The psoas is a major postural muscle which attaches to the lumbar vertebrae and goes diagonally down and out to attach at the hip to the trochanter, or upper part of the femur.
If the psoas is in spasm, it can pull the pelvic girdle into distortion, causing a short leg, and a myriad of other problems.
The spasm and resultant distortion cause discomfort, and can impact the gait.
With my Activator instrument, I can correct the distortion, and reset the tension in the psoas. Then I'll show the patient how to stretch the psoas muscle at home on their own to help keep this from happening again.
