a recent analysis.
This added risk is something doctors and patients should discuss in advance, the study team writes in The Journal of Arthroplasty, in 2019.
Previous studies have linked depression and other mental illnesses to greater complications after surgery and worse outcomes for patients, the researchers note.
This goes to show how important the hips are when it comes to how the entire body functions.
The big story within the hips revolves around the iliopsoas muscle — a deep muscle group located toward the front of the inner hip.
The psoas is the deepest support of our core, according to Martha Eddy, a leading somatic educator, author, and founder of Dynamic Embodiment.
“The pelvis is full of our creative, reproductive organs and contains the centrally located psoas muscle that connects the upper and lower body (the breath and diaphragm to the legs) making the core of our body important both physically and emotionally,” Eddy told Self Magazine.
Many types of pain can be linked to a dormant or tight psoas muscle, especially because it stabilizes the spine and affects posture. In this case, your lumbar spine may lose its natural arch by becoming overly flattened or overly curved.
According to a 2021 study, prolonged sitting is one of the main causes of limited hip extension and the associated pain and discomfort.
In fact, poor posture is linked to depression, fatigue, stress, and headaches.
