I always work the psoas with my clients and educate them on the importance of this muscle!

PSOAS: EL MÚSCULO DEL ALMA
La importancia del psoas para nuestra salud, vitalidad y bienestar emocional.
El psoas es el músculo más profundo y estabilizador del cuerpo humano, que afecta a nuestro equilibrio estructural, amplitud de movimiento, movilidad articular y funcionamiento de los órganos del abdomen.
Es el único músculo que conecta la columna vertebral con las piernas, el responsable de mantenernos de pie y el que nos permite levantar las piernas para caminar.
Un psoas sano estabiliza la columna vertebral y proporciona apoyo a través del tronco, formando además un buen estante para los órganos abdominales.
Algunos estudios recientes consideran además al psoas, un órgano de percepción compuesto por tejido bio-inteligente que encarna, literalmente, nuestro deseo más profundo de supervivencia y de florecer. Es decir, es el mensajero primario del sistema nervioso central, por lo que es considerado también como un portavoz de emociones . Esto es debido a que el psoas está conectado con el diafragma a través del tejido conectivo o fascia, por lo que se ve afectado tanto en la respiración, como en el miedo reflejo.
Un estilo de vida acelerado y el stress generan adrenalina que crónicamente tensan el psoas, preparándolo para correr, entrar en acción o encogerse para protegernos.
Si constantemente mantenemos el psoas en tensión debido al stress, con el tiempo comienza a acortarse y a endurecerse. Se dificultará así nuestra postura y las funciones de los órganos que habitan en el abdomen, dando lugar a dolores de espalda, ciáticas, problemas de disco, degeneración de la cadera, menstruaciones dolorosas o problemas digestivos.
Por otro lado, un psoas tenso manda señales de tensión al sistema nervioso, interfiere en el movimiento de los fluidos y afecta a la respiración diafragmática. De hecho, el psoas está tan íntimamente involucrado en las reacciones físicas y emocionales básicas, que cuando está tensionado de forma crónica, está enviando al cuerpo continuas señales de peligro, por lo que puede repercutir en el agotamiento de las glándulas suprarrenales y del sistema inmunológico.
Esta situación se ve agravada por la forma de sentarnos o por las posturas de nuestros hábitos diarios, que reducen nuestros movimientos naturales y constriñen aún más el músculo.
Un psoas liberado permite alargar mucho más la parte delantera de los muslos y permite a las piernas y la pelvis moverse con mayor fluidez e independencia. Mejora la posición de la columna y de todo el torso, con la consecuente repercusión en la mejora de las funciones de los órganos abdominales, en la respiración y en el corazón.
Cuando cultivamos la salud de nuestro psoas se reavivan nuestras energías vitales y conectamos de nuevo con nuestro potencial creativo.
En algunas filosofías orientales al psoas se le conoce como el “músculo del alma”, un centro de energía principal del cuerpo. Cuanto más flexible y fuerte esté el psoas, más podrá nuestra energía vital fluir a través de los huesos, músculos y articulaciones.
El psoas sería como un órgano de canalización de la energía, un núcleo que nos conecta a la tierra, nos permite crear un soporte firme y equilibrado desde el centro de nuestra pelvis.
Así, la columna vertebral se alarga y a través de ella, puede fluir toda nuestra vitalidad.

This is what I have been talking to my clients about for years!

Dead Butt Syndrome (DBS), also known as Gluteal Amnesia, is a condition where the gluteus medius muscle becomes weak or inactive due to prolonged sitting, poor posture, or muscle imbalances. This leads to pain, discomfort, and improper biomechanics, increasing the risk of injuries in the lower back, hips, and knees.

Causes of Dead Butt Syndrome

• Prolonged Sitting

• Lack of Physical Activity

• Poor Posture

• Overuse of Hip Flexors - Tightness in the hip flexors (e.g., iliopsoas) inhibits proper glute activation.

• Improper Exercise Routine

• Neuromuscular Inhibition - The brain stops effectively engaging the glutes due to compensatory patterns.

Symptoms of Dead Butt

• Gluteal pain or numbness

• Lower back pain due to poor pelvic stability

• Hip pain caused by overactive hip flexors and weak glutes

• Knee pain resulting from improper alignment and stress on joints

• Tightness in hamstrings due to compensation for weak glutes

• Reduced performance in walking, running, or climbing stairs

Physiotherapy Assessment for Dead Butt Syndrome

• Postural Analysis

• Glute Activation Test

• Single-Leg Balance Test

• Hip Mobility and Flexibility Assessment

Only one more month and I can start rehab from my neck surgery! Whoot Whoot.

The bones and soft tissues in the neck may spasm and/or tighten to try and compensate for degeneration.

Pilates for Sciatica
Pilates for sciatica is a form of exercise therapy specifically designed to strengthen the core and postural muscles in the torso and back.
Pilates was originally developed as a rehabilitation program for wounded soldiers, so its medical affiliation traces back to the beginning of the system.
Pilates is known as a very rigorous and physically demanding system of training the body and may be difficult for many patients with chronic pain to successfully use.

Pilates for Sciatica
Pilates is a difficult form of calisthenics. The program does not use weights, but does incorporate mat or spring tension equipment for many exercises.
Pilates promotes core body strength and is a good addition to a therapy program for any patient with chronic muscular pain and weakness.
When used in physical therapy, as opposed to in fitness class applications, Pilates truly shines for sciatica patients who have shown a history of benefiting from regular exercise treatment.
Pilates will not cure any spinal abnormality and will also not do anything to resolve the underlying emotional trauma responsible for chronic sciatica.
It will however, provide temporary symptomatic relief from some forms of muscle pain, by increasing circulation to the affected areas of the body. This makes it a good option for treating sciatica and piriformis syndrome.
Generally, Pilates is rigorous and strenuous, making it difficult for many people to perform, even without the burden of back pain.
However, most exercises can be modified to make them more applicable to a less athletic participant.

Pilates for Sciatica
I have used many Pilates techniques throughout my career for building muscular strength and flexibility. The exercises are simple in theory, but extremely challenging to perform.
I feel it is best to pursue a real and permanent solution rather than devoting time to a quick, but temporary fix. If you are looking for a natural method of relief and to avoid taking pain medication then Pilates might be a great option to consider.
