Low back, fertility, lumbar discs, ovaries, testes and ovarian cysts
At the front of the hip lies a vital muscle called the psoas major. This muscle plays a crucial role as it is the strongest muscle attached to the lumbar vertebrae and most capable of crushing the lumbar discs. Its primary functions are to arch the lumbar spine, and flex the hip joint, making it a leading cause of lumbar nerve impingement and low back pain.
When the psoas major goes into spasm, it creates additional complications. The genitofemoral nerve, the sole nerve connecting the reproductive glands to the central nervous system, passes directly through the belly of the psoas major. Tightness or spasms in this muscle can cause both low back pain and issues related to reproductive health. Furthermore, the psoas major occupies the inguinal canal and can obstruct lymphatic and blood flow toward the heart during a spasm. This obstruction is often linked to ovarian cyst formation, which, in many cases, resolves after releasing the psoas major.
Effectively releasing the psoas major can alleviate low back pain in 90% of cases. Additionally, while erectile dysfunction has a range of contributing factors, releasing the psoas major has been shown to improve or resolve ED in 80% of cases.
