My hips were tight. I started to stretch them a few weeks ago. They became tighter. It didn't make sense. I spent a few hour reading up on stretching. It turns out that muscles instinctively contract to (among other reasons) protect injuries to tendons and ligaments.
Too much stretching (duration and/or depth) caused injuries to my ligaments and/or tendons, which caused tighter muscles.
