I tore my lower rectus abdominis after doing high knees and had surgery but can’t find an exercise for the lower part of the RA where I don’t feel the psoas take over

Excellent question. If I were you, I would start with the fundamental core exercises (Abdominal Drawing-in Maneuver, Abdominal Hallowing, Abdominal Bracing and Supine Pelvic Tilt). Then I would advance to Frog Leg Crunch. Please let me know if you have any questions. Here is a playlist of video I made of Core exercises kzfaq.info/sun/PLqvttwjy17Bn6oDPUJmCZSnaWRxDiFBEL

My upper rectus abdominis has massive trigger points and is tight. If it’s due to imbalance, what muscles would I strengthen? Would I release the psoas?

Hello Captain. If I were you I would try slow static stretches for the rectus abdominis and hip flexors. I would follow these guidelines when stretching: Move into a stretch slowly, hold a mild comfortable stretch and move out of a stretch slowly. Here are links to an article and videos that may provide useful information: Hip Flexor Stretches kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7l1e66iud3Ikp8.html Fitball Hip Flexors Stretch AKA Fitball Psoas Stretch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8l_rNWGtpu4o40.html Stretching with the Exercise Ball www.championshipchiropractic.com/wordpress/stretching-with-the-exercise-ball/

I learned a lot in just 2 minutes. Thank you! I live and teach in Las Vegas. Would it be possible to come in with a set of specific questions about which to make a short video for my students?
