“So this is where I think of the psoas as a core muscle or as part of the core. It's not so much part of the core, you know like I think of the transfer sabs, the pelvic floor, and the rectus abs and obliques. I don't think of it like that, but it's part of this fascial core because remember the psoas is definitely a mover.” - Katie Crane
