I damaged my psoas muscles 3 years ago hanging out laundry. Such a simple movement generated a world of agony! A very knowledgeable myotherapist pinpointed the issue very quickly and gave me pretty much all the same advice as is found here in this video. Mainstream medicine had no idea what the problem was. I manage my psoas issues with a combination of exercises and the acupressure work of a very skilled kinesiologist I have the privilege of knowing. She can affect release of my psoas muscles by placing one finger on my hip and another on my foot. The relief is immediate! You really don't know just how dysfunctional your body is until somebody helps you to get it working better. Thanks for sharing this info. It affects far more people than mainstream will admit.

I had to dig through my history to find your video again. I did this because I just had to tell you that you have saved my life. I was suicidal on and off for years due to unrelenting back pain. Did lots of PT (didn't really help) and my MRI showed a couple of things (I had it done about 3 years after I most certainly herniated a disc) but nothing very significant. Your sentence of "if you have a herniated disc that doesn't seem to heal it's usually your psoas" is what changed my life. You and another KZitemr allowed me to target my psoas and my pain is SO. MUCH. BETTER. To the point where I can play with my daughter, pick her up and just live life not in a depression fog due to chronic pain. I can't express how grateful I am, and I wish I could give you a huge hug!

Wow. Comments like this make it all worthwhile for me. I too had a prolonged back injury and it was really frustrating. I'm so happy that you found something that helped, it is such a relief to be free of nagging back pain. People don't understand how it badly it can affect your quality of life. The mental stress that it causes to not be able to engage in sports, hobbies, and day to day stuff is the worst. I always talk with my patients about how relieving pressure is the first step and strengthening it is the second. Hip thrusts are my personal favorite for prolonged relief and building that resilience to future injury, so don't miss out on that part. That's what really allowed me to get back to sports and martial arts, etc... Thank you so much for finding the channel again and taking the time to comment! -Dr. Ryan

Chiropractors are not a solution they are a bandaid. They will make you feel better temporarily and only for a short time at that. Please go find a physical therapist like this guy in your area who will help you figure out what you need to target and help build you up so that you are not longer experiencing pain. Just be warned that if you go back to the way you were often times the pain will come back. Even if they conclude you don't need more appointments you should still continue the proscribed routine and even increase resistance band strength as time goes on. I regret not keeping with my routine, but interestingly enough the part of my back that hurts is around where I felt pain after a lifting injury.

A huge problem with chiros is that they treat everybody's skeleton as if all the muscles and ligaments have been through the same journey and assume a certain adjustment will have the same effect. If you are chronically tight and weak from sitting too much, your body will respond so much differently to someone who doesn't sit a lot and is really active. Both people can for example, have SI joint dysfunction and if the chiro twists and forces your body around on a table you can't expect the same result. Remember that it is the soft tissue pulling you out of "alignment" . Start with the soft tissues

This has been a God-send! I've had low back pain for years that would really flare up once or twice a year, to the point that I was immobilized for at least a week. I spend most of day moving around, but I've been a runner for 30 years and my hip flexors are tight. I never made the connection until I stumbled across your video today. Great timing, because I've been in severe pain since last week. I did the Runner's stretch tonight for a couple minutes and the difference from just that little bit was astounding! My husband said, "What did you do? You couldn't walk an hour ago and now you are running up the stairs!"

It's good to see more of this stuff surfacing, I discovered Eric Goodman's Foundation Training years ago and it saved me from a lifetime of agony and wasted money. A few years ago, everyone assumed low back pain meant bad back mechanics - do lots of stretches! The real problem was horrible HIPS from sitting all day. Like this video shows, you need to fix your hips and massively strengthen everything involving your legs and hips to fix your back. After years, I am still rehabilitating my horrible hips. I still have zero degrees of internal rotation, tons of latent external rotation. I probably won't ever fix it, but at least the muscles are all strong enough to not have back pain anymore.

@StraightUpSpineandPosture

Yes, the best follow-up after the psoas is moving properly is to begin strengthening the glute max. We do NOT recommend glute bridges or many of the normal "glute" exercises. We want an exercise where the glute is maximally shortened at maximum load, without back activation. The only exercise to fit that bill is the "American hip thrust" (I don't name these). Check out our video on that. It is also my #1 favorite exercise just for the simple enjoyment of moving some big weight without pain!

There is no magic bullet for long-term chronic back pain but boy this takes me from level six and seven pain down to a four and if you’ve been dealing with long-term pain you know that significant. I use a stretching band and a heating pad every day and I am definitely going to be including these in my daily function program.

I believe I have diastesis recti and anterior pelvic tilt. I have been to chiropractic and physical therapy but still in mild to moderate pain especially when standing for prolonged times. I pulled my back past November. MRI revealed that I have Degenerative disc disease, hypertrophy of flavum ligament, stenosis and bulging of L3-5 with L5 nerve compression on the right. My pain has subsided a lot after taking muscle relaxants, oral steroids, NSAIDs etc I saw a different chiropractor yesterday who identified that my PSOAS is the major cause of all my problems and performed manual PSOAs release which was very painful 😭😭 but I will continue therapy with him 1-2x a week. My lower back feels tight and very uncomfortable. My jobs requires STANDING 90% of the time but I currently cannot stand for more than 30 minutes before my lower back pains returns with tightness, spasm sometimes. I get a huge relief by sitting or lying down. I believe the BACK PSOAS MUSCLES IN front of the spine that attach to the femur is the culprit. I already ordered Pso-rite. What stretches and exercises would you recommend for the PSOAS muscles in the back?

I think you may well have provided an unbelievably important insight for me. I've been dealing with an ailment for the past two months. First, it was diagnosed as an Inguinal Ligament issue. Then Piriformis Syndrome. (I'm a writer, I sit a lot. A LOT.) I definitely have pronounced Sciatica, because I've had it before, and I know what it feels like. But there's another issue at play, one that often impacts me enough to leave me in tears. I've been wondering if it's a 'groin' issue. It's funny; when the practitioner at the rehab place I went to began explaining what was wrong, I offered up the Psoas and the ITB. I was waved off, and a teeny-tiny regimen was prescribed. After watching this video, I think I have to incorporate your suggestions. Fingers crossed.

@@probitionate You're welcome. We try not to provide any medical advice on specific cases on our channel, so be sure to talk to a physician or qualified therapist. Having said that, I might be able to point you in the right direction and you could get evaluated for one of these pathologies if it seems to fit. Anterior groin pain can either come from the joint or some soft tissue in the region. Sharp pain that occurs when you bring your knee to chest and then across the body suggests a possible labral pathology. This test is called the FADIR test, you can find a video and try it on yourself or have someone help. A more general but consistent pain in the area might indicate a pathology known as a sports hernia (it isn't really a hernia). Sports hernias are most common in soccer and hockey athletes, and may be associated with Femoral Acetabular Impingement Syndrome (FAI). Sports hernias are thought to occur due to an imbalance between the abs and the adductors (squeeze the inner thighs together). Regardless, most anterior hip/groin pathologies are a natural consequence of prolonged anterior pelvic tilt and the associated "lower cross syndrome" pattern of muscular tension (tight hip flexors, weak glutes, tight back muscles, weak abdominals). Restoring a nice neutral pelvis can really provide some lasting relief. Typical medical management might be MRI imaging (can be very useful sometimes) or an injection (can be helpful in diagnosis rather than as a therapeutic treatment). Non-traditional management may include shockwave therapy, dry needling, or PRP/prolotherapy. We currently do not have any tip mechanism setup. We appreciate the offer and the engagement with our channel.

@@StraightUpSpineandPosture Thank you for your anterior tilt insights & the way you described this. In an anatomy book (with spiral binding, Andrew Biel's, I think) he says in 40% of people the psoas attaches to the anterior pelvic rim (pubic area). I sense he's correct. What do you feel about this site of Psoas attachment? And why only 40% of the population have it? I like your presentation. Thanks, Rebeca

Thank you for creating this video with bundle of awesome stretches. I really enjoyed all information and your style of communication. On a visual note (if I may) it may be of much improvement to use some contrasting colors as dark table background and dark clothing blend to one, not alowing to see areas detailed movements you presented. Defining with contrast (dark tabletop with brighter clothing) would help. I look forward to other videos you will produce and forward to my friends. Many thanks!

Great video, glad a found your channel. I have a back injury from 38 years ago, I’m a road cyclist and the lower compression after rides the stretching of this muscle is essential for me to function. Knowing your body and what works for you is a big thing for me, I’ve years of experience and some exercises like lunges I can’t do and a detached ACL in my right knee others too. Keeping your weight down is a massive positive. Subscribed! Thanks dude.

Correct, we do not want to pull on the strap too hard. The pelvis should stay under the body keeping the chest on the ground, NOT lifting it up into a cobra pose. Another great alternative is the couch stretch which we have another video on to stretch it out the same way. Do everything with caution, start easy, and be in control the entire time.

I've struggled with my psoas for years using stretches and ice (heat bad!). There's just nothing quite like the psoas firing off in a spasm and realizing your torso and face are rapidly hinging towards a surface! Going to have to add the exercises to my routine. edit: I'm actually on my feet most of the day walking and lifting/carrying heavy objects for work, though I used to sit...

Heat is bad? I’ve been having terrible back pain because of the psoas, I’ve been using heat every night on my back. I don’t know what to do. At this point it affects every minute of every day.

@@Kthb80 For your psoas, stretching it, strengthening other weak muscles, and fixing bad movements/ergonomic habits will do you best. For the temporary relief, try just cold (ice pack in a towel) or alternating heat and cold on your lap and very low gut while lying down. That's where the problem is, and heat on the back seems to relax the back and allow the spoas to get worse (my observation). You can try some light massage or stripping in the area on either side of your crotch (upper leg to low gut). I always have trouble with going to the bathroom during an attack too, so being hydrated and maybe taking a light stool softener to help might be something to try. Everything down there is muscle and nerve bundle, after all.
