The Vital Psoas Muscle: Connecting Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being

Description

Located deep within the anterior hip joint and lower spine, the psoas major
(usually just referred to as the psoas) is critical for optimal postural
alignment, movement, and overall well being. The psoas is the only muscle in
the human organism that connects the upper body to the lower body, and its
importance extends to the nerve complex and energy systems. As modern-day
populations grow more sedentary, psoas-related lower back and hip pain, and
the ailment of “sitting too much,” are on the rise. Even the most active of
athletes can suffer from psoas imbalance and pain. The Vital Psoas Muscle
demonstrates how to keep the muscle in balance through specific exercises
designed to strengthen and utilize this amazing muscle, and discusses its
vital role in the emotional and spiritual state of the human being. The
interconnection between the psoas and the root chakra is explored, along with
yoga poses and postures that stimulate the psoas. Eighty full-color
illustrations depict anatomical details, and show the key stretching and
strengthening exercises in this practical and comprehensive treatment of the
most important skeletal muscle in the human body. Read more
