The Psoas Stretch

Teach your patients this stretch after your perform the psoas release. A progression with overpressure is shown as well. The initial stretch should be held at least 30 seconds, for 2-3 reps, 2-3 times/day. The overpressure progression may be performed with a 2-3 second hold at end range. The patient may repeatedly stretch into end range with self generated P/A from the hand under the involved side buttock. This can be performed hourly if the patient is very restricted.
