Hi john - just wanted to ask, how do we know if someone has severely weak posas tissues? I’m trying to get relief for many lower back Lx pain patients, and I am trying to work out how best to get them balanced posteriorly and anteriorly at the pelvic girdle to get the pelvic position for them right

I love your videos they really make learning a fun and informative thing I sincerely appreciate all of your insights and knowledge. I really hope to do your diploma also.

Would be nice if you could examine me ! But we have good therapists in Toronto as well.. I had no issues before I shattered my femur and had an IM nail and screws put in. This flare up has lasted more than a month. Limping, pain, muscle atrophy in butt and quad on that side . My butt is not firing. Inflammation in my quad and Small hip bursitis. Doing my research because the body is complex ! Hard to strengthen when there is pain and tightness .

Great video! Each time I try to do a wide-legged forward fold I can barely get beyond 90degrees and fold forward before I get a cramp in my outer hip - after research I can't tell if this is related to my psoas or adductors or both.

Hi John, Can I do a self test? I don't have anyone around to help me do this test! Also I mostly do HIIT training and strength training combined with fast walking. Lately, I started running to compete in a race and my knees are starting to hurt just under the patella and slightly to the inside. I have had problems with my right knee for a long time so I can understand this one being agitated but now my left knee is joining in. Could it be I have just over trained?

John your content is extremely well explained. I've just bought some of your books.

I have a quick question, in the Thomas test with notable psoas tightness do you ever see the thigh being held in external rotation as well as with poor extension?

Hi John! Is it possible for weak adductors to cause a tight psoas? I have experienced extreme tightness even after a laberal tear repair surgery with no relief. Extremely tight glutes as well. I remember feeling a strain sensation to the groin/hip after doing high knees a few years ago and haven’t felt the same since. Thank you! Love your content
