The Mighty Psoas: Your Bodyโs Core Powerhouse ๐ช
Did you know the psoas muscle is one of the most important muscles for movement and posture? This deep-seated muscle connects your spine to your legs, making it essential for walking, running, and stabilizing your body.
Why the Psoas Matters:
โ
Movement: Helps lift your legs ๐ถโโ๏ธ and stabilize your hips, making every step possible.
โ
Posture: A balanced psoas supports a strong, upright posture ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ.
โ
Flexibility: Tightness in the psoas can lead to lower back pain ๐ฃ and limited mobility.
Impact on Nerves and Mobility Issues:
๐น Nerve Connections: The psoas is closely linked to the lumbar plexus, a network of nerves that control sensation and movement in the lower body. Tightness or dysfunction in the psoas can compress these nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the hips and legs.
๐น Mobility Challenges: A restricted psoas can create imbalances that affect walking, running, and even sitting comfortably ๐ช. Over time, this can contribute to issues like sciatica, hip misalignment, and chronic back pain.
How Massage Can Help:
Massage therapy can release tension in the psoas, improving flexibility, relieving pain, and enhancing movement ๐โโ๏ธ. Itโs a small muscle with a BIG impact on how you feel and move!
