““Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his
people and redeemed them. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets
of long ago),” Luke 1:68-70 NIV
Isaiah 58
1 “Shout it aloud, do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a trumpet.
Declare to my people their rebellion
and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.
2 For day after day they seek me out;
they seem eager to know my ways,
as if they were a nation that does what is right
and has not forsaken the commands of its God.
They ask me for just decisions
and seem eager for God to come near them.
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say,
‘and you have not seen it?
Why have we humbled ourselves,
and you have not noticed?’
“Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please
and exploit all your workers.
4 Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife,
and in striking each other with wicked fists.
You cannot fast as you do today
and expect your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,
only a day for people to humble themselves?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed
and for lying in sackcloth and ashes?
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the LORD?
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a] will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
11 The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
and will raise up the age-old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
13 “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath
and from doing as you please on my holy day,
if you call the Sabbath a delight
and the LORD’s holy day honorable,
and if you honor it by not going your own way
and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,
14 then you will find your joy in the LORD,
and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land
and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.”
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

As the psoas causes back and hip pain
The biggest factor to hip and back pain is the psoas muscle. The number of problems caused by the psoas amazing. These include: back pain, back pain, sciatica, herniated disc, spondylolysis, scoliosis, hip degeneration, knee pain, menstrual pain,
infertility and digestive problems. The list can also biomechanical
problems like pelvic tilt, leg length discrepancies, kyphosis and
lumbarLordosis.
What is the psoas?
The psoas (pronounced “so – Oz”) primarily flexes the hip and spine. At about 16 cm in length on average, is one of the largest and thickest muscles of the body (in animals it comes to thread). This powerful muscle runs down the spine of the middle class starting on 12 thoracic vertebrae link attached to all vertebrae, discs and transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae down across the basinthe inside of the leg to the tip of the lesser trochanter. The lower part combined with the fibers of the iliacus muscle that is located within the surface of the pelvis and sacrum, M. iliopsoas become above the pubic bone and inserts on the lesser trochanter curves.
What is the function of the psoas?
This has a number of different functions so that it is an important factor for health. The psoas muscle is a flexor of the thigh and hip of the main promenade. If the legs arestationary action, is a curvature of the spine forward, if you sit down and stabilize the balance of the body. The lower psoas brings the lumbar vertebrae forward and downward to create pelvic tilt.
When we think of a smooth, elegant and graceful in dancers and athletes, we are ideally looking psoas functioning at it. And ‘necessary for the psoas the pelvis in a neutral dynamic orientation that can move easily protect and maintain the structural integrity maintained. This creates positionsspine require less muscle strength.
What are the most common symptoms of the psoas muscle pain?
If the muscle due to injuries, poor posture, prolonged sitting or stress is committed to change, the biomechanics of the pelvis and the lumbar, thoracic and even cervical vertebrae. Typically a dysfunctional is responsible for the pain that radiates down the front of the thigh and vertically along the spine and lower. Trigger points are located above the paththe psoas on the abdomen. Often trigger points develop quadratus lumborum, and piriformis, glutes, thighs, and spinal erectors.
You can drag the spine torque left or right, forward and rotate the pelvis in various distortions. Many times it is shortened psoas and pull the spine and / or basin on our side dominant. The distortions of the spine and pelvis can also show how long or short legs. This leads to scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis,The trigger points and spasm of the back muscles trying to resist the force of the psoas.
You can pull the spine downward, compressing the facet joints and intervertebral discs of the lumbar spine. The pressure can cause the discs to degenerate, becoming thinner and less flexible. This degeneration makes the discs more susceptible to bumps and cracks, especially with twisting and bending.
What keeps the psoas in contraction?
The psoas will stay contracted because ofpostural habits and trauma. The way we stand, sit, walk and can distort the psoas. If we stand with our chin or on foot in an overly forward position the muscle tighten. Seating is by most of the day shortened to us bio mechanically balanced in our chairs. Over the years we have developed a “normal” way to keep the psoas that is dysfunctional.
unprocessed trauma can keep the psoas responsive and quick. This is a muscle responses in the primary flight, freezing, fighting, or fear of danger. IfSurvival is at stake, it pushes the body hit the ground running. If scared, turn on the preparation of the extensor muscles (hold) to reach or run. Until the psoas muscle can draw freely and go stay in a further shortening and spasm very easily.
