Psoas a major muscle in the abdomen
Problems with the ilopsoas muscles and sciatic nerves cause most
lower back problems. We can help release sciatic pains when we work on the psoas muscles and the lumbar sacral plexus. Work on the iliopsoas muscles and the sciatic nerves goes together because they can
influence one another. The accumulation of toxins and tensions in the abdomen presses against the nerves, muscles, and tendons
that are coming out from the spine. This impairs communication between the nerves.
Tension in the muscles goes on unnoticed and the muscles don’t receive the message to relax. To restore the nerves to
their function of controlling the muscle, the pressure has to be relieved.
To detoxify the large and small intestines,
this can be done through colon hydrotherapy. This will allow you to go deeper and work on the lumbar sacral plexus and psoas
muscles. The abdomen has to be softened before you can work on this area. This is very deep work.
Major psoas muscles originate along the twelfth thoracic to the fifth lumbar vertebrae bone, descend through the pelvic
region, and attach to the top part of the femur (thigh) bone. They form part
of the posterior wall for the abdomen and help support the organs in the abdomen. They
are also the flexors of the thigh. On some the psoas muscles do not descend to the thighbone, but anchor to the lower brim
of the pelvis.
The psoas muscles are the soil of the soul. An imbalance between the tensions on both sides of the muscles can cause
curvature of the spine, malposition of the hips, one leg to be shorter than the other, and sciatic pains.
When toxic pressure builds in the abdomen, it affects the lumbar plexus and creates chronic tension in the lower back. This weakens the psoas muscles, which become spastic, in chronic cases thy start to atrophy. In that stare they require an overcompensation of the lower back muscles to
keep the structure erect.
Also, a difference in the tension between the right and left poas muscles would automatically throw the spine out of
alignment. It is very important to release, lengthen, and balance both sides
of the posas muscles.
Working on them can help a variety of emotional problems, especially depression.
