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 …
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 …
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.

While in massage …
While in massage school, my teacher noticed i was walking funny. he asked me if i was in pain. i told him i was about to die. right there in class, he put me on the table, put his thumb on my psoas and pushed. brought tears to my eyes. but DAMN! when he was done, the pain was GONE and i was CURED! I have since had clients with the same problem in my own massage practice and performed this maneuver on them. they left pain free.

That happens with youtube sometimes. It worked for me, try it again. If it still doesn’t work try with a different browser. If it still doesn’t work for you, post here again and I’ll give you an alternate site.

Good question Tamara. The leg would be held straight. Thanks for asking!

Hello,

Hello,
When you have Anthony lift his right leg slightly to locate the psoas, is his leg straight or are his knees bent (as in the hook-lying position). It would be helpful to see his lower body position too.
Thanks!
Tamara

Thank you SO much …
Thank you SO much for this helpful demonstration! Tight psoas on my right side is contributing to very mild scoliosis. I was able to do this technique on myself just now, and felt immediate release AND relief! As a distance runner and a busy mom, this is invaluable – thanks again.

Nutty 85, I’ve been really busy, but I’m going to try to do that video before too much longer.

This is a trigger point technique, it goes beyond the fascia. One guy (there’s a comment above) was able to work his own.
I have a couple of great stretches for the psoas, and one that is assisted, but they aren’t in the book. I’ll see about making a video of the assisted one soon.

Are you “releasing” trigger points or fascia? Do you have any active or passive stretching included in the book?
