Psoas tightness is no joke!

ok me years of using a biomechanical lens before I understood that much of my chronic pain symptoms were rooted in repressed emotions and trauma

My experience is the same, including the multiple years involved in unwinding what turns out to be a complicated physiological situation, including its emotional dimension. My PT says that my reworking of hips and pelvic floor is akin / echoes the physical process of giving birth - a comparison which I will leave to her judgement, as a male individual - but it's no joke about the psychological tension which can accompany it. An osteopath told me that my body / mind connection might be in the dark as to my pelvic floor, which he described as maybe like not being able to sense that there is a "bottom" or something that is keeping you together. I have bouts of anxiety and depression whose relatedness to this physiological experience has come to my attention over time.
