I’m finally back into a groove of physio, and building some strength in the psoas area. Sounds daft when it’s so sore it’s tender to touch, to stretch it and workout. But trust me, though it’s tight, it’s actually weak as hell. And it helps massively to work on it. It has been helped with me switching most pharmacy medicine to now legal medical cannabis oil.

One of my favourite ways to stretch it. I hold this for 20 seconds and do 3 reps
20 second hold X 3 reps

I’ve even started to look forward to doing them (who am I?) And I’m sure it can only help for walking and doing yoga. Though not a fan of the Single Leg Hip Bridge, but I also know they work. Do the hip bridge with both legs down at first, once solid form gently lift opposite leg to knee height and hold for 5 seconds X 10reps.

5 second hold X 10 reps

As I dislike the hip bridges the most, I try to get them done first, so then I can settle deeply into a stretch afterwards. Though I do open the hips with some lizard lunges first to warm hips up.

Disclaimer, PLEASE get clearance to do this before you try it. I was cleared by consultant and physio. 20 second hold X 3 reps
This is the tightest stretch, so most needed. I like to end on this one. 20 second hold X 3 reps

I’ve been recommended to try some Pilates as well so I’m going to be looking for some Pilate videos I can do off YouTube. In the meantime, I’m back doing 30 days of yoga with adriene as well, as I love the whole mind body and spirit aspect of yoga. Helps me feel grounded and cleansed.
