A member asked:
Can extreme tight shortend psoas muscle cause you to lose rotation in your waist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The psoas muscle is a "hip flexor", meaning it helps you lift your knee up toward your chest. But because of its location along your spine and connecting to your pelvis, it can cause issues with back mobility when tight or in spasm.
