The Psoas muscle and back pain

The psoas muscle is an often missed cause of lower back pain.
If the muscle is tight and shortened, the pelvis tilts forward increasing the lumbar lordosis. 

To counteract this situation the spinal erector muscles on the dorsal side also contract and we end up with tension on both sides of the spine.
This means increased pressure on discs and facet joints and possible irritation of the muscle attachments.

Therefore with lumbar pain, always test the psoas and work its reflexes.
