🩷 DO YOU HAVE LOWER BACK OR HIP PAIN?
Have you ever wondered whether your psoas could be contributing to the way your lower back or hips feel?
The psoas is a deep muscle that connects the lumbar spine to the upper part of the femur. It plays an important role in how your spine, pelvis and hips work together.
🧠 WHAT DOES THE PSOAS DO?
The psoas contributes to:
🔹 Hip flexion — lifting your leg towards your body
🔹 Movement and stability of the lumbar spine and pelvis
🔹 Coordinating movement between your trunk and hips
🔹 Postural control during activities such as walking, running and squatting
🤔 WHY CAN IT BECOME A PROBLEM?
Your psoas is involved in many everyday movements — and prolonged sitting, repetitive activities, changes in training load or altered movement patterns can all influence how the surrounding muscles and joints function
And because the body is connected, lower-back or hip discomfort isn't always caused by one muscle alone.
That’s why simply trying to “stretch the psoas” isn't necessarily the answer.
Instead, we need to look at the whole movement system — your mobility, strength, posture, breathing, control and how your body is moving as a whole.
🌸 YOUR BODY IS CONNECTED.
If you're experiencing ongoing lower-back or hip discomfort, don't just keep pushing through it.
