Struggling with low back pain? What if the key to improving a cranky back was actually in your hips? Listener Heather asks: “My low back has been flaring up like crazy lately. I went to the chiropractor and showed him where I hurt, and he mentioned that my psoas muscle could be to blame. So, can you explain this to me - why would my psoas muscle make my back hurt? And then what should be my game plan to help this?” Thanks for asking, Heather! Take a listen to this quick episode chock-full of tips to help tackle low back pain.
