A tight psoas muscle is one of the most common complaints among those with back and hip pain.

However, a tight psoas muscle can be hard to address because of the conflicting information you see out there. Some say to stretch it, while other say to strengthen it.

But the truth is that these approaches miss one crucial component. And without it, you'll never release a tight psoas muscle.

That little-known cause of a tight psoas muscle is altered hip biomechanics. And it has little to do with strength, mobility, and flexibility. Instead, it has to do with coordinating your psoas muscle correctly during hip movement.

In this video we:

1. Reveal the root cause of a tight psoas muscle
2. Explain how to improve psoas tightness without psoas release techniques
3. Give a sample program you can use to retrain your psoas muscle to get rid of tightness for good
