PSOME PSOAS ESSENTIALS

The psoas originates just a bit higher then the diaphragm – possibly all the way up to T11.

Its primary action is to initiate the flexion of the hip – it lifts your thigh up.

So every forward step you take is initiated from a place just above your diaphragm; you could say you begin walking from a higher place than you breathe from!

It also attaches to all the lumbar vertebrae and their discs. So one can imagine tension here may have a compressing impact on the discs as well as the vertebrae.

It has two layers – one attaching to the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae (lower back) the other attaches to the vertebrae themselves and the discs in between them.

Sandwiched between these two layers lives the lumbar plexus of the nervous system. The lumbar plexus runs down from the psoas and then innervates most of the muscles in your pelvis and legs.

Some say Ida Rolf’s emphasis on working with the psoas was primarily to enliven the lumbar plexus.

In any case….just remember - in light of Siegfried Albinus' famous anatomical artwork – behind every good psoas there’s a grazing rhinoceros

….just kidding.
