Now that you have finished your initial body rolling, gently draw your knees to your chest, holding them together or slightly apart, whichever is comfortable, as best you can. Hold for a count of 30. Now, gently rock back and forth on your back. Do not roll over to your side like you did in the first warm up exercise. This movement is done on a flat back. Do this 6-10 times, more if  you like.  In a second variation, hold your knees and mimic a walking motion while you are doing the gentle rock described above with your head slightly elevated or flat. Your knees can be slightly apart or wide as is comfortable for you. You’ll feel this massage in your upper and middle back as well as the lower back  while warming up the hip flexors.

Hip Flexor & Psoas

2013/05/27 12:39 PM / 4 Comments on Hip Flexor & Psoas


SANDDUNE’s™ unique action causes you to shift your weight to one foot and bend the opposite knee. As your foot sinks into the soft surface and then rebounds, it encourages the deep abdominal muscles to actually lift the leg and use the hip flexors properly. It wakes up the Psoas muscle which attaches your inner thigh to the lumbar vertebrae.

The action of shifting your weight fully allows the Psoas muscles to lengthen and then contract with each step. This improved movement of the pelvis flows up the spine, engaging the muscles of the back and shoulders and creating active movement all the way up your torso to your neck and head. This is especially beneficial for athletes (IE…golfers or jockeys) who utilize their shoulders and back muscles in a sport where their lower body may stationary or locked in position for periods of time.
