Compression is useful for so many pilates and non pilates things but there are 300000 ways to train hip flexors and this might not be your first go to if you are just investigating making them stronger, or if your hips feel icky! Posts to come on this. โฃ
โฃ
The reformer carriage (No springs!) adds weight which is both helpful to create greater range of motion with the weight of the carriage yet harder because there is weight in the carriage.โฃ

1. Hands on floorโฃ
2. Add leg weights/weight to carriageโฃ
โฃ
In the gym you could do this using the seat of the rowing machine with hands on floor. The decline transfers more weight to shoulders. โฃ

If you want a good Pilates teaser, tendon stretch on reformer (etc etc) and a happy little life, you need to be training hip flexors!โฃ
