There is a yoga expert who has written a book on the psoas.

I tore my psoas at age 19.

Nasty injury.

I am still payning for it 14 years later.

1. keep it strong; do weights.
2. keep it stretched out; avoid static positions for long periods
(standing, sitting).
3. get help with assisted stretching from a physiotherapist. They can use
"muscle energy techniques".
4. Laser works for the inner thigh/groin/pelvic pain.
