How does it help? The main role of the psoas muscle is to flex the hips to raise the legs towards the torso. This type of exercise also helps stabilize the spine. These muscles come into play when you move, but they are negatively affected if you sit too long. If these muscles shorten or become tense, they cause pain in the back. These stretches work to lengthen them and strengthen the psoas muscles.
