For some great information, you may want to check out is Travell & Simons'
Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual (2-Volume Set)
by David G. Simons, Janet G. Travell, Lois S. Simons, Barbara D. Cummings

This is the gold standard, with regard to physical medicine and
physiotherapy.

There is a wonderful, full chapter on the psoas.

If it's normalizing, then what's the problem?

Travell and Simons' 2 volume set is widely regarded as the trigger
point "bible" but costs almost $190 (because it is intended for and
priced for professionals).

A good alternative for us laypeople is the Trigger Point Therapy
Workbook, by Clair Davies. http://www.triggerpointbook.com/

I got this book about a year ago and have found it very helpful. I
can't recommend it too highly. (I see that a second edition has come
out but that the first edition is still being sold by Amazon, etc. So
if you get this, make sure you get the 2nd edition.)

Hi,

I've been living with low back and thigh pain for almost 15 years (I'm
29 now). The symptons got chronically worse in the last 2-3 years, and
even after a LOT of doctors (since i was +/- 15), no conclusive
diagnosis neither sucessful treatment was found.

Recently, a physiotherapist who also does some dance classes with me
(contemporary ballet and jazz) accepted the challenge to try to treat
me. After 3 or 4 wrong guesses about the source of the pain, she
realized that "something is wrong with your iliopsoas muscle": it was
shortened. This was quite surprising, because I have extremelly high
stretching and mobility in legs, hip and groin (negative grand des car).

Yeesh. I am sensitive to affordability issues.

I haven't bought it myself, either.

Assuming people are in a city with a medical school or University library,
it should be available for reference.
