The Society works closely with allied professional bodies to advise on standards of care for patients and welcomes hip specialty surgeons, at all career stages, to our membership, including trainees, SAS grades and consultants. Since the iliopsoas runs diagonally through the body, connecting the lower spine, the pelvic bones and the top of the femur, it has the important job of connecting the upper body to the lower body.If you want a small habit that creates a big impact for your body or your clients, start paying attention to this essential core muscle. I'll do this for about 5-10 minutes total—30 seconds of stretching followed by a minute break, then back to stretching. Now that you’ve released your iliacus, the next step is to gently strengthen the muscles in the front of the hip.

Koth continues: “But the iliacus attaches to the pelvis and then attaches on the femur, and because it’s a short muscle and because it’s so super close to the joint itself it’s not designed to be a mover [like the psoas].This stiffening can also limit hip mobility and affect a number of different movements and exercises.
