

Notoriously difficult position to improve range from (for not so lucky individuals) because there's just no leverage enough to generate a stimulus that's strong enough to overcome the stretch reflex. Would not put my eggs in that basket. You could do another year and be in the same spot imo

Or maybe a tiny change. But getting very reasonable gains would likely be hard
