2. Allow your hips to move to around 90 degrees flexion, and your knees to bend at 90 degrees as well.
3. From this position, place a foam roller or ball between your knees and keep contact with the roller between your knees at all times. This contact does not need to be maximal, but minimal effective dose of adductor control to keep position.
4. Once you're in this position you'll need to tap into parasympathetic (restful) breathing, using an extended inhale, pause for a few seconds at the top, and lengthening out your exhale as long as possible. You want this breath to be coming primarily from your belly expanding at 360 degrees in order to allow some carryover on its effects more locally at the iliopsoas group, which is very close anatomically to the diaphragm and secondary respiratory muscles surrounding the abdominal cavity. Spend a few minutes here (without texting or talking) and just focus on your breath.
5. The next step is to use your hands on either side of your pelvis and to contact the inside of your hips (where a portion of the deep hip flexors are located) lightly with your fingertips. Your index and middle fingers should sink down behind the front side or your hip bone (ASIS) and maintain constant 5/10 subjective pressures. Continue to breathe here as you keep contact, and stay here for another few minutes. – Dr. John Rusin
