Your psoas is pulling your pelvis forward 8+ hours a day. Here are 4 moves to undo it.
Sitting is silently reshaping your entire body.
When you spend eight or more hours a day in a chair, your hip flexors, specifically the psoas, shorten and tighten. That pulls the front of your pelvis downward into what’s called anterior pelvic tilt. Your belly pushes forward, your lower back arches hard, and your glutes basically become dormant. They forget how to fire. Meanwhile your hamstrings stiffen up trying to compensate for the glutes that checked out. And your spinal erectors, the muscles that are supposed to keep you upright, weaken because they never get asked to work through a full range of motion while you’re seated.
This reel walks you through four drills that target each link in that chain. A couch stretch to release the psoas, a glute bridge to wake up your posterior chain, a seated Good Morning to strengthen your spinal erectors, and a psoas march to retrain hip flexion with control...
