No Physio or Doctor will ever tell you this. They will just suck your wallet dry and you will walk around in pain until they advise a hip replacement. How do I know this? Because this was me and I was told roughly 20 years ago to get both of my hips replaced. No thanks. I’m not a fan of highly invasive surgeries and through exercise and understanding how the body works, I have largely rehabilitated my hips. I’m a work in progress due to being so locked up for so long but I am so happy with how far I have come. Sadly I see so many of my clients with tight sore hips and they have been to all sorts of health practitioners looking for answers.

Can Weak Glutes Affect the Psoas?

Let’s chat about it!

Yes.

Okay, cool. Now that we have that covered! Relax your jaw and don’t cross your legs!

Haha – okay in all seriousness, YES! Weak glutes can absolutely affect the Psoas.

Without getting into a lengthy post – just understand these key points:

The psoas is a hip flexor BUT one of it’s main jobs is to stabilize the spine & pelvis during dynamic movement. (like walking, climbing stairs, etc) So it already has a big job.

The glutes also help stabilize the pelvis. If the glutes are weak then the psoas will have to compensate which means eventually it will become tight, overworked and painful. It can also start to pull the pelvis into an anterior tilt which will affect pelvic floor as well as many other muscles. This will also create compensation and dysfunction in the low back which will affect the vertebrae of the lower lumbar which eventually, could end up with arthritis, disc compromise and instability. Also – your glutes extend the leg behind you (walking) and if the psoas is tight it will minimize that range of motion making the glutes EVEN WEAKER.

Oy vay. What a mess, right?!!!

So in short, NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM HAVING WEAK GLUTES! 😉

We go over gluteal engagement and pelvic floor working together extensively in Recruit the Glutes. Make sure to check that out!

Your body keeps score… and it’s trying to get your attention.

That ache in your back... that tension in your jaw... that gut pain that won’t go away... it’s not just physical. It’s emotional. It’s energetic. It’s memory.

We’ve all been through stuff. Trauma. Disappointment. Rejection. And most of us never had a safe place to actually process it. So where does it go? Into the body. Stored in the tissues. Buried under years of survival.

Your body becomes a map of every moment you didn’t get to speak your truth… every time you shoved it down… every time you told yourself to be strong and just move on.

Jaw? Usually unspoken anger.
Gut? Fear, shame, anxiety, powerlessness.
Back? Guilt, grief and old wounds you’ve carried way too long.
Feet? Feeling lost. Unrooted.

Pain is a messenger. It’s not betraying you—it’s trying to wake you up. The body remembers what the mind tries to forget.

This is your reminder... slow down. Breathe. Listen.

Ask yourself.... What emotion is trying to surface right now? What part of me needs attention...not fixing, but presence?

Because once you start listening to your body... it finally starts to release what it’s been holding for far too long.

Stress poisons your cells, rewrires your brain and exhausts your body without you even noticing. Make yourself a priority and help reset your nervous system with a Deep Tissue Massage.

Stress, anxiety, overworking, and overthinking don’t just drain you mentally—they silently disrupt nearly every system in your body. Constant mental pressure floods the brain with cortisol, the main stress hormone. Over time, this shrinks the hippocampus (memory and learning) and weakens the prefrontal cortex (decision-making and emotional control). Anxiety keeps your brain stuck in survival mode, making it harder to focus, sleep, or think clearly. Mood swings, panic attacks, or emotional numbness often follow.

This pressure doesn’t stop at the brain. It reaches your heart and blood vessels, raising blood pressure and heart rate. The arteries become inflamed, increasing the risk of clots, plaque buildup, strokes, and heart disease. Over time, this can quietly erode cardiovascular health.

On a cellular level, stress shortens telomeres—the protective caps on DNA—accelerating aging. The immune system weakens, making it harder to fight illness or recover. Chronic inflammation from stress raises the risk of autoimmune issues, cancer, and other serious conditions. Free radicals multiply, damaging cells and organs over time.

Your gut suffers too. Stress disrupts digestion, causing cramps, bloating, or irregular bowel movements. It can damage the gut lining, triggering leaky gut, inflammation, and food sensitivities. Appetite swings between cravings and total loss can lead to fatigue and nutrient imbalances.

Hormones fall out of balance. Sleep becomes difficult, and stress affects thyroid, reproductive, and insulin levels. This can lead to weight gain, fatigue, acne, missed periods, low libido, or even diabetes. Muscles stay tense, bones weaken, and skin may dull or break out due to cortisol’s effects.

Left unchecked, this leads to burnout—emotional, mental, and physical collapse. The risk of Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and chronic illnesses grows. Brain function slows, emotions numb, and life begins to feel like survival.

But healing is possible. Your well-being matters more than your to-do list. You are precious. Please take a moment to breathe, rest, and care for yourself. Nothing is more important than you. ❤
