Massage is a must for office workers.tip

People who spend a long time sitting down, such as office workers or drivers, have muscles that need massage.

It’s the iliopsoas muscle

The role of this muscle is to lift the leg in front of the body.

You can think of our sitting posture as a posture in which the iliopsoas muscle is always tense.

In particular, Koreans tend to lead a sedentary life at home, so it is easier for them to get together.

And when this iliopsoas muscle is tight, your posture becomes very bent.

People who usually hear things like, “I have bad posture,” or “I need to straighten my back,” probably have a very tight iliopsoas muscle.

Characteristics of people with tight iliopsoas muscle

In a standing position, it is a muscle that bends the body forward, which is commonly referred to as a curved back. The back is curled and the neck appears forward.

It is more comfortable to sleep with your legs pulled together than to sleep in the upright position.

Pain in the groin or lower back

If only one side is bunched up, it can cause a difference in pelvic height and leg length.

The massage method is to draw an imaginary line between the navel and the pelvic bone and gently press the massage ball between the lines.

If you do this, you will immediately feel that this is the iliopsoas muscle. The point is not to put force on your stomach.

It’s a muscle inside, so it has to go deep, so it’s important to relax your stomach.

It is difficult to feel the pressure using instruments or hands, so it is better to lie down and use a massage ball.

We recommend that you relax well and exercise appropriately.
