…stabilize your trunk and spine during movement and sitting

…allow you to bend your hips and legs towards your chest

…support your internal organs

…is connected to your diaphragm which allows you to walk and breathe.

In other words, your psoas has a direct influence on your fight or flight response!

If the psoas get tight and weak, it can be a real pain but working certain muscles and doing the certain exercise combinations provide easy fixes.

So... If you experience...

low back pain
hip pain
stiffness
pain while walking or moving

th the exception of a few major writers, such as Cicero, Caesar, Virgil and Catullus, ancient accounts of Republican literature praise jurists and orators whose writings, and analyses of various styles of language cannot be verified because there are no surviving records. The reputations of Aquilius Gallus, Quintus Hortensius Hortalus, Lucius Licinius Lucullus, and many others who gained notoriety without readable works, are presumed by their association within the Golden Age. A list of canonical authors of the period whose works survived in whole or in part is shown here: Marcus Terentius Varro (116–27 BC), highly influential grammarian Titus Pomponius Atticus (112/109 – 35/32), publisher and correspondent of Cicero Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BC), orator, philosopher, essayist, whose works define golden Latin prose and are used in Latin curricula beyond the elementary level Servius Sulpicius Rufus (106–43 BC), juri st, poet Decimus Laberius (105–43 BC), writer of mimes Marcus Furius Bibaculus (1st century BC), writer of ludicra Gaius Julius Caesar (100–44 BC), general, statesman, historian Gaius Oppius (1st century BC), secretary to Julius Caesar, probable author under Caesar's name Gaius Matius (1st century BC), public figure, correspondent with Cicero Cornelius Nepos (100–24 BC), biographer Publilius Syrus (1st century BC), writer of mimes and maxims Quintus Cornificius (1st century BC), public figure and writer on rhetoric Titus Lucretius Carus (Lucretius; 94–50 BC), poet, philosopher Publius Nigidius Figulus (98–45 BC), public officer, grammarian Aulus Hirtius (90–43 BC), public officer, military historian Gaius Helvius Cinna (1st century BC), poet Marcus Caelius Rufus (87–48 BC), orator, correspondent with Cicero Gaius Sallustius Crispus (86–34 BC), historian Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (Cato the Younger; 95–46 BC), orator Publiu s Valerius Cato (1st century BC), poet, grammarian Gaius Valerius Catullus (Catullus; 84–54 BC), poet Gaius Licinius Macer Calvus (82–47 BC), orator, poet Augustan Main article: Augustan literature (ancient Rome) The Golden Age is divided by the assassination of Julius Caesar.
