Affecting the spine and more

What does the psoas do?

The psoas major is one of the main muscles involved in:

  • Walking and running — it helps lift the thigh toward the body.
  • Hip flexion — bringing your knee upwards, such as climbing stairs or getting into a car.
  • Stabilising the spine — it helps maintain the relationship between your lumbar spine and pelvis.
  • Posture — it contributes to keeping the trunk upright when standing.
  • Moving from lying to sitting — it works with other muscles when you sit up.
  • Rotating and positioning the hip — particularly when the hip is flexed.

There are actually three related muscles: the psoas major, psoas minor (which is absent in some people), and iliacus. Together, the psoas major and iliacus are commonly called the iliopsoas.

In balance

And there’s an interesting deeper aspect…

Because the psoas lies so deep in the body, surrounding the lumbar spine and close to the diaphragm, it can become involved in breathing, posture and the body’s response to stress. When we’re frightened or under sudden stress, muscles including the psoas can contract as part of the body’s protective movement response.

You’ll sometimes hear the psoas called the “muscle of the soul” or “muscle of fight-or-flight.” Those are holistic/therapeutic descriptions rather than anatomical terms, but they reflect the fascinating relationship between this deep muscle, posture, movement and the nervous system.
