Notes - Felt pretty good at most times today.  Definitely now realize the impact of the tight Psoas on the L side.  This is absolutely a major contributor to what is going on.  Did some direct lacrosse ball work on it, rolling on my stomach, both sides, and was immediately surprised at the relief.  Have to keep doing some work on this.  Really kind of hit me right in the face that this is big - as usual, site of the discomfort in the low back is likely not the real trouble zone, it's the psoas.  It's a tough muscle to get at.  I could definitely use some professional massage work but my guy Marty is in the UK until early August.   I should probably reach out to Dave, my friend and bodyworker / acupunturist as he could work on the psoas directly.
