Transverse friction massage of the psoas muscle belly : clinical image is not to be confused with a psoas bursitis
The patient adopts the half-lying position. Site of the lesion : below the inguinal ligament and medial to the sartorius muscle. For a right psoas muscle, we use the right index and middle fingers, reinforced by the left middle and ring fingers. Make sure that during the deep friction massage you keep a deep contact.
Remark : for the patient's comfort, it is essential to keep the fingers horizontal and to increase the pressure gradually.
