I had a spinal cord tumor, and nobody believed me after I saw two different doctors, thinking I was just a drug seeker. By the time it was found, the surgeon said it had obviously been there for years, continuing to grow and weaken the bone structure of my spine.

[@TheUnunifiedTheory]

In my 30+ years of Medical massage working with this problem, Iliopsoas is one of the most ignored muscle systems in the body, both by the medical community and Physical Trainers. Even in common surgery to fix Spodylothesis, the medical community ignores the cause of the problem and instead chooses to fuse the lower lumbar spine together further restricting the movement of the lower lumbar spine in addition to the pelvis. They have yet to figure out that if you loosen the Iliopsoas that the Spondylothesis with go away. In doing so, the patient is further restricted and the lower lumbar is incapable of movement therefore the Iliopsoas become even more tight and instead of just anteriorly rotating the pelvis, now pulls the whole lower spine forward cause the patient to bend forward and all hip flexors are now in a shortened position. Only through consistent stretching and retraining of this muscle system will the patient receive any relief. Muscle memory is a thing.

[@Omer-gv2tp]

Do you think sleeping on your back on hard floor would help release it? Im basically locked in that area and body refuses to give up this position

[@golddanny]

that one is my case!!. spine doctors told me to go under an artrodhesis(lumbar fusion) but i refuse to. I discovered by myself by analysing my MRI, TC and x ray that i had L5 spondylothesis and was rotated to right side because of shortened psoas. I said this to the spine doctors and they ignored it and said it had nothing to do with that. The pain was strong. Then i started to work on stretching, strenghtening, and a lifestyle change like sleeping better, meditation, relaxation, etc, and pain has gone 80%. No surgery needed. Also My posture has improved a lot.

For me issue is caused by driving in heavy traffic. Tight right side, because all muscles on the front of my right leg are tense all the time, toes up/down/up/down all the time. It also translates into problem with tendon below knee cap, slight knee pain.

[@lckcyy]

omg my psoas r always a bit painful when i sit hours for lectures n i kept stretching it after at the beginning. but after some time i realize maybe they’re too weak so i did some strengthening exercises. it started to hurt less n ive noticed it’s always the left side only, ive only did exercises for the right leg to “balance it out”.
finally someone is explaining it

[@renettapurvis4863]

After 30+ years of pelvic twisting from a year of repeated injuries to the SI Joint, last year a severe case of Trendelenburg Gait manifested. The left hip and leg structure simply locked up. Eight months of PT later, still had deep muscle pain and pinching sensation. Started the Beginner Body Restoration program 5 weeks ago and got immediate relief with the exercises. Still working on the muscles recognizing the corrected patterns. This program has been a Godsend for me! Plan to do Lower Limb next. Thank you Conor!!

Usually if you have abnormally tight hip flexors on one side, there’s usually an overly tight hamstring on the opposite side. Counter nutation. You’ve got to address both to create balance.

[@elontusk5198]

I had this for over 10+ years and one day i was walking and just started to recognize and feel how i walked and i somewhat drew my right leg a bit snd lifted it if you understand. Did this as long as i can remember after an injury and when i walked and didnt concentrate or looked to my sides i always drifted left and couldnt walk in a straight line.
This one day i started to also feel and recognize how i walked with my left side and somewhat forcefully not so it hurted but started to try an walk the same way with my right side. After about 500 meters of walking i felt very tired in my right hip. Then i started to stand still Infront of my mirror at home and lean a bit right and press my right hip to the ground so my hips were symmetrical. After about 2 days my hip started to hurt very much in my muscles like a muscle knot in my back but a little bit more intense. I understood it was opening and continued with this in about 2-3 days the pain was totally gone. At this time i started to strech my hips and the pain came back so i stretched more and walked right how you should and about 2-3 weeks later i could walk in a straight line without problem. Felt more balanced and now 6 months later i have started to train my hip muscles and i have 0 problem if i maintain the streching but if i dont strech for few weeks the pain comes back but almost cannot feel it so i think i just need to strengthen and lenghten the muscle of course its shorter and weaker after 10+ years so maybe in a year it will be as God intended it to be hopefully.

[@nursejacquie1975]

Following an accident I was in a recliner for months and now have titanium hardware in C4-7 and L 3-5. I also have central cord syndrome as well. As I've recovered I have felt like my pelvis is rotated with a weird gait, kinda like a jacknife gait. No amount of PT etc has improved anything. I have been using several of your videos and this one is the most helpful. I strongly feel like peeps who have been rehabbed in a recliner post-op, post injury are developing syndromes with glutes and psoas. No one seems to be aware of such a phenomena but it's real. Thanks for great videos.

out of all the videos on psoas and just the general pain i am looking to relieve, this has been the most concise. These exercises and their detailed instructions i have not encountered in any of the numerous videos i have watched. My body is feeling that "aha" moment when something hit the bulleye.

[@rag5283]

What you have just explained in this video should be a foundational starting point for any phsysio, RMT, rolfer, osteopath, chiropractor etc. A complete understanding of this tendancy in any level of repetitive sport is absolutey crucial in development of the athlete. I was haunted by left side rotation and weakness over a lenghty career in cycling. When my pelvis was straight my wattage output was exceptional and endurance over any given workout much greater. As an adolescent I spent my years of growth on a skateboard which imbalanced my pelvis muscles and ligaments. I dearly paid for that later on a bicycle. Can you please do a video on that very thing and how one might avoid this unbalanced development and ways for young athletes to keep their body in a balanced state. The other discovery a young athlete needs to make is that the pelvic floor is the centre of their universe for every single action regardless of sport. This video connects the dots in a way that overy many years of seeking help from so called professionals could not. THANK YOU for your insights and attention to detail.

Great explanation that sounds right to me. I'll keep on with the exercises. I experience relief from stretching into the groin area on the left. I get relief with the classic one-foot kneeling and stretching into the hip. I think yours will help me retrain but with my wooden floor I tend to push myself away from the wall. I do think you're onto it though!
I get some real benefit from intentionally being carefree with the relevant leg, the left, and not protecting it, trusting in walking freely. Leg pain is better and often it goes away for a month or more.

OMG! I cannot find the words to truly thank you! Physiotherapists kept telling me to "work on my glutes" but never told me "How?". I have been doing many glute workouts at gym but always sufering from tightness on hamstring and adductor on right side. I think a good way to find you are a bit tilted to right/left side would be by testing how weak is your glute on that side and this can be done by "90-90 one foot (right) on the wall"! I could feel my glute much more on the weak side!

Glad I found you. I think this plays a huge part of why I have flat back syndrome - tight muscles pulling the curve out of my lumbar spine.

[@michaelbrown3691]

You sure. Tight hip flexors cause excessive lordosis. Tight hamstrings and weak elongated hip flexors will cause a flat lumbar spine. Overstretched hamstings and short hanstrings will pull the glutes and hamstrings down and that will give you a flat back with swayback posture. It's very similar and easy to confuse. I have tight hip flexor on the left (anterior tilt and the posterior on the right side).

Excellent video. I’m a dancer (used to be I should say) and once I stopped dancing, the body just fell apart in so many different ways. The muscles no longer held the joints the same way, it affected the way I moved and carried myself and among other things, that pesky snapping hip or dancer’s hip has prevented me from doing lower ab work like leg raises for a decade. It’s just so uncomfortable. And because I’m hyper aware of my body and its placement, the rotating you’re describing is so on point. Whenever I strain these muscles I feel it up the back of the leg, through my groin and over the front of my hip. I’ve figured out how to work on this through my own trial and error because you’re right - the regular advice doesn’t exactly work in these situations. Your video validated what I’ve known all along from my own experiences and process.

Great video! I've been trying to figure out what I have, it's hard to explain, but I think it's psoas issues, where it attaches to the spine on my lower back? Is there any stretch for that?

[@MrRiprip56]

Conor, hAD HIP REPLACEMENTS LEFT 1998 RIGHT 1999. This is the most involved video and many thanks. The first surgery the titanium ball was installed to far up in my pelvis I think. I have a MRI that shows the psoas muscle and nerves veins artery all shrunken. Years later I kept telling my GP that on that side I feel like I have a knife point broken off just above the R Kidney area. Ortho dog after many years I took that MIR to him he said,,,OOO that happens ever now and then. Or that happens every so often. I walk great and have but for L leg was lenghtened 3-4cm,,,,,for the year I wore a built up shoe. My lower back kills me daily doing the smallest easiest of jobs or activity. Love to hear from you on this. Love to show you the MRI,,So easy to see how the sides are so different,,,the right side of muscle is really built up LOOKS LIKE ARNOLDS BICEPS,,,Thank you

This looks to be very helpful, but some what difficult for older people to lie on the floor, and have GERD. Do you have alternative exercises where you don't have to lie on the floor?

[@TrainMeUpRunning]

Perfect!! Exactly what I needed to do. Can't believe I made it thru all 15. And you would be welcome if you sing.

[@nickfleming3719]

My low back pops when I rotate my spine to the left, my left hip pops when I internally rotate my left leg, and my groin pops when I push in with my inner hamstrings. Literally all the boxes check

[@mustangcody]

Bro stop following me. I just googled this yesterday. You have my sub and like.

[@conorharris]

😁♥️

[@danmurad8080]

I didn't even google anything, left Psoas is too tight.
Explaining the anatomy, the hip turning to the right, helped me instantly feel which muscle to contract.
Driving may be the root cause

[@riazr88]

You just got algorithm’d

[@G4mer_D4d]

I just talked about it around my phone 👀

[@garrett4121]

Hi. My left Psoas has been too tight and causing major pain in my left abdomen and left side of my body (from ribs to abdomen to greater trochanter area and top of left thing), it’s also seriously pulling on my left lumbar facets, ribs and feels like it’s pulling my hip apart and I get terrible hip/buttock pain, side of hip tfl area and pain into that outer left thigh and it band area. it also causes bad cramps during my cycle and GI issues. I have several rounds of physiotherapy and chiropractor adjustments/help. this has been going on for 3 years. I can’t sit for very long, driving is hard and I am just in constant terrible pain. Exercises like this give me a bit of relief but not lasting and I am miserable. This has been going on for 3 years ever since I had my gallbladder out and a hernia repair at the same time in which the physician permanently sutured my abdomen together in order to close me. Basically tightened my abs but didn’t do the full tummy tuck so I have a lot skin that pulls as well. I am miserable. I’ve been to so many doctors. not once did this come up but I have known it’s my psoas for some time. the only relief I get is laying on a psoas release or jamming something to press hard to hard on that muscle (like part of a broom stick or something with leverage) and holding it there until I can get it to somewhat relax. doesn’t seem like this issue will ever stop nor heal. It has affected my quality of life and I am in bed alot now as I can’t sit for long. Help?! what do people do that are past this point? what kind of doctor should i see? no specialists in my area have been helpful, including my original surgeon. I have seen pain specialists, several GI and general surgeons and told my primary care doctor and ob gyn about it. Xrays are normal and they claim my MRI’s are normal except for some lumbar bulging discs. I am sure the constant tightness is taking a toll on my spine. I am in California and tired of living like this. 😢 Any help, hope, recommendations, advice would be greatly appreciated. Exercises don’t fix it. When I get relief, all I have to do is sit or drive or lift my dog or baby nephews and it comes right back 😢. Please 🙏 any ideas?

[@larryb131]

Good video, but really complicated movements. Not sure I could accomplish this effectively without the assistance of a PT.

[@kristenl.8293]

Same, I’m desperate but would need a therapist to work with me on this. The pain is just that bad. Feel like Ive lost my life to pain and probably wouldn’t have if someone picked up on this being a possible cause.

[@ehsanirfan8773]

Really hope this message gets your attention as my hip issues have caused have caused me a whole lot of complications in adjacent muscles.
Coming of your other videos on poor hip/femur internal rotation, I want to know if a poor hip internal rotation causes a tight psoas or vice versa? Because I really can’t comprehend which area should I work on first.
I did that standing capsule stretch and felt better the very first day but now I realise I have a tight psoas as well for obvious reasons.
Should I continue working on the femur internal rotation first before focusing on the tight psoas?
Really appreciate your input. TIA

[@starne]

This is what is confusing to me: You begin by saying most people have a tight psoas on the left. Okay. But does this mean such a person will be experiencing pain (also) on the left? My pain is definitely and always on the right. Does this mean I likely have a tight psoas on the right? And therefore reverse everything you demonstrate for most of the video so that it applies to me?

[@willa1699]

I was specifically skimming through your videos for the last hour to find what this feeling was 😂 I noticed discomfort when doing the butterfly or any hip hung movements in the gym on my right side only. I just subscribed thank you!😊 you’re doing Gods work! Would you recommend working on all of these things before really working on exercise just as a foundation? Or can you do both at the same time?

[@whitedevil-gu7nz]

Bro did it worked for you?

[@emptyheaded7182]

I did the second exercise and got a sharp pain on the right side of my lower abdomen, it was really uncomfortable. I've had this weird point pain in my right back and on my lower right side of stomach and I feel pain by my spine when I twist to the right...I'm also much less flexible on the right. I have no idea what exercise is gonna solve this :(

[@PierreuxSofie]

Interesting material :) Been having trouble with the muscle groups on the right side of my body for quite some time now (from the pelvis up to my neck). At this point, my body 'feels' asymmetric and I am trying to learn as much as I can about the causes and how to train the right muscles to prevent this from happening. I am left-handed and my PT has pointed out in the mirror how I tend to favour my right side towards the front. This makes some of the exercises explained here feel a bit counterintuitive. Are there exceptions the the left-AIC, or are the muscles on the right side soar because they're compensating? Thanks for the insights!

[@meredithmeredith3384]

Huge problem for me as well

[@dp2404]

For me it's on the right as well

[@thisscreensucks]

Sounds like me.
Foot issue, poor hop mobility, low back injury, SI strain, sore ribcage, even digestive issues.
Had them for years thinking it was coincidentally all on the same side.
Turned out a super tight PSOAS can cause a lot of problems. A muscle I'd never even heard of.....

[@viveks7120]

@@thisscreensuckshas anything helped you yet

[@kellyk.8287]

If you favor your right side, meaning you tend to stand more in your right side, that is characteristic of the L AIC pattern. People with this pattern are more comfortable standing on their right side, typically with a higher right hip, lower right shoulder, and possibly a left head tilt.

[@felipequintas7280]

appreciate your content !! i want to buy your body restoration program, but have some questions about:
1) what implements do i need at home ? boxes of different heights, balls, ropes, elastic bands, etc? i make the question for not to submit and then cannot make the exercises bc i dont have the implements you need
2) i think you have spotted my problem, i run triathlons and i have: right flat feet - right femoropatellar dysfunction - right hip isues (gluteus med-min tendinopathy). would your program be beneficial especifically for me or is ir just general conditioning ?
fantastic job, thanks in advance !!

[@monicaleyrer7993]

good question

[@felipequintas7280]

or perhaps is it better the lower limb foundations program ?

[@conorharris]

Hi Felipe, good to hear! All you need is a foam roller, maybe a small yoga ball but a pillow could suffice. Everything else will be stuff you have at home.
As for your second question, I can’t responsibly make guarantees for what this program will fix. That would be unethical of me. But I can tell you that this program has helped people see progress with similar issues.

[@felipequintas7280]

great !! i will submit, thanks for your answer and your work !!

[@rhiannons333s5]

Omg I've waited for this info I have it on right side I've tried to get help but basically was told I have 3 types of scolosis but it shouldn't be bothering me and they sent me on my way. I used to be very active and now have pinched nerves in every joint on right side.
