The psoas (sometimes called the iliopsoas) is one of your hip flexor muscles and it gets a lot of attention from people online as it's commonly associated with anterior pelvic tilt (excessive forward tilt to the pelvis) and tight low back muscles. It's also one of the most misunderstood muscles in the entire body.

In today's video I show you a self assessment / test you can do to your hip flexors to see if you need to stretch them or strengthen them. It's very important you do this test so you know what kind of work your psoas needs specifically.
