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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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. I'm grateful for your teachings and in depth knowledge! I have a better quality of life and still swim laps and flip turns thanks to all of your tips on recovery days. 🙂

    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.

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!

    Finally!!!! A plethora of information explaining why the heck I’ve had years of chronic right-sided iliopsoas issues! My goodness, prior to being diagnosed with it, I was dealing with snapping hip syndrome! I’ve learned some self techniques to help but lately, nothing is working! Going on 2 months of a tight right psoas negativity affecting my ability to perform a deep squat. It cause too much pain! I’ve been back and forth with a chiropractor to no avail. I have to see if my VA dr can refer to a good mobility therapist here in Dallas! I’d love more information on other suggestions you have to offer!

    Activate your core and tuck in your pelvis a little bit and then stretch down towards your toes and do this often. Do it until you reprogram. Had snapping hips, hip dysplasia and pelvic torsion. It takes time, but it will change

  • @SamVisnic

    @SamVisnic

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It feels so good to hear more about this. I have maybe an 11% curve. Sounds like not too big of a deal but it has been bothering me since childhood. I would purposely put my leg under my behind when sitting to even out my spine. That sounds weird. Anyway, I was trying to be a contortionist in order to keep some pain away. Now, years later, if I sit normally for even fifteen minutes, I feel hobbled when I get up to walk.

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

The left side is tighter and weaker. Do you know what exercises or stretches I need to incorporate?

    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!
