Knowing what/where the Psoas is and how to keep it healthy, could be the difference between a pain free psoas or developing low back pain at some point in your life, which is the single leading cause of disability worldwide. Yeah I know, bullshit right?   The psoas major muscle, also known as the “hidden prankster”, contributes to the role of the hip flexors. It’s the only muscle that connects the upper extremity to the lower extremity (the spine to the legs).  Its primary role is hip flexion (pulls torso toward thigh)...Read more
