Treatment

Primary psoas trigger points will be found deep in your abdomen about two inches to each side and an inch down from your belly button. On the front of your body, find the hipbone, or anterior superior iliac spine (or ASIS), at just about the level of your front pants’ pocket, with one hand. With the other hand, find your belly button. The main trigger point will be halfway in between these two landmarks (figure 7.31). The fingers will work back-to-back, as shown in figure 7.26.

Get into position for psoas massage by lying on your back with your knees bent. Then let your knees fall over to the side away from the psoas muscle you want to work on. A thick pillow under the knees is helpful. This position will bring your hip up and allow your intestines to move out of the way a little bit (figure 7.32). This position, with the knees to one side, is an excellent way to make all of the muscles on one side of the abdomen easier to massage. If this position hurts your back, don’t do it. Instead, lie flat on your back with both knees resting on a pillow.
