Is Psoas REALLY the cause of our low back pain?

Some say YES; lengthen Psoas when it is short, it’s torquing the spine. TRUE a short Psoas will torque the spine…But does that Psoas test strong? What if it’s locked short due to weakness? Do we still lengthen it?

Some say Psoas is primarily expressive of emotional stress.

TRUE that it activates with the Sympathetic Nervous System SNS. But did emotional stress start the issue or does the torque in the spine create tension in one branch of Psoas and reflex into the psycho-emotional system due to the stress on the spine.

In my experience it can go either way: Emotional Stress can cause expressive shortening of our extensor muscles along the spine (low back and neck primarily and the Psoas simultaneously). But physical torque in the spine can cause subliminal stress resulting in psycho-emotional tension which is often resolved by eliminating the physical tensions without engaging the psychological system.

When people tell me about their psychological issues I have to tell them "not my area of expertise" but anxiety is real and real physical dysfunctional coordination creates stress on the system that creates anxiety.

Have you noticed that people's levels of anxiety go down with the bodywork you do?

Can you see the horizontal branch of the Psoas on the right side that attaches to L5? What do you you suppose that branch does and how would you muscle test it?

We may not get all this answered in Mod 1 NMR July 19 - 21st but we will be well on our way to resolving issues related to the Psoas, Iliacus, Pectineus, Rec Fem, QL, Erectors, Hamstrings etc etc etc.

Psoas Muscle Treatment Options: Physical Therapy, Yoga, And More

Yoga is another highly effective approach for psoas muscle pain relief. Certain yoga poses help stretch and lengthen the psoas, promoting relaxation and improved function. Poses such as Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana), Bridge (Setu Bandhasana), and Legs-Up-the-Wall (Viparita Karani) are particularly helpful.

L’ernia del disco è associata ad un’atrofia dello psoas

L’ernia del disco lombare è una patologia degenerativa piuttosto diffusa, associata a lombalgia e dolore agli arti inferiori. I fattori di rischio per la sua comparsa e progressione sono molti, ma gli squilibri a livello lombare sarebbero cruciali stando alla biomeccanica spinale. Dagli squilibri lombari al muscolo psoas maggiore il passo è davvero breve. Può esserci quindi una correlazione tra…

Don’t run from the dark. Don’t try to clear out darkness. Darkness is creative. It is fuel. Embrace darkness. It’s not enlightenment you seek programmed into your psyche from colonial Abrahamic religious tradition that continues to create lower body stiffness and negatively affect the psoas and pelvic health in the female body. It’s endarkenment. To know the regenerative black hole. To feel safe in emptiness. To twirl around while smiling into the unknown. To move with flexible hips and fluid strides into old age. To no longer live fragmented and afraid. —India Ame’ye
