Why Your Psoas + Hip Flexors Won't Release
The psoas is a complex muscle and often blamed for virtually everything that goes wrong in the body, but it's often overemphasized without looking at the various factors that control the tension. In this video I'll cover the most common reasons why psoas release work doesn't last, and why it keeps coming back regardless of how many times you use various gizmos to try to force it to lengthen.

Psoas is our worst performing muscle.
Speaking the truth! Asking why a muscle is tight in the assessment process- love that perspective. Thanks for sharing
Thats great, thanks Sam. Another reminded to not over simplfy and to look at bigger picture of problem.
A fair video with no jumping to exercises. Absolutely great!!!
This is SO helpful as a massage therapist who sees a lot of clients complaining about hip/low back pain. Thank you for sharing this as I'm trying to increase my knowledge and be a better practitioner.
This is exactly what’s going on with me, thank you for the insight. 🙏
Extremely helpful in understanding the issue as a whole not a part.
Very important info here. Thank you. 🙏🏻Finally I understood why my left hips are more “open” and also learnt why not to talk loads of BS to my clients about psoas stretches🙏🏻
The rants were the best parts . Great information
Very insightful and refreshing to have an all encompassing understanding of how to approach this. Thank you.
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.
Awesome. People always forget that there is a body attached to their psoas. I am going to a PT who has assessed my psoas and yes, it's in spasm and he is working with me now to do strengthening and stretches to help alleviate the problem.
Awesome video, I do Holistic Integrated Armor Release tech for 20 years now and that was really a great video, thank you
This wasn't a rant, my dear. It was important intel that all of us need. As you stated, the human body and nervous system do some (magical - my words) compensatory action so the body 'performs'. This is so important. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

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!

Im elated to have found your channel. I knew there was way more to " psoas release" because no matter what i do , my psoas hurts daily as well as my spinal erectors and sacrum. Thank you so much for providing your audience with authenticity and clear , concise information so we can better address and correct pain.
Thankyou much appreciated. My situation is multiple factors, internal injuries, external forces, overloaded communication with an overburdened and overtaxed system. Hypertonicity in my neck, complete with problems with the coccyx once upon a time was shattered then became reinjured and not giving up. Old spinal fractures. My body is sending out an alarm, goes into survival mode and responds, I learn Also how nature heals and deals with things. But I am in remission and became knowledgeable and aware what's going on and also how it heals and became gifted at healing, learnt so much about health. I am learning what that means cause no one can tell me. This helps heaps. Hypertonicity is horrible, overtime it does release when you learn to live with it, but not fully.
I found this video very insightful. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. You are the type of practitioner I aspire to be
That's an excellent assessment especially the pain relationship and explainer.

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 am in a similar situation, as well, minus the surgeries as someone else mentioned above. In my case, aside from the scoliosis I am also having problems with my right shoulder so I believe that somehow my left hip is trying to compensate something. Now I am wondering if by at least having surgery on my shoulder may also help with my hip because at least my scoliosis never gave any problems before.🤔🫤
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.

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.

I have scoliosis also and spina bifida occulta. Never did anything to try to support my spine as I age with this condition and now at 40, bam, all of a sudden I’m realizing having pain just alike to the skeleton wherein each and every red area on the right side of my body IS all related. It’s wild to see it on a skeleton. I’m also 55 pounds over weight. There have been times that I have worn a shoe on only my left foot and walked around the house all day like that and bam all of my pain released. Thanks for the info!!!
Well that just showed me and taught me more than any other video on here. And made so much more sense. Has also enabled me to now know if the ‘expert(s)’ that I ask to assess me going forward know what they are talking about too, saving me time and money, I’m sure, in that process.

I’ve always been told this is a lot of my problem. I’ve gone through four different beds over the last 15 years. My #1 complaint is I can’t sleep on my side because it feels like I’m falling forward. I also have hip pain that only allows me to lay straight so I adjust and readjust to take the pressure off the hip. 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. My therapist we’re getting somewhere with some things but not others. I had a knee replacement in August. HAD A SCS Implant on my Ty side MY BACK 3 years ago. There’s more I’ll let know later. The puzzle is sort of coming together. Thank you for listening.

Great video. I dislocated my right femur when I was around 12-13 years old (I'm 44 now) and it's caused several on and off long term annoyances.

I've done a ton of research over the years and you've really shed a ton of new light on how to approach this, thank you!

@SamVisnic
7 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.
All mine is from a perineal subluxation at age 18 - when you’re young you don’t feel fatigue from a compensation pattern - it feels like you bounced back. You didn’t… then at middle age the compensating muscles and ligaments wear out too and all heck breaks loose. Now I have permanent right hip hike and rotated pelvis with right leg turned out from 30 years of making sure I don’t roll that ankle. It goes all the way up to my neck and jaw now - protecting that ankle ruined my entire kinetic chain.
Awesome,very helpful.

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.
Thanks for the video. I have a labral tear in my left hip, my psoas and other muscles around the hip tighten up after 30 minutes of any activity including walking and sitting. Do you have any videos for additional help with this issue?

Thankyou so much I’ve had serve injuries and surgeries and now burning my nerves off, damage my neck 2009, had fusion, then another as swelling of the nerves I was loosing or lost some hand, also had r Rotar cuff repair 3 times, was awaiting to get left shoulder repaired when I tripped at my back door, insurance refused to do an extra mow due to weather change, I tripped fell forward put both hands out to brace and landed on left knee, so did not even completely fall to the ground, but omg the pain all over my body, I was put onto steroids, my doctor left, new doctor refused to treat my injuries which were covered by workers comp, i could not walk properly after the fall, some days better than others, eventually got do bad my daughter came to farm took me into a major hodpital, I complained I think it’s coming from my knee but it’s in my lower back, I had spasm everywhere, they done cat scan said I’d re broken L2, which in 1987 crushed L2 Brock L3 L2 they said was like an egg shell crushed up, 75% in spinal canal 3 surgeons 9 hr Surgury up and about again took a few years but back to my life had children worked manual out doors farm race horses, anyway I was on the mend until tripping at my back door, a yr later learn broke L2 few day in hospital drugs up I was off my head, came home to my daughter could not drive to drugged, went back to drugs I can handle and can drive on, went to a physio I was was walking like a crab, she said after laying me down my hip was locked up, held my in a position hurt like hell, told me to get up, and omg there was nothing wrong with me, amnyway I’ve damaged muscles nerves thrre blaming authritus but I know it is not, because it can release in blink of an eye, sadly the release now is only for a few minutes, before I was getting weeks, then days then hrs now down to the odd few minutes if I’m lucky, it burns up my back about to middle of back only right side, severe pain in my groin, radiating down to knee and now ankle and the burning down front of my thigh just bloody pain 24/7 this psaos makes so much sense like peraformis etc it’s very deep
I have just had to have a total hip replacement due to hip muscles not functioning properly due to - I believe - a side impact car accident where I also shattered two ribs. I can honestly say I tried EVERYTHING to get my hip muscles to relax. The only thing that I found helped- sadly too late for the need for the replacement - was to lay on my front and just gently stretch up leaving my hips on the floor. And yes - I am left handed and left hip! So wish I had seen this video after my car accident!

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?

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.

And it’s been 8 years of this now, 26 years old. I believe my psoas is in constant spasm trying to protect that tear. Injections in those areas and doctors agree. Do you think fixing that laberal tear with surgery in there release that psoas tension? Thanks
So Awesome !!! Fairly new LMT but how I perform my massages .. so intrigued by nervous system and electrical circuit .. muscles are just the dog bites
Hi sam your video is me to a tee ,my right shoulder drops a bit and gets very tight ,i am right, hand dominate and also have a anterior tilt pelvis and my right side rotates.
6:30 You've described my exact problem to a T! Most likely Including occlusion problems as well. What would be my best resource in regards to knowledge (textbooks, articles, programs) as well as which specialists to go to?
You’re video explains my condition straight on. When I look in the mirror my right shoulder sets lower. I lean to my right when driving and if I set up straight in a chair my left pelvis bone digs in the seat and I can put my fingers under the right one. Occasionally have right knee pain. The left side is tighter and weaker. Do you know what exercises or stretches I need to incorporate?
Ty!
Awesome video !

Thank you. Much appreciated.
You just explained lateral hip rotation and the correlating effects of this so well I now fully understand this issue. I was iffy about it after finishing Massage Therapy school but this just cleared that up. Awesome!

thank you for this video. So what if a person has no one to go to after seeing over a dozen different professionals. Chiropractors, physical therapists, physiotherapist, occupational Dr's, massage therapists. How can I figure it out? how can I get my body to work how it's supposed to? How can I help myself?

I have had back, hip, groin,inner thigh and knee pain for 2 years. After various neurologists blaming everything on my MS i asked a osteopath to see what was up with my knee as i cant straighten it. After explaining i thought i had a hernia, he pressed beneath my left hip and immediately said my psoas was tight aand massaged it. The next 5 days hey presto no pain. Pain came back today on the 6th day. What or who do i go to,in uk, to do an assessment and advise me as doctors over her just gave me naproxen to get me on my way!
