Tweaked Low Back? Look At Your Psoas!

If you’ve ever tweaked your low back, spending some time “gut smashing” can deliver instant relief.

I got stoked about this after watching @cuptherapy’s video showing that with hands or a massage tool, you can actually get close enough to palpate the psoas (yep, touch it).

They ran an MRI study to see just how close you could get - and the results were wild.

With enough pressure, the viscera move out of the way and you can get within 9mm of the psoas.

They even tested people with BMI 19 and 29 (lean and a little fluffy), proving bodyweight isn’t a limiting factor.

I’ve said for years that hip flexors are behind a ton of low back pain.

That’s why gut smashing, or tools like the @pso_rite, can be game changers for reducing pain and stiffness.

I literally know this first hand…

Back in 2015 I tweaked my back so badly I couldn’t walk for 5 days.

Within minutes of gut smashing, I was back on my feet.

Total lifesaver.

I’m a fan of using a medicine ball too (see attached video) that’s what I first learned on, and they still work great.

But I won’t lie, the Pso-Rite is way more precise and targeted, and based on these results, it’s likely to deliver the exact same benefits.

Of course, not all back pain comes from the hip flexors, but if you sit a lot, I’d bet good money your psoas could use some love.
