With this in mind Azure, do you, or anyone else, have any advice for ongoing psoas issues?

I am very fit and athletic, do all the right stretches recommended by professionals, have seen chiros and physio, have no stomach fat and a very strong core- yet still have problems. Im pretty sure it is a psoas issue and not misdiagnosed sciatica, but someone did suggest that to me...

It could be said that I am overdoing it between the amount of golf I play and workouts (essentially doing one or the other every day of the week in the summer, gym 4 days a week in winter), which seem to inflame the muscle, but taking it easy for extended periods of time doesn't seem to help either. I don't want to make it seem like its completely debilitating all the time as it is intermittent, although it can get really bad if I miss my stretches or take a bit of a slip etc- in those cases I get a bit of a bow shaped torso and and am in pretty good pain.

edit: I should mention that I am performing exercises that target the hip flexor area- wonder if this is doing more harm than good?
