Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.

Dr. Steve Taubman (www.stevetaubman.com) graduated valedictorian from New York Chiropractic College and ran a thriving practice idn Vermont for 14 years, but found his outer success did little to calm his inner turmoil. His subsequent exploration of Western psychotherapy, Eastern teachings of mindfulness, hypnosis, and the science of neurology provided profound insight into the universal nature and cause of suffering: the subconscious mind.
