The psoas muscle is more than just a hip flexor—it plays a key role in movement, posture, and even stress responses. Often called the "fight or flight muscle," it helps prepare the body for action, but chronic tension in the psoas may contribute to discomfort, restricted breathing, and a sense of being "stuck." In this video, we'll explore: ✅ The psoas muscle's function and how it connects the spine to the legs ✅ Its role in stress responses—including fight, flight, and freeze ✅ Why mindful movement is often better than aggressive stretching ✅ How chronic tension can impact posture, back pain, and overall well-being The science is still evolving, but understanding the psoas might offer helpful insights into movement and stress management. Whether you're an athlete, a movement coach, or just curious about your body, this video will give you a fresh perspective. 🎥 Watch now and explore how your body responds to stress! 🔹 Subscribe for more anatomy-based movement insights 🔹 Like & Share if you found this helpful 🔹 Need a custom animation?
