thank you , i was searching for a pandiculation for the quads but i don't thought about using some tools for positioning. The only thing better is when someone can give you active resistance with his hand , but for doing it alone this is great.
Doing the psoas release is always recommended. Both are good. We sit so much that doing the sitting version is just very convenient. The standing version, because it is in weight bearing, puts the quads in a more functional position because we are in weight bearing. Both are very good. Thank you for your question.
That was very helpful. I have a swollen knee and can't stretch my quads so I tried your somatic exercises and the muscles released. I have had pain walking down stairs for days and it was gone after doing this.
thanks so much for this. I definitely felt a difference after doing the exercises. Lets see if my thighs get back to normal by monday so I can play football again!
Hallo Susan! I like your videos very much. My problem is trauma reflex and due to injuries with bike my left leg looks to be shorter for 1,5 inch.I have a question about how strong must I contract my muscles when excercising. In Hannas video he says: »Slowly and with good firmness you see« . » Cause the firmer, and she does this very slowly and very firmly with strong contraction, it creates stronger feedback«. Does it means its better to excerciser with strong contraction to achive better results? Ludvik Bojnec, Slovenia
+ludvik bojnec You want to regain control and the muscle should release and lengthen so you have greater flexibility and movement. Is this happening? The contraction varies from quite weak to quite strong depending on the person's joint health and situation. You want a comfortable and sufficiently strong contraction so the motor cortex receives new feedback. In my experience most people make stronger contractions than they need to; but I always am looking to see if the person is getting results. It's the response that is important and guides how strong one needs to make the contraction - but always without strain and pain. Moving slowly is also key. A slow, controlled release out of the contraction is the most important part of the techniques.
Hi Susan, thank you for this. What should we do if we have clunking inside the groin joint as we bring our leg down from external rotation to straight legged position on the floor like at 3:22? I tried it with many different angles of the knee pointing outwards as I lower the leg but it happens no matter what.
Is the clunking painful? Perhaps try to internally rotate your leg at the hip before you bring your foot down. Or do the movement much smaller. You're welcome to message me back.
@@somaticsforyou Thank you for your reply. No it's not painful, more 'weird' feeling like something is catching but it's not happening with tiny subtle movements of the leg so I'll play around with that internal rotation idea along with all hip and leg muscle release and see how it all falls back into proper place. Since I left the message I've already found the groin opening up gently bit by bit with every session. It's amazing. Thanks again!
Hello Susan, my left quadriceps are pulling the knee so it's hurting and difficult to climb up and down the stairs. So I tried this movement, after 20 minutes of following this video, the left quadriceps is definitely softer than the right quads. It includes loosening the upper body too, because when I stretch, there are many popping sounds of joints around my shoulders.. Thank you very much Susan. Can we apply this movement every day? Can we not over do this kind of movement? I often do myofascial release, do u agree with this? 😊
I do my somatic movements every day. As long as you are moving slowly and staying within your comfort zone, you should be fine. Doing them everyday for a period of time is probably good. Then you may want to vary your somatic movements and do this particular one 1-3 times a week. Doing somatic movements for the whole body is recommended - like the Daily Cat Routine. Keep doing what is giving you good results. There are many good and interesting modalities out in the world. If you like the version of myofascial release you are doing and are getting good results, I would continue to include that in your routine. thank you.
@@huangalden6071 The contraction of the psoas can pull on many muscles, especially due to fascial connections. Is this what you're feeling?

Thank you Susan.
This is my lucky day! Last week I sprained my ankle and got knee pain too! After doing your lessons there’s hope I’ll get over it-soon!
Great. Thank you.
Hi Susan. Which one is more effective the standing or sitting releases? Should we also do the psoas release aswell? Thanks.

The standing version, because it is in weight bearing, puts the quads in a more functional position because we are in weight bearing. Both are very good. Thank you for your question.
