The psoas is the deepest and most stabilizing muscle in our body and affects balance and mobility. It connects the trunk with the lower body and is responsible for keeping us standing and allowing us to lift our legs when we walk. Having a healthy psoas is essential to be able to stabilize the spine. If we keep it constantly under tension, it will end up shortening, making it difficult to maintain a correct posture. As a result, back pain, sciatica, disc problems and hip degeneration may appear. One of the main reasons why this muscle shortens is spending many hours sitting, which is why people who work in offices often encounter this problem. On the other hand, it is also quite common among athletes who practice an activity that requires continuous hip flexion, such as cyclists and runners. A released psoas will improve posture and allow the legs and pelvis to move more fluidly. Take care of your psoas and avoid back pain.
