Liz Koch discusses the Psoas muscle and Core Awareness principles with Deric Stockton, owner of Core Strength RX Private Gym in Scotts Valley, CA. We discuss overuse, misuse and abuse of the psoas, the importance of spine-based movement, and how to maximize the psoas muscles action potential. A powerlifter, and strength coach/personal trainer, Deric offers a unique somatic perspective of the core muscle, affirming the importance of skeletal positioning, fluidity and proprioception for a healthy powerful core.
