@Kalidasab, I’m gonna try this out later, I’m in pain but not sure if this is why.
1. I can’t seem to stand straight up, when first awake, Pinches lower back badly..
2. After I stretching some, I can, But I can’t bend over standing up without it feeling as if I am breaking something. Hurts to twist, Mainly to my left. If I cough, It hurts my kidneys. Any suggestions.?

The SelfAdjustingTechnique link works but the Back-In-Pain does not. I think the site got taken down?

@Kalidasab Do you mean you apply pressure to the abdominals simultaneously (but that it transfers through because they are lengthened and relaxed) or do you somehow move the rectus abdominis and obliques aside and go through the spaces? That seems tricky.

I like the way you done in, I have seen some people do it while client is face down. My personal choice is face up I just do it a little different, I like to rotate the leg and off to the side of the table and if psoas releases you can feel it pop.
Thanks for the video.

assuming you are able to locate the psoas on your own and do the release what type of stretch should follow the release if any. I have tight psoas from doing a lot of sitting and i am a runner that has been experiencing si joint pain and hoprfully this will help

@funk192 does that mean that yes it does help correct anterior pelvic tilt? Because I have the exact same question. thanks

No, you go right through them.
I was talking with my friend who showed me this, she says that she’s been to a lot of massage therapists who say they work the psoas but don’t actually get it. The real trick is lifting the leg to feel the muscle flex. You will know you have it that way.

Hi. Do the abdominal muscles not get in the way with this? Is there a way to get round this? Thanks

Try going a little deeper in to find it.
I will be making another couple of videos soon for two other places you can work the psoas. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

It doesn’t always come from the psoas, I am glad to hear that it helped you out though.

Kalidasab, once again, thanks for showing us this. I want to ask you, how often is one supposed to do this? How many times? Like you, I visited my chrio for a long time and wants to continue to see me. Shall i stop these visits and continue releasing my psoas? is this a permanent solution?

I’m glad you like it. Soon I am going to do two more for different locations.

Thanks for sharing this. I tried this and it worked. I didnt realize that my back pain was due to my psoas and myofacial tissue. Best way to find the muscle is by lifting the leg as he demonstrates.

The psoas gets worked so seldom on most people that slow is usually the best way to go. I’ve worked with some really sensitive ones and they never complained. It really doesn’t have to suck.

Some practitioners can get away with this, I’ve known a few. But, I’m more the gentle type and have found that working slowly and without pain works, so I don’t need to go deep like that, even if I’m sure it would work in a particular case. That’s great that it works so well for you.

In many cases it really is. Thanks for the reminder.

It took several years for me to realize that the psoas can affect back an hip pain. Now I try it early with most clients that have this kind of pain. Really glad it worked for you.
