Must try this #Repost @andreasi_friskvard ・・・ HOW TO GET A FULL PSOAS STRETCH 🇸🇪#höftböjare . The psoas is the most famous of the hip flexors. It attaches from the front/side of the spine and merges with the iliacus to insert onto the femur. . We know it as a hip flexor but it also does some 🔃spinal rotation and ↘️lateral bending. And due to it being one of the deepest muscles of the core, tightness can have a direct impact on joint mechanics. . I don't think the psoas is as evil is as we're led to believe and not everyone needs to stretch it. But there are 2 scenarios where I find psoas stretching to be very beneficial.👍 . 🔹️You lack hip extension mobility. (You can test this for sure with a Thomas test) . 🔹️You get a pinch in your lower back when you bend backwards. . If either of those are you, this is the best way to get a full psoas stretch. Make sure to keep the glute tight throughout the movement and reach to the ceiling. The psoas can add a compressive force to the spine so reaching can help you get a sense of elongation which feels amazing for your back.😃 . Tag a friend with tight hip flexors and share the wealth! @andreasi_friskvard @dr.jacob.harden #andreasidrottsmassage #andreasifriskvård #ischias10serie #skadebehandling #idrottsmassage #idrottsmedicin #idrottsskador #rehab #prehab #diagnostik #manuellmedicin #manuellterapi #mobilisering #lymfmassage #koppning #kinesiskkoppning #bindvävsmassage #förebyggande #behandling #massageterapeut #idrottsmassör #fysioterapeut #prestation #kroppshållning #fitness #personligtränare #bodybuildning #styrketräning #stockholm
