See Shirley Sarhmann's work on muscle imbalance. The rectus femoris
can become dominant over psoas as the principle hip flexor, and
beacuase of its angle of pull cuases some anterior translation of the
femoral head. This can cause a pinching of the anterior hip capsule
hence pain.Jenny McConnell's inhibition taping works well to decrease
RF's activity and hence correct the alignment. Further work on
correcting your muscle imbalance is a vital follow-up. See your local
physio with this interest.
hope this helps.
