It is involved in a number of movements, including flexion of the hip, rotation of the trunk, and stabilization of the spine. In his work on PTSD therapy, Robert Scaer has emphasized the role of the psoas muscle in the development and maintenance of the physical symptoms of the disorder.
 According to Scaer, traumatic events can cause the psoas muscle to become tense and overactive, leading to a state of chronic arousal and hypervigilance. This can contribute to the development of physical symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, digestive problems, and a general feeling of being "on edge." Scaer has argued that addressing the tension and activation of the psoas muscle can be an important part of the treatment process for individuals with PTSD.
