I also found that supine leg lifts with ankle weights to strengthen the psoas to be of help, but you always have to balance this with the piriformis stretches, otherwise you can strengthen yourself into piriformis issues!

J, which iOS app are you referring to?
Essential Anatomy on the iPad (iOS).

Great app. Use it all the time when things are tight or hurt.
