Psoas Stretching Guide

This Psoas Stretching Guide is intended for our clients to use in conjunction with treatment at our clinic — and with explicit instruction from one of our therapists.

It is not intended for outside use.

Please continue only if you have had direction from a
Psoas Massage + Bodywork therapist.

If interested in treatment, give us a call to speak to one of our intake specialists at 415.227.0331.
