Start off with a “Will you” and ended with an “I do”!!! Can’t believe it has been 13 years. To my better half and my one and only @skalaei “I love you” and Happy Anniversary 🍾
A tight psoas muscle can significantly contribute to lower back pain due to its location and role in the body. The psoas muscle is a deep muscle that connects the lower spine to the femur (thigh bone). It plays a crucial role in maintaining posture, stabilizing the spine, and enabling hip flexion.
Here’s how a tight psoas can impact lower back pain:
1. **Increased Lumbar Lordosis**: A tight psoas muscle can pull the lower spine forward, increasing the curvature of the lumbar spine (lumbar lordosis). This exaggerated curve can put excessive pressure on the vertebrae, discs, and surrounding muscles, leading to discomfort and pain in the lower back.
2. **Compression of Lumbar Discs**: The forward pull caused by a tight psoas can also compress the intervertebral discs in the lower back. This compression can lead to disc degeneration, herniation, or bulging, all of which are common causes of lower back pain.
3. **Imbalanced Pelvis**: A tight psoas can cause an anterior pelvic tilt, where the front of the pelvis tilts downward. This pelvic misalignment can contribute to lower back pain by altering the alignment of the spine and straining the muscles that support it.
4. **Reduced Hip Mobility**: When the psoas is tight, it restricts the range of motion in the
