Roll Ball Iliospsoas

To perform the Roll Ball Iliopsoas, start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.

Place a small exercise ball under your lower back, just above the hips.

  1. Gently roll back on the ball, allowing it to massage the iliopsoas area.
  2. Control your movement and avoid arching your back excessively.
  3. Roll back and forth for 1-2 minutes, focusing on areas of tension.

How to perform the Roll Ball Iliospsoas

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Roll Ball Iliospsoas using your roller.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your abdominals.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your abdominals rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.

Detailed cues, common mistakes, and demonstration video are available in the Fitly app.
