I am so most appreciative that you have taken the time to show this video. I have been in pain for years with that nerve pinching feeling on my left leg into my groin area and no one has ever addressed it. It's obvious they just didn't know. I'm so thankful!!! thank you😢
Omg ty I've been suffering from back pain and was told it was tight so I've been stretching with no relief. I tried this and notice my psoas is weak. Just started doing this in hopes it works
He explains how you can do the second exercise with tubing and an anchor over a door. That shouldn't be too expensive or difficult to set up for a motivated individual. You could also just do the first exercise and progress it by adding a weight(bag of rice or whatever you have that works) on top of your leg.
Thank you thank you thank you!! I’ve been arguing this exact issue with my manual PT. I was a body builder. I know muscles like to be used; not sit unused for month’s! Dealing with issues in this content and others, after car accident; and stopped lifting. Will try these.
Using a muscle daily is natural and normal. How hard one works it is the issue. With my personal clients, I aim to find exercises that are super low intensity, and the chosen movement can be done for up to 2 minutes with minimal fatigue. This will allow for daily (and even multiple times per day) training, and expedite results. As exercises are progressed to more intensity, frequency is reduced accordingly. As always, however, this all depends on the unique situation.
Hello sam...first, thank you for your clear, instructive videos...i have just found yr channel and trying (as it seems many are) to pinpoint my hip issues. Which have been going on for a good few years....after seeing many various people/watched videos etc...problem is restricted movement/pain in left hip àrea...first it was groin, then dull pain in buttock. After sitting for a while it can block temporarily. Sometimes sensation reaches knee and below. Much less mobilty left side....have traditionally been very flexible, but now learning that stretching not going to help and that i need to strengthen . Would love to get to the cause of it...Anyway, just wondered what yr thoughts are on mild scoliosis being a factor...if lower back shows a bit of curvature, could this pull the psoas muscle out of alignment, causing the pain and reduced mobilty in the whole area affecting piriformis and other muscles? Going to watch more of yr vids and keep researching and check out yr website. Thanks
Just what I needed the really low intensity exercise with the sliders on the floor. I tried all the others including the chair but the we're all to high intensity.
There isn't really any way to determine that. The question really is first and foremost whether or not its able to reach full normal range of motion (see other video for assessment). Then, is it painful on contraction or not. Pain during contraction would likely lead to inhibition for obvious reasons. Overactive is assumed if it is short (can't get full range of motion) especially during simple stretches or techniques such as massage + contract/relax stretching.
Would this be good for a leg that is functionally shorter do to muscular imbalances? That particular side also about 5 months ago I started getting knee crepitus. Left leg/hip feels unstable, right side is the functionally shorter/tighter. Thank you
Andrew v5402: You sound like you might have more A&P knowledge so the talking is more than what YOU need. But others might need more explanation. Bare with that cause other people need help too. Be careful not to turn off your listening. A lot of people do these exercises and movements incorrectly because they miss important steps.
@@sherilynschneider I didn't say he shouldn't talk! I said he does too much talking, big difference. There are other channels where they explain different exercises for the PSOAS and do it concisely without being too verbose. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, right?
