Hey Mobies,
Today’s mission is all about reinforcing the idea that you NEED full range of motion in ALL of your joints. Period. Tight hips? You are going to pay an upstream toll. Here’s to better hip compression and easier psoasibility.

Timely seeing as I’ve just started cycling to Uni. If I’m feeling like I’m putting pressure on my internal organs (bladder, bowels) am I doing it wrong? I don’t feel like I’m hitting the muscles
OK basic anatomy question. Googling doesn’t solve this for me. Does your psoas pass in front of our behind your intestines, organs, etc. right next to your belly button?
Nick, behind your organs. Don’t do this on a full stomach or when you potentially have to urinate haha.
Awesome. Have some nasty psoas bits that are throwing everything off. Thanks.
Just found MobilityWOD and am loving it. Gave this a go before squatting today and my ROM was so much better. THANKS!
How carefull do i have to be when am trying to unglue my psoas?
I’m having a hard time getting it, but i still have kne, groin and back problem.
Damnyou psoas!
Ok so to help with access, try this. Say you’re working the right side, lift the right knee up so bottom of foot is on ground. place ball next too umbilicus (belly button, aka, your inney!) Take a deep breath in from your gut and then exhale FULLY from your gut, as you exhale you push that ball down and in at an angle for your spine, breathing out fully will really help you seat that ball/hand/finger/object into your psoas, then drop the leg, you’ll know where you are there…… good luck..
