The psoas major is an incredibly important muscle that can be involved in conditions of the lumbar spine, the sacroiliac and hip joints, and the diaphragm and pelvic floor. Here's a few ways to determine if the psoas is at play.
Let's consider the centrality, attachments, and importance of the psoas and diaphragm.
