In my 30+ years of Medical massage working with this problem, Iliopsoas is one of the most ignored muscle systems in the body, both by the medical community and Physical Trainers. Even in common surgery to fix Spodylothesis, the medical community ignores the cause of the problem and instead chooses to fuse the lower lumbar spine together further restricting the movement of the lower lumbar spine in addition to the pelvis. They have yet to figure out that if you loosen the Iliopsoas that the Spondylothesis with go away. In doing so, the patient is further restricted and the lower lumbar is incapable of movement therefore the Iliopsoas become even more tight and instead of just anteriorly rotating the pelvis, now pulls the whole lower spine forward cause the patient to bend forward and all hip flexors are now in a shortened position. Only through consistent stretching and retraining of this muscle system will the patient receive any relief. Muscle memory is a thing.

that one is my case!!. spine doctors told me to go under an artrodhesis(lumbar fusion) but i refuse to. I discovered by myself by analysing my MRI, TC and x ray that i had L5 spondylothesis and was rotated to right side because of shortened psoas. I said this to the spine doctors and they ignored it and said it had nothing to do with that. The pain was strong. Then i started to work on stretching, strenghtening, and a lifestyle change like sleeping better, meditation, relaxation, etc, and pain has gone 80%. No surgery needed. Also My posture has improved a lot.

Following an accident I was in a recliner for months and now have titanium hardware in C4-7 and L 3-5. I also have central cord syndrome as well. As I've recovered I have felt like my pelvis is rotated with a weird gait, kinda like a jacknife gait. No amount of PT etc has improved anything. I have been using several of your videos and this one is the most helpful. I strongly feel like peeps who have been rehabbed in a recliner post-op, post injury are developing syndromes with glutes and psoas. No one seems to be aware of such a phenomena but it's real. Thanks for great videos.

What you have just explained in this video should be a foundational starting point for any phsysio, RMT, rolfer, osteopath, chiropractor etc. A complete understanding of this tendancy in any level of repetitive sport is absolutey crucial in development of the athlete. I was haunted by left side rotation and weakness over a lenghty career in cycling. When my pelvis was straight my wattage output was exceptional and endurance over any given workout much greater. As an adolescent I spent my years of growth on a skateboard which imbalanced my pelvis muscles and ligaments. I dearly paid for that later on a bicycle. Can you please do a video on that very thing and how one might avoid this unbalanced development and ways for young athletes to keep their body in a balanced state. The other discovery a young athlete needs to make is that the pelvic floor is the centre of their universe for every single action regardless of sport. This video connects the dots in a way that overy many years of seeking help from so called professionals could not. THANK YOU for your insights and attention to detail.

You sure. Tight hip flexors cause excessive lordosis. Tight hamstrings and weak elongated hip flexors will cause a flat lumbar spine. Overstretched hamstings and short hanstrings will pull the glutes and hamstrings down and that will give you a flat back with swayback posture. It's very similar and easy to confuse. I have tight hip flexor on the left (anterior tilt and the posterior on the right side). I'm lost in all of it too lol

Hi. My left Psoas has been too tight and causing major pain in my left abdomen and left side of my body (from ribs to abdomen to greater trochanter area and top of left thing), it’s also seriously pulling on my left lumbar facets, ribs and feels like it’s pulling my hip apart and I get terrible hip/buttock pain, side of hip tfl area and pain into that outer left thigh and it band area. it also causes bad cramps during my cycle and GI issues. I have several rounds of physiotherapy and chiropractor adjustments/help. this has been going on for 3 years. I can’t sit for very long, driving is hard and I am just in constant terrible pain. Exercises like this give me a bit of relief but not lasting and I am miserable. This has been going on for 3 years ever since I had my gallbladder out and a hernia repair at the same time in which the physician permanently sutured my abdomen together in order to close me. Basically tightened my abs but didn’t do the full tummy tuck so I have a lot skin that pulls as well. I am miserable. I’ve been to so many doctors. not once did this come up but I have known it’s my psoas for some time. the only relief I get is laying on a psoas release or jamming something to press hard to hard on that muscle (like part of a broom stick or something with leverage) and holding it there until I can get it to somewhat relax. doesn’t seem like this issue will ever stop nor heal. It has affected my quality of life and I am in bed alot now as I can’t sit for long. Help?! what do people do that are past this point? what kind of doctor should i see? no specialists in my area have been helpful, including my original surgeon. I have seen pain specialists, several GI and general surgeons and told my primary care doctor and ob gyn about it. Xrays are normal and they claim my MRI’s are normal except for some lumbar bulging discs. I am sure the constant tightness is taking a toll on my spine. I am in California and tired of living like this. 😢 Any help, hope, recommendations, advice would be greatly appreciated. Exercises don’t fix it. When I get relief, all I have to do is sit or drive or lift my dog or baby nephews and it comes right back 😢. Please 🙏 any ideas?

Otherwise u cant get the full motion in these exersices and fight agains your muscles... I got it from leg injury when securing the leg by over using it in the air and under using it in the floor contact. The hurdles strech is the key and consentrating on the bend leg.

Because I really can’t comprehend which area should I work on first. I did that standing capsule stretch and felt better the very first day but now I realise I have a tight psoas as well for obvious reasons. Should I continue working on the femur internal rotation first before focusing on the tight psoas? Really appreciate your input. TIA

This is so good! I've seen countless doctors and specialists over a low back, possible SI joint and confirmed bulge between L5-S1 and I even got an MRN which found more interesting things like hip impingement on one side near the ball and socket joint (I think right side but I have to double check). The possible SI injury I felt on my right side but I've noticed that the pain may sometimes shift to the left side of my pelvis. It's almost never on both sides of the pelvis. Right side most of the time. Like you just wanna get in there with a knife and cut it out. I investigated so many things. Is it piraformis? Is it sciatica? The MRN confirmed the nerve issue is not related to the performis. My classic symptoms are a nerve pain on the right side and my left foot feeling somewhat numb. Part of that could be from an old ankle injury I suffered which caused the muscle near the ankle to atrophy. I really think that is a significant factor. Since that was a ligament issue, my guess is the ligaments are either loose and or maybe I lost a ligament. I really should confirm it. The only thing you can do for it is strengthen the surrounding muscle (calf). Maybe an injection of some sort in the area could regrow or repair what was once lost or weak (the ligaments). Not sure. Anyway, on this long journey, I only found one specialist who basically told me what I need to do to fix it. He noticed I had dead glutes, as I was using my lower back to lift my leg in that donkey kick position or think camel/cow in yoga and lifting your leg back and up to the ceiling. He told me stop following all these cat and MRI scans. Stop with the injections in your SI. I need to work on my glutes. He can see the tightness in my back and noticed that my left side didnt move so much but my right side did and we need to get the left side moving to take the pressure off of the right side. I am a righty. Ironically, I've always felt my right side was stiff and my left side was loose (like in the neck and shoulder area) but I've been told by specialists it's the opposite. I've had a neck injury from sports that caused a bulging disc. I feel like it still plays a part and pulls my right side, making it tighter than my left and that's why I feel looser in my neck and shoulder area on the left but maybe it's because I'm a righty all along. Anyway, back to this horse whisperer. He explained what I needed to do, all these different exercises we went over. Dude was good. It's hard to find someone who really knows what the heck they're talking about. It took a while to find him but he helped me out so much and I may want to see him again. I've beefed up my glutes significantly and still work on isolation movements for my left and right glutes to get them to fire. I think I still have some anterior pelvic tilt but working on my core and glutes has taken some of the pressure off of my lower back. My upper back is still tight as it pulls my chest. I've always known about it being short. But I never realized it's because of rib flare and that ties into anterior pelvic tilt and your hips and psoas! I'd stretch and massage my psoas and there was relief but it was never long lasting. And that's because that whole pevlic area gets tight again because of muscle and possibly skeletal imbalance but it's so complicated to pick apart and find the root or root causes. Well, now I think I have the answer. Rib flare and anterior pevlic tilt. Not breathing correctly and need to work smarter on strengthening my core and glutes and then try to address tight lower back and tight quads and hips. I went to another specialist who was really, really good but she didnt figure out the root cause. She did show me other things which reflect back to rib flare, although she never explained that to me. She just knew that my left side seemed stronger and more stiff than my right side. She believed it's related to her diagnosis of me having my left leg slightly longer than my right leg and said I should wear a lift on my right shoe, even in the house. She may be right about the unequal length. I still feel like maybe it's something else, something with my pelvis not being aligned evenly, as opposed to one leg longer than the other. She noticed my ribs were tight and not in the right positions and was able to see that a couple of ribs were tied to my lower back and pelvis and adjusted them. That sucked. I think it helped for a bit but the ribs went back into the previous state. And that's probably because, although I didn't know and she didnt know at the time, I wasnt breathing correctly and addressing the root cause of what I know now as rib flare. And I could feel that pressure wrap around my right hip from my back to my right groin. You could draw a straight line from the right SI joint area in my back to the front and those would be the two end points. She also noticed my hamstrings were tight and short my knees also were affected. That goes back to my pelvis and glutes. Glutes being long and weak and pelvis being injured and tight and short and, of course, that muscle imbalance will cause my hamstrings, knees, and all that to handle more load than it should to compensate for the muscular imbalance. But I didnt get closer to the answer until I saw the other specialist (both are PT but like yoda level of understanding the body and how to adjust) with the glutes and core being long and weak and the back and front quads and pevlic area being tight and short (not necessarily weak but probably). This won't get solved overnight. I need to focus on stretching and massage and breathing properly and strengthening. I always think stretch, massage, strengthen, but we never include breathing in that rehab process. Now I know it's vital for your psoas, your hips, back, ribs, all of it. I'd like to try and see if I can fix it and then reassess if the ribs move back because of supposedly unequal length or I still have anterior pelvic tilt and one side of the pelvis is lower than the other, due to another issue or set of issues and not because unequal length.

I had this for over 10+ years and one day i was walking and just started to recognize and feel how i walked and i somewhat drew my right leg a bit snd lifted it if you understand. Did this as long as i can remember after an injury and when i walked and didnt concentrate or looked to my sides i always drifted left and couldnt walk in a straight line. This one day i started to also feel and recognize how i walked with my left side and somewhat forcefully not so it hurted but started to try an walk the same way with my right side. After about 500 meters of walking i felt very tired in my right hip. Then i started to stand still Infront of my mirror at home and lean a bit right and press my right hip to the ground so my hips were symmetrical. After about 2 days my hip started to hurt very much in my muscles like a muscle knot in my back but a little bit more intense. I understood it was opening and continued with this in about 2-3 days the pain was totally gone. At this time i started to strech my hips and the pain came back so i stretched more and walked right how you should and about 2-3 weeks later i could walk in a straight line without problem. Felt more balanced and now 6 months later i have started to train my hip muscles and i have 0 problem if i maintain the streching but if i dont strech for few weeks the pain comes back but almost cannot feel it so i think i just need to strengthen and lenghten the muscle of course its shorter and weaker after 10+ years so maybe in a year it will be as God intended it to be hopefully.

For me issue is caused by driving in heavy traffic. Tight right side, because all muscles on the front of my right leg are tense all the time, toes up/down/up/down all the time. It also translates into problem with tendon below knee cap, slight knee pain.

omg my psoas r always a bit painful when i sit hours for lectures n i kept stretching it after at the beginning. but after some time i realize maybe they’re too weak so i did some strengthening exercises. it started to hurt less n ive noticed it’s always the left side only, ive only did exercises for the right leg to “balance it out”. finally someone is explaining it

Tried this. So complicated! Didn’t work. The Postural Restoration Institute teaches overcomplicated solutions. It’s a money milking institution. There is an easier solution. To release the psoas on the left side, strengthen the glutes on the left side. Weak glutes = overcontracted psoas. They are antagonistic muscles. Strengthen the left glutes and the left psoas will release. Simples.

Hi, Conor! Thank you for the immense help so far! Do you have any advice on how to sleep when one hip is more forward than the other, because of tight psoas? Sometimes, immediately after I wake up I have the pain in the psoas..

I'm quite sure the reason that at age 50 I'm having (muscular?) hip pain on my *right* side, is because that's the leg that's been operating the pedals when I drive a car, which I've been doing just about daily for 30 years. These days I make a point of using cruise control at every safe opportunity; unfortunately not an option in stop-and-go traffic, or on city streets.

When you pop up in the board the left leg become aways short together with hip flexor and psoas (because i am regular base). I'm doing this exercises but also giving the psoas a huge stretch and using foam roller on the quads and Fl band. Really helps.

After 30+ years of pelvic twisting from a year of repeated injuries to the SI Joint, last year a severe case of Trendelenburg Gait manifested. The left hip and leg structure simply locked up. Eight months of PT later, still had deep muscle pain and pinching sensation. Started the Beginner Body Restoration program 5 weeks ago and got immediate relief with the exercises. Still working on the muscles recognizing the corrected patterns. This program has been a Godsend for me! Plan to do Lower Limb next. Thank you Conor!!

Great explanation that sounds right to me. I'll keep on with the exercises. I experience relief from stretching into the groin area on the left. I get relief with the classic one-foot kneeling and stretching into the hip. I think yours will help me retrain but with my wooden floor I tend to push myself away from the wall. I do think you're onto it though! I get some real benefit from intentionally being carefree with the relevant leg, the left, and not protecting it, trusting in walking freely. Leg pain is better and often it goes away for a month or more.

I have APT, bilateral AVN in both femoral heads, torn labrum’s and decreased cartilage. My lower back constantly aches and feels like my body is being chopped in half. Doctors keep telling me Im a complex case, especially since I have stenosis my L1-T12. I want to try these exercises but I’m so afraid to do them on my own. I had my first PT visit today and I’m in soooo much pain. I need serious help. I keep telling my surgeon I feel like they are missing something!! Im having new MRIs for my lumbar spine, pelvis and right hip. I’m desperate for help. It is ruining my life.

My rightside pops when I try to do 90 90 position - I did have FIA but have 'fixed' this (with a course) and the exercises left me with a popping hip on the right, I am working on exercises for the soas - but on both sides. Do you mean that my right hip is placed too far forwards? I have a prosetic knee on the left so it could mean that I have been leaning on the right hip more for 12 years? Should I do these exercices or your others?

Had a couple of cycling accidents a few years ago - not sure whether that caused it. But I also run track a lot which is always going left so it might be that?
