✨ Muscle of the Week: Iliopsoas ✨
This week we’re focusing on the Iliopsoas —a deep hip flexor muscle made up of the psoas major and iliacus. It connects your lower spine and pelvis to your upper thigh and plays a major role in lifting your legs, stabilizing your core, and supporting everyday movements. When this muscle becomes too tight, it can contribute to restricted hip extension and discomfort around the hips or lower back.
💪🏽 Who can benefit from this stretch?
✅ Desk workers who spend long hours sitting
✅ Runners, walkers & cyclists
✅ Weightlifters and gym-goers
✅ Golfers and other rotational athletes
✅ Anyone experiencing tight hip flexors or limited hip mobility
✅ Those looking to improve posture and lower-body movement
💛 Benefits of stretching the Iliopsoas:
• Improves hip flexibility and range of motion
• Helps reduce tightness in the front of the hips
• Supports comfortable hip extension and stride length
• Promotes better mobility during walking, running, and exercise
• Supports healthy posture and pelvic movement
• Helps you move more freely during everyday activities
Sitting for extended periods can keep your hip flexors in a shortened position. Giving your iliopsoas some attention can help improve hip mobility and make everyday movements feel more comfortable! 🙌🏽
🤍 Ask for the Iliopsoas stretch during your next session and experience the benefits for yourself!
