Psoas Massage Release At The Hip

http://SelfAdjustingTechnique.com The deepest muscle in the body is the Psoas. This makes it very hard to get to for therapeutic massage. There are three places where this is done. This video shows the Psoas being released using pressure point technique. A pressure point is found in the body of the muscle, normally a slight indentation within the muscle, but the Psoas can be released most anywhere it can be accessed. This video demonstrates the muscle being worked at the inside of the inner hip.

The pressure may be held for anywhere from a few seconds up to three minutes. The tightness of the muscle and exactly how much the client can tolerate are the determining conditions. Generally, a tight muscle will mainly tolerate a short hold and could be worked regularly with a good increase in holding time over one to three weeks. Use comfort levels to determine how long is appropriate. Always stop before there is pain.

A tight Psoas can cause low back problems since it pulls the lumbar spine forward. Other videos show how to release the Psoas in the three areas where it may be reached, using pressure point technique in these cases.

Let me know what you think about this technique in the comments. Would you like to see how to work the Psoas where it attaches to at the upper inner thigh?

Ugh I can feel this muscle tight when I'm sitting all in hip flexion with my rounded back, nice to see it confronted here!

[Kalidasab]

@tyciol Hope it helps!

[msminx88]

Yay! More massage technique videos! 

[Kalidasab]

@msminx88 I have some more to put out, been a bit busy though.

@Kalidasab Thanks for your reply. apparently my hip pain was being caused by my legs being uneven.

My left leg was a bit longer. I put a little lift in my right shoe and it does feel much better.

[Kalidasab]

@dysvanlist It depends, the psoas could be involved, but not what I think of when thinking of a hip flexor. Of course, there is some controversy about what the psoas does. Certainly worth a try. Enzymes are good for scar tissue.

@arivaz24 The groin is a different muscle, the adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus can be involved, usually not the psoas though.

[arivaz24]

Can this be directly related to a "sports hernia" and groin strains? Would the release of this help?

[dysvanlist]

Does this massage help with scar tissue? I tore my hip flexor a while back and it never healed properly. Hurts like hell
