Hi,

Iliopsoas can get into spasm if there is some dysfunction of the low back or SI-joint. Spasm can also occur if there is a muscle imbalance. How are your synergists and agonists of iliopsoas? There is a dysfunction called psoas syndrome which also involves dysfunction of L1 or L2, spasm of piriformis on the opposite side and a SI-joint dysfunction. The lumbar nerve plexus which innervates iliopsoas also serve most of the abdominal organs. According to somatovisceral aspects there is a physiological connection between the ilipsoas muscle and internal organs. You need to find out if the primary cause is a somatic dysfunction or a visceral problem.
