Psoas Massage/Release for Lower Back Pain Relief

Actually, it's not painful at all. I guess it could be if you were to go into it too fast and ignore the person being worked on. I never think of it as painful since I am committed to relieving pain rather than causing it.

The main thing is to go slow and work with the person so it doesn't hurt.

And, if the person jerks their leg up when you have pressure on the muscle, well you aren't supposed to let them do that either.

That looks so painful!

I can't wait to try this sometime. It does take time to get the psoas to open to deeper work, but it is so rewarding. Thanks for stopping by.

This technique is right on the money, it is great for runners who get lower back pain. Depending on the client I use a similar approach accompanied by the client performing an active cycling movement with the leg being treated. It is really effective but is too invasive for some people. Sweet video, cheers.

Glad to help. I am going to be doing another one soon with a little more detail. Stay tuned.

I LOVE PSOAS WORK!!!! AWESOME!

Oh yes, this is a very common way to find the psoas, taught in most massage schools. I learned it years ago from a friend who learned it at NHI.

hmmmm....seems sketch?! has this been proven?
