Is Back Pain Slowing You Down? Physical Therapy Can Help!
Is Your Iliopsoas Causing Your Lower Back Pain? As COVID-19 continues to affect our daily lives, many healthy individuals are being requested to stay at home in self-isolation. Many of us spend a lot more time sitting behind computers or watching TV. Excessive sitting causes the hip flexor muscles, more specifically, the iliopsoas muscles (pronounced ilio-SO-as), to relax and deactivate. As iliopsoas muscles become progressively weaker and shorter, it can lead to low back pain, and deplete your energy, impede circulation, and affect vital organ functioning, while draining the adrenal glands and your immune system. There are a few treatment techniques that can address the shortened hip flexors. Iliopsoas muscles need a great deal of care and attention while working the area, especially considering all the delicate structures that surround it. Therapists at Polishuk Physical Therapy & Wellness are trained in advanced myofascial release techniques and know how to properly assess the state of your hip flexors, which is a key to a successful and safe treatment. If you or someone you know suffer from chronic low back pain and have not been able to pinpoint the cause, let one of our experts evaluate you and find the right solution.
Before you can treat your back pain, however, you need to know why it started. Whether you’ve tweaked a muscle or have a deeper injury, a spine specialist can help.
