i think this PRO episode is for you: 


the two moves discussed are:
set the femur joint into the back of the socket
floss the hamstrings with distraction to the back

give it a try – first before you mob, test the range of hip flexion with your favorite move- maybe bending over. then do the first mob on both sides. go back to your original test. can you bend over better?

certainly organizing the torso is important, and being able to keep that tight while hinging over, so make sure you work on that as well.

also work on general hip flexion also: hip openers, external and internal rotation.
