285. Constant Back Pain - Are Your Hip Flexors to Blame?
Episode description
Struggling with low back pain? What if the key to improving a cranky back was actually in your hips?
Listener Heather asks: “My low back has been flaring up like crazy lately. I went to the chiropractor and showed him where I hurt, and he mentioned that my psoas muscle could be to blame. So, can you explain this to me - why would my psoas muscle make my back hurt? And then what should be my game plan to help this?”
Thanks for asking, Heather! Take a listen to this quick episode chock-full of tips to help tackle low back pain.
- I’ll explain exactly what the psoas muscle is and why it might be causing you back pain.
- We’ll review stretches and exercises that can both treat current pain and help prevent future flare-ups.
- I’ll teach you tricks for trigger point release that can help relieve pain (spoiler: you’ll want your foam roller handy!).
You don’t have to live with back pain - and I can help you tackle the issue at the source!
