psoas
Published: Tue, 01/17/23
You might be surprised to learn that your troubles could be stemming from your hip flexors, specifically the psoas muscle.
Your psoas muscle is the longest in your body, connecting your upper and lower halves. It's also responsible for some key functions, including stabilization during movement, supporting your internal organs, and allowing you to bend and reach. Because it's so important, when the psoas becomes tight or weak, it can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. But there are some easy exercises you can do to alleviate the symptoms.
If you're experiencing any of the following issues, it might be time to start stretching out your hip flexors:
- Low back pain
- Hip pain
- Stiffness
- Pain while walking or moving
- Trouble sleeping
- Shortness of breath
By undoing the damage and helping your body heal itself, you can get rid of all this pain and finally start living a comfortable life again. Check out these tips on how to go from "sore" to "supple."
