Did you know your psoas major, a key hip flexor, attaches directly to your lumbar spine? This kneeling stance with hands on hips isn't just a pose; it's a diagnostic tool. By placing your hands on your iliac crests, you can feel for pelvic tilt. Gently tucking your tailbone lengthens those deep hip flexors, relieving lower back tension. 🧘‍♀️ Save this to check your pelvic alignment. #mobility #posture #hipflexors #pelvicalignment #lowbackpainrelief #psoasstretch
