The psoas major is a large muscle that attaches at the bottom of the thoracic spine (T12) and along the lumbar spine (through L4), then runs through the pelvic bowl, down over the front of the hip joint, and attaches at the top of the femur (thigh bone). It is the only muscle connecting the spine to the leg.Introduction to the Psoas Muscle. The Psoas (pronounced so-as ) is located at the gravitational midline behind the abdominal muscles deep within the belly core.
The psoas is a pendulum that spans from the solar plexus to the upper leg allowing free-swing of the leg while walking. Influencing every aspect of health and well-being, a healthy, dynamic psoas is a powerful expression of coherency and.The psoas muscle connects your upper body with your legs and is one of the important muscles in your core. According to MedicineNet: “There are two psoas muscles on each side of the back. The larger of the two is called the psoas major and the smaller the psoas minor.
The psoas are muscles that originate at the 12th thoracic vertebrae (mid-back) and the 5th lumbar vertebrae (low back) on either side, run through either side of the pelvis, and insert at either side of the lesser trochanter of the femur (inner thigh bone at the hip).Structurally, your psoas muscles are the deepest muscles in your core. They attach from your 12th thoracic vertebrae to your 5th lumbar vertebrae, through your pelvis, and then finally attach to your femurs. In fact, they are the only muscles that connect your spine to your legs.
The psoas muscle group makes an upside down V, connected to the spine starting at about the bottom point of the rib cage and working its way down to the top of the femur. Specifically, it is a long spindle-like muscle, found between the pelvic inlet and the pelvic floor. It joins the iliacus muscle which is what forms the iliopsoas.The psoas muscle is the deepest muscle of the human body. It affects our structural balance, muscular integrity, flexibility, strength, range of motion, joint mobility, and organ functioning.
In Greek, psoas literally means “muscle of loin”.The psoas muscle is a highly emphasized, but often misunderstood muscle in the hip flexor group. Its often associated with lower back and hip pain or impingement, and postural imbalances such as.The psoas muscle group is a combination of the iliacus and psoas major, and is generally called the Iliopsoas.I often simply say “psoas” to imply both muscles. The psoas originates at the lower spine, and sort of ‘fuses’ with the iliacus muscle at the inner thigh (a spot on the femur called the lesser trochanter).
INTRODUCTION The psoas major is a multijoint muscle that spans from the thoracolumbar spine to the femur. Its proximal attachments are the anterolateral bodies of T12-L5 and the discs between, and the anterior surfaces of the transverse processes of L1-L5; its distal attachment is the lesser trochanter of the femur (Figure 1) (15).Treating a tight psoas muscle is not a matter of simply stretching it, as discussed in a paper in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine that focused on dancers.
A physical therapy regimen should also include strengthening and stretching the surrounding muscles—including the abdominal, gluteal, hamstring, and piriformis muscles—along with range of motion, pelvic mobilization, and.Anatomy of the Psoas The psoas major is a paired muscle (that means you have two of them, one on each side) that lies deep within your body. It’s actually the deepest skeletal muscle in your body, perhaps adding to its mystique!The psoas attaches your upper body to your lower body: it is the only muscle that connects your spine to your legs.
It is also one of the most fascinating and important muscles in the human body – physically, emotionally and energetically.The major and minor psoas muscles and the iliacus muscle make up the iliopsoas musculotendinous unit (IPMU). Commonly called iliopsoas muscle. This complex muscle system can function as a unit or intervene as separate muscles. It is essential for correct standing or sitting lumbar posture, coxofemoral joint, and during walking and running.
The psoas muscle is attached to the bottom of the thoracic spine and top of the lumbar spine, and reaches through the abdomen to attach to the top of the top of the thigh. It is considered the.

Fantastic video. Looks like quite a time saver too when compared to doing separate Obers and adductors test. Great tip about the TFL too. I need to get onto your BodyMaster courses. Just unable to get the weekdays off at the moment.
Is there any role of PSOAS MUSCLES In Occurrence and or recovery of Hernia?
Iliopsoas DOES NOT support the straightening the upper body! Wow! Where does this idea come from? It does just the opposite! Muscles work by CONTRACTING themselves! Think about it! Also, it is misleading to say that it is the strongest hip flexor, unless a person is a paraplegic and this is the only hip flexor it has. Look at where psoas attaches to the femour! Trying to flex the hip joint (raising the knee), would be just as productive as trying to open a door with a knob that is placed right next to its hinges! Psoas pulls the upper body down towards one’s lower extremities: that’s the muscle that keeps you from falling backwards while sitting! So it sort of does flex the hip, but by pulling the UPPER body toward one’s knees, not vice versa, as it is shown in this animation!
Is there a reason you would do these tests rather than simply using palpation to identify the state of the muscle? I would think only in patients who are possibly obese or to gather an objective value? cheers
I’m studying relieving hip flexors pain at home and discovered a great resource at Fergs Pain Ease (google it if you are interested)
John, would you have any suggestions for a right side anterior pelvic tilt due to child bearing? Not to mention this causing havoc in my body on the right side. Thank you so much!
One would think that on youtube one can see an animation instead of a read out from a textbook.

Instead of doing this crap, just let the individual lay on his back with thighs raised vertically, bent knees at 90 degree, calves resting on a gym ball. Make them perform small movements of the knees toward their chest and back (rolling the ball back and forth). After performing this for 10-15 minutes pretty much every muscle from abdomen downwards will release, not just the psoas.
P.S. No trained PT required.
Several things wrong with this… You can’t belly breathe and “not move your chest.” You most certainly cannot palate the psoas with it being under the abdominal wall and the digestive system (you were too high up to be anywhere near the pelvic portion). That will do for now.
I have a question. Why doesn’t the technique for psoas release implement directly behind, that is low back？
After all, the psoas originates from the Lumbar spine, doesn’t it？
I can not tell from the difference.
Thank you.
Excellent video, I had a suggestion when you cue him to take a diaphragmatic breath. Tight hip flexors also inhibit the abdominal muscles, in serious cases, preventing them from firing at all. It is very likely that some people may not even know what a diaphragmatic breath feels like. I remembered the first time I actually took a diaphragmatic breath, it was profound, almost like learning how to whistle.
When the patient was laying supine and you were putting pressure into the postero-proximal aspect of the femur, was that for release at the lesser trochanter, I.e. the insertion for the iliopsoas?
Hi everyone! What do you think about our new tutorial about the psoas major? Give us your feedback in the comments!:-) Are you ready to test your knowledge? Check out our quiz about the muscles of the hip and thigh available to premium members: https://khub.me/gaatr Good luck!
If using this technique and we get the acute change we looking for how do ensure a more lasting (chronic) change?
This video has changed my life! I have had deep groin pain on and off for about 3 months without being able to attain lasting release of the tension. Most of the techniques I tried had no lasting effect or made it worse. I laid on a lacrosse ball for about a minute using the placement from your video. It has been just remarkable, thank you!
Love your work John. Your videos are always my “go to” when I want to look up anything sports massage related
my chiropractor helped me with that when i had pain after some heavy squats

#KenHub I would love to see a video on what happens if one has a mass in the muscle compartment I found out I do last year and it can’t be removed I’d love to know what to expect
the Psoas Muscle according to the MRCS Anatomy is from T12 to L5.. please correct that.
I think my ileopsoas is misbehaving for years now after I had a stroke. Tomorrow I’m going to have a sports massage, hopefully the massage therapist can bring some relieve to this muscle.
great vido but why put your hand up on proxmmal hamstring and what is the physiology of this technique
This is great! I’ve been suffering in my psoas for years and have been currently experiencing a bigger than usual flare up. I just tried this on myself to the extent I could and it already helped. I so appreciate the post!!!
Very clear and informative, learnt It on my massage course but not what results to look for.
I have this pain from big toes at joint to ball of foot, mostly on top of the joint at foot. The front side of calf hurts deep like the bone is shattered w/ a tickling pain which runs up on the inside of my quads into my groin. My calf muscle hurts too. It doesn’t go away. It flares up when I move or exercise or even walk. Don’t know what it is. Certain rest positions seem to alleviate the pain but the tendons are still painful and can’t,maintain rest….I mean it is ticklish even at rest and is uncomfortable. What do I have? Where is the source?
You didnt explain the twist fibers on the attachment to the lesser trochanter that accommodates the rotation of the hip joint
Hi everyone! We hope you enjoyed watching this short video tutorial on the iliopsoas muscle! Have you mastered the anatomy of this muscle yet? Remember, there’s lots more where this came from, head on to our website right now: https://khub.me/zb7ih
You’re gonna love our vast library of video tutorials, quizzes, articles & much more!
I pulled this bitch right before football season and now I can’t run. Rip me
Thanks for the info. I have an issue with mine and it’s a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE. I’d rather give birth ��
Im glad I stumbled upon this video while searching for lesser trochanter. Awesome!
I would really love if we could get the latin names. It is so hard to understand what you are talking about, when we learn the Latin words in our university.
