Psoas syndrome can sometimes mimic other back and hip problems, which is why it is often missed. In this article, I explain what it is, why it matters, and what symptoms may suggest the psoas should be evaluated.

Still suffering from sciatica — even after treatment?

You might be treating the wrong problem.

A small muscle deep in your buttock called the piriformis could be the real culprit behind your pain. It's frequently misdiagnosed as a disc problem, and many people suffer for months (or years) without ever finding relief.

Have you heard the phrase “sitting is the new smoking”? There is mounting research now showing that prolonged sitting is not only bad for your back, but is linked to weight gain, poor cognitive function, diabetes, and cardio-vascular disease.

You just have to follow a few rules when using this approach.
