The psoas is often cast
The psoas is often cast as a problem-muscle, contributing to squat depth problems (wrong), hip pain (possible) and poor posture (unlikely) and more, at which point it's banished to the corner of the gym for a regular dose of static stretching.
But the psoas is much more than a muscle that requires just (ineffective) stretching methods - it has to be activated, lengthened, strengthened and integrated into functional movement patterns just like EVERY OTHER MUSCLE IN YOUR BODY.
So in this week's mobility ↔️ strength workouts, we're going to target the psoas to get it doing what it's supposed to do, which includes flexion of the hip, contributing to lumbar spine stability and helping with hip joint centration.
4 Psoas Exercises for Activation, Mobility & Function (STOP STRETCHING!)
1. Seated Psoas Activation [02:16]
2. Supine Leg Slide → Hip Bridge [06:26]
3. Psoas Sweeps [11:08]
4. Supine Hip PNF [17:10]
You probably have no idea what most of these exercises are and that's a good thing because you know you'll be working something new, which is good for your body AND brain!

If you're new to my channel, we're all about restoring function via improved mobility, strength and movement control, with the goal of helping you get back to and keep doing the active things you love.
If you're dealing with a particular issue, search the YouTube channel with a keyword e.g. shoulder impingement, low back pain, knee pain, tennis elbow, hunchback, tight hips or whatever it is you want to fix and you'll likely find exercises you can start using right away for your specific problem.
Since you might not be able to do your workouts or sports because you're stuck inside, now is the perfect opportunity to work on little nagging pains or injuries that might have ended up in an injury had you kept training or playing through it (like most people do - me included).
JOIN THE mobility ↔ strength LIVE WORKOUTS
Perfect for those stuck at home like me due to the pandemic i.e. most of the free world because one of the most important things we've lost in this time is human connection, so I've decided to start doing live workouts to replace some of that.
SCHEDULE (Eastern Time i.e. Toronto)
- Tuesdays from 8-830pm
- Fridays from 1-130pm (workout then Q&A if time allows)
We'll be covering topics like this, as well as doing a little "finisher" workout to get the heart rate up, blood pumping and integrate what you just learned.
Join and you might discover muscles that you didn't know you had, then you'll learn to use them to develop control through your full range of motion, keeping your joints and body strong, stable and healthy.
