As Myofascial Release and Body Work Practitioners, the Psoas is a vital part of many of our practices. As many of you have been made aware, Robert Schleip has published a wealth of articles on fascia and body work. One article that I've recently read digs into the specifics of the psoas and teaches how to use the Thomas Test to find additional information besides the presence of hip flexor tightness.

Throughout my years as a therapist, and in my Foundations in Myofascial Release Seminars, I have emphasized a deep model of evaluation. Schleip's article allows us to understand the deeper aspects of soft tissue tightness.

Many of you may have already read this blog post I made recently. It has received quite a few comments, not only on my blog, but on LinkedIn and Massage and Bodywork Professionals. There is often much more to improving posture than just strengthening. Soft tissue tightness plays an even more important role. But, the influence of emotions often comes into play whenever one addresses posture.
