Inspired by a recently anatomy image of the relationship between the psoas muscle and the lumbar plexus nerves, this episode shares my thoughts and approach to "tight" psoas muscles and poor hip flexor performance.
I discuss the role the psoas plays with the viscera, nervous system, and movement and offer my thoughts on assessment and simple treatments that don't really involve endless stretching, smashing, or strengthening of the psoas muscle.
Join me on this anatomical exploration!

Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.
