Shallow pain at the front of the hip may be a sign of an injury to your hip flexors (the muscles that allow you to lift your thigh). Deep pain at the front or center of the hip.
When tight hip flexors accompany tight hamstrings, releasing your hip flexors to restore a neutral pelvis is the only way to release your hamstrings as well. Why the 3-way hip flexor release works

Pain in the groin, called anterior hip pain, is most often the result of osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, occult fracture, acute synovitis, and septic arthritis; pain on the sides of the hip, called lateral hip pain, is usually caused by bursitis; pain in the buttock, called posterior or gluteal hip pain, which is the least common type of hip ...

The top leg is raised keeping the knee and hip straight; especially effective where there is an anterior pelvic tilt. [11] A tight hip flexor may be stretched by using a kneeling hip flexor stretch that targets the iliopsoas. [citation ...

[8] The involved muscle is stretched (for 30 seconds), repeated three times separated by 30 second to 1 minute rest periods, in sets performed two times daily for six to eight weeks. [ 8 ]
