The Iliopsoas muscle group

Psoas muscle groupA few days ago I went to see Jay Rud­dock who does Struc­tural Integration/Rolfing in Bath. The treat­ment was inter­est­ing and effec­tive, as expected. Now I’ve now got some of my miss­ing mobil­ity back. Thanks Jay!

I still find it fas­ci­nat­ing how manip­u­lat­ing attach­ments (where mus­cles and lig­a­ments attach to bone) can have such a great effect. Proof that work­ing on one thing affects another.

We spoke briefly about the Psoas mus­cle (which amaz­ingly attaches our spine to our legs) and I asked him if he’d seen this picture.

So, here you go Jay (and any­one else who finds it). Isn’t she a beauty?

As an aisde, Liz Koch has ded­i­cated her life to the Psoas mus­cle. Imag­ine that? One life, one mus­cle. Fan­tas­tic! I won­der which mus­cle she’ll choose in her next life.
