Seeing the body as a tensegrity structure has been one of the linchpins in both my comprehension and treatment of chronic unexplained pain for three decades.

Iliopsoas Syndrome can cause or reinforce Pelvic Torsion, and Pelvic Torsion cause or reinforce Iliopsoas Syndrome. The key to both problems is the primary hip flexors,
Pelvic Torsion — more commonly referred to as a twisted pelvis — is a condition in which the two pelvic bones are positioned in oppositional rotation. Pelvic Torsion: Right Anterior, Left Posterior Torsion Pattern In other words, one pelvic bone is rotating forward, or anteriorly, and the other pelvic bone is either in a fixed
