How to Release The Psoas

If the psoas is tight, then it could create pain in the lower back and tightness in the hips.

To locate this muscle, start by moving from the belly button outwards and down about 1-2 inches. From here, you can gently press into the stomach, making sure you are not tensing or holding your breath. You can use your fingers to start and then move into a small ball with a yoga block.

As you gently press down, the guts will move out of the way and if you keep your knees bent then the abs will also loosen up.

What you’re expecting to feel is most likely some tender areas or even pain. If you believe you are on the muscle, then you can check by lifting the leg up which will make the muscle pop up below the fingers.

Once you’re on the muscle, you can either hold static pressure, perform micro movements, or a pin and stretch for 30 seconds up to one minute.
