Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Curious how the body tricks us. The iliopsoas is known in some pt circles as " the great pretender " , because injuries to the iliopsoas quite ofter appear to be something else. It is so closely involved with the hip that: For about two years before the diagnosis that got me to investigate resurfacing, I was being treated for damage to the iliopsoas. Nobody could figure out why that particular form of therapy wasn't effective. Now we all know. But I certainly learned more I ever hoped to know about the iliopsoas. In the same neighborhood...the pyriformis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
