Psoas Stretch with a Foam Roller for Tight Hips & Low Back Relief
Does it feel almost impossible to stand up straight up after sitting for long periods? Have you been told that a tight psoas may be contributing to your low back pain?
Release pain and stiffness in the hips and low back with this gentle psoas stretch. Using a foam roller for support, you'll be able to comfortably relax into the stretch, making it a great option when you don't have the time or energy for a more active practice — or if traditional hip flexor stretches feel too intense.
Whether you're dealing with stiffness from sitting, recovering after exercise, or simply looking to improve hip mobility, this stretch can help ease low back tension, open the front of the hips, and make everyday movement feel less restricted.
