Today I noticed that when I sit like this:
My left leg goes comfortably all the way down, but my right leg won't. It won't go down past 45 degrees unless stretched. Does this mean that the right hip flexors are tight and can this cause tight hamstring and calf muscles?
What stretches should I be working on to release this? I've tried basic hamstring stretches without success.
My guess is that the asymmetry you are observing has nothing to do with tightness or lack of stretching. My guess is that the shape of your pelvis and/or your femoral head is asymmetric. I've seen the same thing, but much worst, in a lady client of mine. She has had two hip replacements, and one of the replacements had to be done twice (I guess they screwed up the first one). When they repeat a hip replacement, they have to remove a lot more of your own bone. As a result, her two hips are very asymmetric, and one of her knees won't go down when she crosses legs.
