7 Amazing Stretches To Release The Psoas Muscle (FULL ROUTINE!)

These stretches will release the Iliopsoas muscle group as well as the quads and adductors to help you unlock your hips, and get relief from hip pain and lower back tension.
The Psoas major is the main hip flexor of the thigh. We use it a lot daily.
These amazing stretches will help you release the Psoas. I recommend you do these stretches after you foam roll your hips.
Hold each stretch for 10-20 seconds.
Psoas Release Stretches breakdown:
1- Bridge Heels In (Psoas, rectus femoris)
2 - Quadriceps Stretch (rectus femoris)
3 - Camel Pose (Psoas, quads)
4 - Lunge Stretch (Psoas, quads)
5 - Wall Hip Stretch (Quads, Psoas)
6 - Cobra (Psoas, rectus femoris, abdominals)
7 - Sumo Squat Stretch (Adductors)

Thank you for making these videos. I sit most of the day and my lower back is super tight. I tried some of these and they feel good. I will continue these stretches and hopefully it will help with my back issues. The bridge stretch feels especially good.
