The iliacus muscle is a flat, triangular muscle located in the iliac fossa and is part of the iliopsoas muscle group. It functions to flex and externally rotate the femur, and helps maintain proper body posture when combined with the psoas muscle. The iliacus muscle can become tight or injured with sports that involve frequent hip flexion, sitting for prolonged periods, or developing trigger points that refer pain to other areas of the body like the groin or down the leg. It is considered one of the strongest hip flexors in the body when combined with the psoas muscle.
