Thank you for this video. I don’t think people realize how important it is to strengthen, and not stretch an already weak muscle.

[sidneymoises]

I do have psoas issues and it does hurt a lot - thank you very much.

[amyhoop]

This has been super helpful! Always thought my hip flexors were tight but they are weak. I feel like I can walk better after doing these exercises. Thanks!

I can’t stand on one leg never mind lift all the way never mind hold it 😅
I’ve been stretching for 20 years not strengthening

33 y chronic back hip pain. I’ll update you in a month. See if I have a new life!

[ST-rjiu]

Your explanations are awesome! I was not sure if I need to stretch or strengthen. My pelvis does tilt forward so you answered my question.

[walterjunovich]

Thank you for the video.
I just tried this today and can already feel a difference. 👍👍👍👍

Your teachings are the best, thanks Blake.

[deborahvogel]

excellent! So nice to see such a practical way to strengthen the iliopsoas in standing! Thank you!

[Theandrew]

Thanks brother. Exactly what I needed. I can tell from the Iso test that my hip flexors are weak. All the small muscle groups matter.

Good idea using a dumbbell, I’ve seen other videos that recommend ankle weights but ankle weights sounds like it would hurt my knee from hanging a weight at the end like that, another plus with your way is I won’t have to buy those weights when a I have a variety of dumbbells and kettlebells, I did your test and it seems my psoas is somewhat strong, the pain was from it being tight but I will continue the exercises to get a little stronger

[antoniyaart]

This was one of the best videos I have found for my hip paint!

[steadyandready]

Wow. Thank you Jesus I found this video. I have never seen that last exercise but I will definitely have to incorporate that in my regimen. Shalom!

[foodiegal]

Hey Blake, would weak hip flexors = inability to properly hinge?
Thanks for the great free content! ❤

[bigbonedthankyou]

Fantastic finally a simple but effective exercise

[misterbulger]

Great tips. 20 yrs of physical therapy nobody has addressed this. Smdh.

Can walking actually strengthen the psoas. If so, is there a specific way to walk.
“PSOAS Exercises sitting in a computer chair”
I swing my knee out and activate the psoas. I push with my hand against my leg and try to lift the foot up...
I do this every 15 mins, my alarm goes off.
Every 60 mins I get up and do a routine in the corner of the room...
works good.
If it’s not sports it’s Computer chair Pilots.... funny thing is... the sports injuries seem to heal faster...
Go figure...
Thanks for the video

I have ankle weights. I'm going to give it a go. Left side fine, right side hurts to flex.

[AnnaSet]

Good way to check if psoas is overstretched and weak - lie down on flat and high surface so you butt would be on it and hips could fall down. Bend your legs 90 degrees then pull one leg closer to the chest and hold with 2 arms. Other leg should be hanging down from the height with 90 degree in the knee. When psoas is normal - leg (the one which you don’t hold) will fall at a small degree down, if it’s too tight it will not fall and will keep leg higher then the surface you are on. But if your leg fell down a lot, that’s a sign your psoas just can’t hold the leg.

Hi. Great video. I just need to know how many sets and reps for 3rd exercise

[mrdman]

Weak hip flexor, complicated by gluteal tendonopathy, limits range of motion and makes it painful and trickier to rehab. Don't forget the bulging disc sciatica, making it close to impossible to do any therapy at all. But, slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch...
