Hello, Thanks for sharing these great exercises/stretches! I am a distance runner, and have been having trouble with hip/SI joint/pelvic area since pregnancy nearly 3 years ago. I just tried the first excercise on this video (I used my foam roller) and I could feel immediate release and relief. I have one question -- do you think that tight psoas on one side could lead to very slight scoliosis in Lumbar region?
Glad it was useful. Scoliosis isn't just a side bend, it also has a reverse curve (or not, in the case of C curves) and has rotation elements. What the compression in one side makes I call Lateralization (there are two videos in my account on it). This is a term from Thomas Hanna.
Thanks very much for your input - I will look at your other videos. I can tell by your enthusiasm and knowledge that you really love what you do. I am sure you're a blessing to many people!
I always thought my hamstrings were stretched and flexible but couldn't understand why I had difficulty in getting past 90 degrees and really not making more progress. I tried the stretch today (without balls) and woooah.... I certainly haven't felt anything like that before. A really deep stretch. I have ordered some miracle balls today, will try out the other stretches asap. Is it ok to do these stretches on a daily basis and how long would you recommend to hold for. Superb informative work.
Hi, thanks for this video. What if my hips are making a popping sound when I do the first exercise you demonstrate, should I continue to do it? (the one where you lift one leg up and down.)
Always trying to avoid any popping joints, so yes, you should find someone like Pilates teacher to help you with your alignment : ) that'll help you not pop in your hip. That can really irritate and is no good : (
I found this video while researching the psoas/hamstring connection. I have the Miracle Balls and use the Petrone Method daily, but never thought of using them quite that way. I always learn something new from your videos (including those using the different pieces of Pilates equipment). Thanks!
I enjoy ur videos, but I wish they were not so dark. Thanks
good to use visual anatomy charts. thanks for ur great info.
