Psoas Stretch
| Start by placing the leg of
the side you wish to stretch behind as shown above. In this case the left.
| Next, move your body forward
so that you feel a stretch in the front of this hip.
| Make sure you don't increase
the curve in your back as you come forward (the Psoas connects the back with the front of
the hip). Sometimes it helps to tighten the stomach muscles as you come
forward. This will prevent too much arching of the back.
| Hold for 30-60 seconds and
perform twice a day or when you have back pain.
