If you saw our recent video on the “Psoas Pendulum,” you heard Dr. Beth Anne explain that in the brain–body hierarchy of protection, muscles often guard deeper, more delicate structures (like nerves, organs, and vessels).
Here’s what sits between your front belly and your psoas:
• Skin + fascia (your biointelligent tissues)
• Small & large intestines
• Kidneys + ureters
• Nerves
• Ovaries (in female bodies)
• Arteries, veins + lymph
• And more
The psoas lives deep in the body for a reason. So instead of forcing it to release, we ask: What other structures might need support first?
Do you have tight hip flexors? Come see our physical therapists in our Lakewood, Colorado. We use gentle manual therapy — including visceral and neural manipulation — to address the deeper layers, which we often find are the root of pain and dysfunction.
