How to Fix a Tight Psoas Muscle in 30 SECONDS



Dr. Rowe shows how to quickly get rid of psoas muscle and hip flexor pain.

A tight psoas muscle is a big overlooked cause of lower back pain. Additionally, it may cause pain in the front of the leg, groin, and hip area.

Since it’s such a deep muscle, massage is not very effective at releasing tightness or offering relief. Instead, the best method is to focus on activating (loosening) the muscle through mobility exercises and then strengthening the muscle (to prevent issues later on).

This video will be broken up into two separate parts to focus on this. Go through both parts to get the best results, and use what works best for you.

As a bonus, all of these iliopsoas muscle and hip flexor stretching exercises can be done at home, require no special equipment, and may give quick pain relief… even in as little as 30 seconds!

Watch now and instantly fix a tight psoas at home!

  1. Dr Rowe, this clip was fantastic. I suspect I've had tight illiopsoas for a long time. Every now and then I have lower back pain and I lose the curvature of my spine. No amount of massage reached anything. So it was a deep muscle. Your stretches, particularly the first one really targets the area. I feel its very tight, so this stretch helps. Thanks so much…. 🌈 Stephen.

  2. This is great! I like all the options. Can you address what do do about consistently) getting a cramp in the back during hip Raises? My front thigh muscles are very tight if that is why? I imagine my psoas muscle is too but I’m having trouble identifying engagement. I’m just getting back to stretching after sitting through a long illness. Will the cramp/other tight muscles work ithemselves out if I keep going or do you prefer a pre-step?

  3. First time I've ever heard of a soreass muscle, but I've got a few. I've been doing back exercises for about three weeks and still cannot get all the pain out of my saddle ridge and those wide muscles that go up either side of the spine. I will try this. Thanks.

  4. I also like seated on straight back chair sideways with knee down toward floor, thigh is kept in vertical position and the medial thigh surface snug against front edge of chair. While carefully holding chair back and its front edge with the other hand, bend torso backwards. Inhale before starting backwards slowly and slowly exhale during that movement. Be sure to maintain focus on your stability and security by the use of your hands. Chris Foster

  5. I tried to do the exercise against the wall and it seems only one knee was touching and the other was up higher. When making them both touch the wall, I felt the muscle strain. Could bad posture cause this?? Not sure if I just got one stumpy leg 😂

  6. My psoas been hurting for a while now & it's been affecting the depth of my squats. Thankfully I found this video.

  7. Im doing the exercises but the pain is increasing for the first 2 days. Should i go on (to make the tight psoas longer) or should i quit doing it?

  8. i subscribed because of this video. i think maybe this is whats wrong with me. not an easy issue to pin point for sure. the red areas on the diagram are right where my issues are.

  9. I was training with a heavy sandbag and my psoas/hips went funny. I was in so much discomfort…couldn't lean backwards or straighten my upper body out. The Psoas cobra straightened me out right away. Wow ! I did alot of other stretching the day before. But the cobra, especially with the knee movement sorted me out immediately. To the point where it made me giddy. Thanks mate. Amazing

  10. Is it possible for the adductors to be affected when you have a problem with psoas? Cause I'm told I have a psoas problem but feel pain in the adductor area and all the way to the knee sometimes.

  11. Hi Dr. Rowe, I'm usually pretty active, but I fell Sunday on my knee, on cement.
    I caught myself on the door in front of me.
    I waited 3 days and went to get a massage, the therapist mentioned she saw a shift in my hip on the l, side.
    And I felt it also.
    My question is would an adj with a chiropractor line it back up?

  12. Thank you, I will be trying these exercises! I have tight a psoas muscle on the right side that started giving me trouble after I started running more (trying to train for a 1/2 marathon). What are your thoughts on products like the "Hip Hook". It's expensive but if it works I would try it!
