Hip Flexors: Roller Psoas Stretch

  • Place the roller perpendicular to your spine and lie with your sacrum (the back of your pelvis) — not your spine — on the roller.
  • Pull your left knee toward your chest, keeping your right heel on the ground. You should feel a stretch on the front of your right hip.
  • To increase the stretch, reach your right arm over your head and open your left knee slightly out to the left.
  • Hold for 30 seconds, then switch legs. Repeat as needed.

This is a passive, relaxing stretch that lengthens your psoas, one of the deep hip flexors.
