A creative way to stretch the psoas muscle! Use extra padding under the hips for a bit more comfort. Remember to only work with exercises that match your ability. If this is too challenging I have a variety of levels and modifications on my page 🙏 #yogatutorial #hipflexors #psoasstretch | Abi Mills Yoga

Your Psoas is a deep muscle that spans from your lower back to the front of your hip. ⠀ It’s a muscle responsible for hip flexion (bringing your leg in toward you) and also plays a role in diaphragmatic breathing and core function. ⠀ If you sit a lot or suffer from lower back pain, this Psoas release technique can be really helpful. ⠀ I’m using the @tuneupfitness Corgeous Ball to work on breathing with the ball under my belly. ⠀ 🫁 Inhale to press your belly TOWARD the ball, exhale to relax arou

Do this for happy psoas and hip flexors! Have you ever tried this hip mobility work at the wall? The easy more “hip opening” version would be to let your foot move with your leg. I say “opening” because on the outside it looks like you have a lot of flexibility as your knee moves further from the body. But what helped it do that wasn’t your hip joint flexibility but other parts allowing more movement. So in this variation we restrict the movement of the foot, and not let the pelvis move either.

A flexible and healthy psoas muscle helps reduce unnecessary tension and compression on the lower back, improving both posture and movement efficiency. Hold these 2 stretches for 10 to 15 seconds and repeat up to 3x! FOLLOW to be well! #backpain | Moore Wellness
