Overview
Psoas muscle is the largest and most powerful muscle, positioned on the ventral part of the spine. It is classified in lumbar joint flexors from the functional point of view. It is permanently overburdened in standing, walking and sitting position, and that is why tends to be shortened with results in increasing lumbar lordosis and increased load upon lumbar joints. In this way there is increasing tendency to wear out lumbar joints, which becomes manifest in limited internal rotation, shortened steps and first signs of coxarthrosis. In vertebrogenic syndromes in the shank area pain is often encountered. In practice its spasm and shortening play important roles. Our paper analyzed various approaches for treatment pf this muscle from the analytical exercise point of view as well as Spiral dynamics®, reflex creepage, or selected ásan from yoga. A correct diagnosis of affected psoas muscle and subsequent suitable therapy makes it possible to use various approaches for different patients. The more procedures are used, the broader spectrum of patients in different stages of the disease can be treated.
