EXACTLY what I have been living for the past 11 years!! Thank you for expressing it in a video. And yes! I have the big hook!! Two car wrecks 11 and 13 years ago - the second at high speed...has had my hips stuck for years. It's getting better and I am finally starting to feel the fascia unstick stuff. But it's been years of hot yoga (amazing!!), excercise classes, therapies, and swimming. AND it's been years of finding doctors that understand they physics of how the body works efficiently. As an engineer, this makes sense to me but most doctors are so myopic they look at me with total confusion!! which makes me totally sad and at a loss on where to go. Thank you for this video!

I can commiserate with this. 2 car accidents, neither my fault, both left lasting damage to my back and neck. I'm in civil engineering and have a very logic based, oriental thought process and it's infuriating when almost all Doctors either don't listen to symptoms or don't thoroughly explore the options. Their first answer is pill popping, the second is generic physical therapy if the xrays or MRI don't show anything. The worst part is usually their condescending attitude about it as if I'm just another hypochondriac or WebMD patient.

Really helpful approach especially for yoga teachers. We’re taught to focus on alignment and action in our poses and movements and while it’s helpful, I’ve always thought there’s no perfect or true alignment. And it’s more complex than we’ve ever been trained to understand. And the best thing we can do is keep wiggling our way through different planes to discover hidden tension to help it shift. And also get help from a therapist! Thanks for explaining this so well. It will help me to be a more informed and more compassionate teacher.

Thank You for this video. I've been to numerous orthopedists, PT's, and a physiatrist. I tell them that due to scoliosis my pelvis is off in all 3 dimensions (L/R, front/back, rotation), and tell them exactly where the pain is. As well as the ton of strengthening and stretching that I do (plus appropriate time off). They all do the exact same superficial analysis, or x-ray/MRI, clearly have no idea what is wrong, suggest the most basic strengthening or stretching exercises, or suggest cortisone injections. 5 years of pain. At year 4 I had a hip replacement because everyone said the pain MUST be due to the mild to moderate arthritis. I had my doubts, was pretty sure it was a movement and soft tissue and perhaps lifestyle (too much sitting when not exercising) issue but had run out of options. Surgery made it worse - R leg is now turned out, psoas area is inflamed probably from the exact internal rotation during movement that you mention. Many ortho & PT's in the past year. None of them have had the slightest clue. Much gaslighting about "it's all in your head", "you must not be doing enough" OR "give it a rest for a while", "give it tincture of time", "maybe it's fibromyalgia", "how about I put you on gabapentin or celebrex", "you need to be on an anti-anxiety medication", etc. In a corporate assembly line 20 minute visit world (in this case Kaiser), it is impossible to find a competent physician or PT. 2024 edit : a) not just Kaiser. I turned 65 & left Kaiser. Other companies & providers just as bad. b ) before leaving Kaiser it turned out that ultrasound guided trigger point injection to TFL/IT band/glute end point area did help a lot. Gee - why couldn't a dozen of you figure that out before I had a useless surgery ? This video is great.

I love your discussion on this topic. I subscribed instantly based on your understanding of the complexity of these human body equations that we are trying to figure out how to fix. I personally have suffered about five different car accidents where I have had medical and legal settlements because of the injuries I incurred, and it takes a long time and a lot of dedication to fix these things on your own. Even with having a physical therapist, it is rare to get the care that You actually need to heal yourself. The insurance companies do not want to pay the money that it takes to fix yourself and they do not want to pay for the expertise of the individual that is needed in order to facilitate the healing of many individuals. We need more good therapists. Thank you for putting this information out for free on the Internet.

Sam, thank you. Found this very educational. I often release my muscles through movement, mostly yoga and massage/release therapy (the latter through active methods), which have proved somewhat effective. Yet, I find certain areas (external right hip, right lumbar, right shoulder) return to tightness quicker than others. Your video makes me question whether I am not only releasing, but also strengthening through the right planes of movements. Im definitely a culprit for leg crossing right over left, sitting awkwardly in my chair at work, along with being right side dominant. Fascinating!

Not long after that an MRI showed I was born with a fused SI Joint and partial lower disc. I was told I inherited it from my mother. It is no longer fused at the SI joint at the time I was seen by an Orthopedic Dr. My bone density is in good health. I was told it may have happened and caused a burst? Never the less I know what I've been dealing with. Amazing how growing up as a competitive swimmer and volleyball player that I functioned at a high level without issue.

My psoas has been an issue for 30 years. I believe it’s because of my spine. I think it’s that my scoliosis in my lower spine is increasingly getting worse and the psoas is constantly stressed to protect it. I do have a hyper mobile hip but it’s not painful. You’re describing exactly my problem. My pelvis rotates to the right and forwards and my left leg rotates outwards.

Then I’m changing it one more time by placing a soft thick comforter and place under my hip. I understand it more but do not know what to do about it.

@@serator24anxiety is fear of something that might happen (depression is not coping with something that has happened) facing a current danger is real and neither of anxiety or depression. I do get what you are saying, push forward with your left side to shield yourself, but you also have things like a balance leg, which you stand on to put your trousers on, or to jump off, which is not anxiety based.

@@brucejensen3081 test yourself when you are whole and happy. Pain is gone. Tightness is gone. I don't want you to believe me. Stress, anxiety, depression...it is all mixed up. Core problem is unsolved emotional problems. Bad energy, supressed anger, lack of love. It all affect breathing. Diaphragm is linked to psoas. You can feel tightness in your abs also. Bad energy flow. Emotional state affect body posture. Look at molested dogs or other animals. They taking defence posture. Like a ball. Most people have chronical stress problem. This is sad reality of modern society. Our body is just lot of nervs interlinked. I tried every other solution fot years. Does not work. Save your time. If somebody want to solve problem, good place to start are books of dr Sarno and Steve Ozanich.

Your 'rant' about compensatory dynamics is exactly what I've been wondering about recently. I have had a slight-to-moderate 'foot drop' for twenty years, as a result of a sciatic injury, on the right side. i've recently been experiencing some pain in the front of the left hip/groin, especially when walking downhill. I've also noticed my right quad is about 2-3 cms bigger (circumference) than the left. Your 'rant' suggests maybe my right leg is working harder and is stronger than my left (i do a lot of hiking and backpacking), so my left psoas is compensating and in so doing is getting stronger and carrying more tension. As you point out, many PTs do not look at the entire integrated system, so i am wondering your thoughts on all this.

@SamVisnic
11 ай бұрын
Thank you. Long discussion, but quick general response: I don't believe emotions can be "trapped" anywhere. What I do believe, as pain neuroscience discusses, people may develop beliefs about their conditions, tension patterns, pain, etc. which may become part of their subjective experience. For instance, if someone is mis-informed about the fragility of a spinal disc bulge, the person may develop mild to severe kinesiophobia, which may cause heightened threat when performing movements or activities they perceive to potentially injure their disc. Thus, fear would be connected to the issue, but its from lack of education and understanding of the condition.

This was the best explanation I've heard about the psoas. I've been dealing/suffering for so long with this to the point of... I look forward to when my life is over. I'm 67 and have had MRI, CT scans, xrays, physical therapy, and too many offerings of different drugs from my doctor. The latest being Lasix. (All of which I refuse to take) Why? Because that won't fix the problem. Most likely they will cause more problems down the road. I am truly at a loss of where to go/turn. I just feel like I should be able to walk normally and haven't been able to figure out why it's so painful and difficult. I'm thinking it's what you're talking about.

I have numerous neurological conditions, including ataxia (from celiac disease), cervical (neck) dystonia, idiopathic right side weakness for over 15 years. 2 months ago, I sat too long and suddenly had femoral nerve pain. PT did a release that gave me instant relief. I knew that 15 years of these conditions my gate was getting worse. 2020 was the year of the slippers for me. That made things worse, in retrospect. My right foot started turning out, particularly the toes. My right knee turned in and so on. (I’ve never over pronated my feet/ankles) As a former runner this has been disheartening. I’m seeing 2 PT currently (same facility). One is a neurological focused PT; the other is an orthopedic PT. I’m going to request help with my overall gait and whole body mechanics. You didn’t mention the Iliacus muscle. Why?

I had an injury to my hip when I was younger, and I just let it go cause I thought it would heal?? Wrong, it popped up after a night of dancing or major walking activities. But now... my left leg stays permanently rotated in an outward position. It screams in pain when I try to rotate or move out of its set place positioning. I'm scared I've done permanent damage, but this video made me realize I need to get help! I'm only 40, and I can barely make it from the parking lot to the grocery store😭
