Your Psoas Isn't Just Tight, It's WEAK [Don't Stretch, Do These Instead]

Blaming a tight psoas for stiff, achy hips? These 5 exercises will strengthen the area and reverse the damage from sitting.
The psoas is a use it or lose it muscle. Sitting much of the day causes it to atrophy and get weak. Stretching isn’t going to help. It only stretches out the tissues that are already pliable. It doesn’t build strength or create lasting changes in muscle length.
Instead, starting with auto self-myofascial release and moving on to isometics and bodyweight exercises, building lasting strength and helping prevent achy, painful hip flexors. Do these 5 exercises that Coach E demonstrates a couple of times a week for a few weeks, and you’ll be well on your way to moving freely and without pain.
We will focus mostly on the psoas, which is one muscle in the hip flexor group, and what we’ll focus on today. But a few more muscles in the area contribute to all the movements your hips control, the iliacus, rectus femoris, and pectineus.
Remember, throughout all of the exercises, keep the lumbar spine in the neutral position because the psoas is also responsible for lumbar stability. It will help you get the most out of these exercises.

Im a designer who sits for hours every day and whilst i do a lot of Pilates and regularly stretch my hip flexors, this video is probably going to change my life! I will be doing these exercises religiously. It makes such sense that they are in fact ‘weak’ not ‘tight’.. thank you!

How is it going so far?

[@gilman8662]

Me too, designer och the desk all day everyday. Though I play soccer ⚽️ I am so tight around my hips causing less range below my body thus easily get injuries during training.

[@ratsuns2828]

Same here! As a designer who sits a whole hell of a lot I had my first work related injury with weakness in my spinal muscles. This looks really good for building up those muscles

[@chrishayes5755]

if you're at a desk all day you need to be doing powerlifting, bodybuilding, crossfit (lol), or something else that will keep your body strong - martial arts is a good one. it's not enough to strengthen one muscle group or just do some stretches / easy yoga also doesn't cut it.

Great stuff. As a former elite cyclist, my quads were over-developed and my glutes and surrounding muscles became weaker. This led to a great deal of discomfort and pain in the psoas area. Nothing has helped except doing the Yoga Tree Pose (going side to side with arms in a T) and working to strengthen my glutes. I will try these exercises to work on the other muscles. Thank you, Sir.

I have had a problem with back pain in the lumbar region for a long time. What you're conveying is something different from anything I've seen before. I did it for the first time and the feeling of looseness in the hips and the restoration of muscle feeling in these places is fantastic. I hope after some time it will be even better.

@rafatomaszewski3781 Did it get any better?

[@jangregory5193]

Excellent! You've hit on one of the main areas affecting senior's mobility issues. The psoas is a significant issue, but the combination of hip muscles taken together are responsible for the quality of our walking gait and balance. Seniors very often decrease overall activity levels and aslo do a lot of sitting. Strengthen this hip group...you see a better gait and better balance, not just the pain... that's the best way to prevent falls To your point, the stretching and chair yoga just doesn't get the job done. BTW, a separate YT channel just for senior issues would be a great idea for you.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Wow! Thanks for that awesome comment and validation of our methods. We really appreciate the suggestion and check out this video in the meantime: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmnPlWpuZbt2brssi=qXGh_XX3QhIOQdhH - Coach Joshua, Team PM

[@nursejacquie1975]

Great video! I suffered a spinal cord injury and spent 6 months in a recliner recovering while receiving minimal PT. When starting to walk again I discovered my hip flexors/iliopsoas was tight but weak. No amount of stretching with aggressive PT helped. I have had improvement within 2 weeks of starting this workout. And, surprisingly my balance improved which I had believed to be neurological. I had no choice about the recliner rest but wow, a recliner can do a lot of damage to one's body. Thank you for taking the time invested creating this informational video.

I spent so many years stretching my hip flexors/glutes to no avail. Been doing more psoas release movements and I can’t believe the difference. I has psoas pop or snap in my right hip and did not know what it was until now. Although the noise/pop wasn’t painful, it scared me. I thought something was wrong with my hip. I’m so relieved after finding these types of channels. I can actually jog a little now and walk 4-5 miles without having so much tightness in my glute/hip area!

I'm wondering if the iliopsoas are inhibited by the hamstrings when doing good mornings (or deadlifts)...if so then the spinal erectors could get too much load. Honestly I don't have any sensation of the iliopsoas muscles to tell if they're being activated or not, is that normal?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

@@billsemenoff They are likely not inhibited and you can learn to activate and integrate them by working on these exercises more. What you are experiencing is normal especially if you have not tried anything like this before :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Fantastic video on hip snapping. After just applying you exercises one time, I felt much less snapping and greater end range strength. I found that by eccentrically extending and then holding my leg in the end range position one inch above the floor and then moving the leg up very slowly just a few inches up helps even more with building end range strength.

That is amazing! So happy that it helped :)

Thank you! I had a right hip replacement 19 months ago and so many of the exercises and discussion focus on strengthening and "activating" my right glute. I've been regularly doing pilates and barre after months of PT but I'm still having issues with limping on the right side when I walk too much and "overdo" it. I thought I needed to stretch out my psoas and roll more which provides temporary relief but I've been frustrated that after all this time I still haven't resolved the weaker right side. I tried your psoas exercises and I can barely hold my leg up in some of the positions so can see that my problem is weak psoas not tight psoas. I plan to work on these exercises over the next 3-4 weeks as suggested. This is a huge help.

I've literally been doing exactly what you said not to do with the stretching, and wondered why my pain isn't going away! 😂Thank you so much for this upload!

This program has been a game changer for me. I've been dealing with sore hip flexors for a few years. They would get particularly sore after skate skiing, biking, and some other activities. Naturally, I was inclined to do hip flexor stretches all the time but they never seemed to help. I've been doing this program now for about 8 weeks and I have had no hip flexor discomfort at all for the last 5+ weeks. I've gone from always being aware of my hip flexors to totally forgetting about them.

Thanks for watching!

I am surprised no one has recommended a course like this to me! I've been trying to figure it out myself with some gains but this is perfect in what it activates. I was wondering if you have any recommendations on exercises for the Tensor Fasciae latae? My left one has atrophied it seems or my right one is too big (though I have pain in my left hip so I think its the former rather than the later) and it have trouble targeting it. Thanks!
