Description

Deep tissue therapy techniques on this core muscle can provide powerful relief for sufferers of low back pain the second most common reason for doctor visits.For many therapists, treating low back pain is the number one issue for their patients. While there are likely to be a myriad of causes for this pain, the biggest factor may be the iliopsoas muscle. When this muscle become contracted due to injuries, poor posture, extended stints of sitting, or even stress, it can alter the biomechanics of the pelvis and lumbar, thoracic and even cervical vertebrae. Renowned authors Janet Travell and David Simons called the iliopsoas "the hidden prankster". This powerful core muscle can be the key to restoring power, ease, and fluidity to not only the low back but also to the rest of the body. This Seminar-On-Demand is 3 contact hours in length (check your state's approval status in the state specific course catalog for your profession).
