Darn psoas

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have been fighting a very tight lower back. I lifted heavy all winter and had no problem but
as soon as I start throwing bam it hits me.
I thing it is caused by my psoas muscles being tight. If anyone has a trick to fix this I would love 
to hear it.

	I had mine released via deep tissue massage on recommendation from Jeff Kaste. It was absolutely the right thing for me at the time and it worked like a dream. It was, however, extremely invasive. I highly recommend it as a nuclear option. Otherwise just Google psoas stretch. You will get a lot of hits. Tom

	^ This. It's a constant battle. I have lordosis so my hips/thighs are aways tight or so my chiro says. So I am stretching and rolling them every day. But nothing compares to a sweet deep tissue invasion of your abdominal area.

	Same problem here too. I hit mine with a softball through the lower ab and hip area. Painful but effective. Psoas has haunted me for 12 years. Wrecked me in Boise, Estes, Celtic and Kirksville this year.

	I looked into the deep tissue message. 70.00/hr Wow! How long does it alleviate the problem?
