Many people may not have heard of the iliopsoas muscle until now. In fact, this part is a very important part of our body, but because it is invisible and intangible, many people ignore its existence. Next, let’s take a look at how to relax the iliopsoas muscle if it is too tight?
1. Disadvantages of too tight iliopsoas muscle
If the iliopsoas muscle is in a state of tension for a long time, it will be very detrimental to the body. However, when the iliopsoas muscle is tense, it will cause our pelvis to tilt forward, leading to visceral sagging. Many people have bulging lower abdomen, thinking that they have eaten too much. In fact, sometimes it is not because of a small belly. It may also be because the iliopsoas muscles are too tight, causing the internal organs to sag and make the lower abdomen bulge. After the lower abdomen is bulging, if you do some backbending movements, it will cause pressure and damage to the spine, and it is also very harmful to the body. Therefore, everyone must change the state of their spine to make the internal organs normal and no longer sag.
2. Snake stretch method
This action can improve visceral sagging, which is a state where the iliopsoas muscle is too tight. You need to support both hands on the floor, and then support the upper body with our elbows. During this period, it is also very important that the hip joint does not leave the ground, and everyone needs to maintain it for five seconds without moving. After that, you can relax when you return to the original position. During the exercise, if you feel pain in your legs and waist, It shows that everyone is not doing it particularly well, because this action is actually to relax and stretch our back and abdominal muscles, so it is not really meant to exercise these two parts.
3. Feiyan method
This action requires everyone to lie prone first, and at this time raise their limbs, hold it for about five seconds and then relax. During the exercise, if your legs feel numb, then you have to stop. The purpose of doing these exercises is to relax the iliopsoas muscles, so it is to strengthen the waist. Then, if the legs are numb, they will become numb in the future. Stop exercising first, and then resume the exercise after taking a certain amount of rest.
If the iliopsoas muscle is too tight, it can easily cause a lot of injuries and is very harmful to the body. Therefore, if you find that the iliopsoas muscle is too tight, you must relax it.
