When <br />you are seated, your hip is flexed (your thighs are in a horizontal <br />position), which means the psoas is in a contracted state. <br />Over time, a contracted psoas muscle becomes tight and it can <br />cause the low back curve to increase causing lower back pain. <br /> <br />For more informative health videos like this one, please visit us <br />and Like us on Facebook. <br /> <br />http://www.Facebook.com/AtlantaChiropractor <br /> <br />http://www.CarAccidentDoctorAtlanta.com <br /> <br /> <br />atlanta chiropractor <br />chiropractor atlanta <br />personal injury doctor atlanta <br />personal injury doctor gainesville ga <br />lien based <br />car accident doctor atlanta <br />car accident doctor gainesville ga <br />auto accident doctor atlanta <br />auto accident doctor gainesville ga <br />injury specialists
