Awesome, awesome book. I have been really into studying and fixing up my psoas recently.
- Good intro to the muscle, and other related muscles
- Diagrams are absolutely top-notch 6/5, diagrams are mainly for stretches to hit the psoas. These stretches are the same ones used in yoga and pilattes. Diagrams are see-through and detail the muscles being worked very well, helps one understand the purpose of the stretches.
- Talks about the spiritual, emotional, and well-being aspects of the psoas muscle in a scientifically respectful, yet assertive manner. The psoas is certainly involved with these things! And tension/tightness in the psoas can certainly have negative mental effects, not to mention effects on posture (kind of the same thing.)
I now use this book as my quick-reference for stretches and the anatomy of the body with relation to the psoas. Would be a great living room table book.

Demystifying the psoas for practitioners, movers, and wellness seekers
The Psoas and Movement
The psoas works with many other major muscles to produce and stabilize movement. Learn when to release and when to strengthen the psoas and why this difference matters. Includes yoga and pilates specific exercises and stretches.
The Psoas and Emotions
Imagine being kind to a muscle; do we ever do this? Society dictates that we work a muscle to exhaustion, whether in work or play. Let’s take a different approach with the psoas. Freeing it from so many chores may help to relieve emotional tension, and even trauma held deep in the core of the body.
The Psoas and Spirituality
The link between science and spirituality is definitely overdue and ripe for investigation. What does this have to do with the “almighty psoas?” This concept is explored in depth through the seven chakras.
About the author
Vital Psoas book is as described
I bought the Vital Psoas because I was hoping to find more information on the diagnosis mistakenly given to me by a "physical therapist" who I later learned has no experience in this area. After feeling like I had exhausted all my avenues, I purchased this book. It's okay and is as described with nicely done illustrations and easy to understand language that doesn't make you feel like you missed out by not attending medical school. It's only that it did not provide additional information that could not be found with an extensive online search that I'm not giving it more stars.
