Low back pain can be disabling and moving around can become nearly impossible. Often, the problem stems from spasm/trigger points from the iliopsoas/iliacus due to prolonged sitting. Referred pain from this muscle group may also cause pain into the groin and front of the thigh. Add this technique for relief.

It is the illiogastric or illioinguinal nerve that gets pinched. It originates from the spine, so you need to go see a sports chiropractor. Once those nerves are released, I recommend doing yoga. You'll stretch your psoas, oblique, hip flexor, and any adjoining muscles by doing natural movements. I'm a retired professional athlete, and this is what worked for me. Cheers

Wow, you just described the pain that laid me out for weeks. It was so bad that I was not able to get out of bed. The pain was in my back and right hip and pulling between hip and groin and trying to stand brought on pain like I’ve never felt before. Doc gave me pain killers which did nothing. After a week in hospital, I was given a cortisone injection in my back after the mri found a prolapsed disc.It’s been almost 2 years and the pain still comes back in a minor form but still scary. I’ll give the stretches a go first. The thought of using the ball worries me, in case i don’t do it right and the pain comes back. It’s a massive interruption to living your best life. If I bend the wrong way, it’s painful. I’ve had to put a hold on photography at shows. Take care of yourselves as best you can.

My problem is, particularly during the pandemic, I wasn’t even minimally physically active. I was afraid to go cycling, there were no festivals or outings, there wasn’t even work! So I sat down, every day, and just learned, all mental, no physical, no social activity. As soon as I started moving my body again, this happened. So I’m just working on this every day- weight loss and basic fitness. So much pain. The most important thing is what you’re describing, that it’s actually best to find that most painful area and concentrate on that, like pushing the blood out of a bad bruise so it doesn’t stop there. Get that fluid to move on before it hardens.

Great video! Thank-you! 😊✌️ My inside right groin and lower right back have been in pain now for a couple of months and I’ve had to stop exercising! Before that, I was doing street rollerblading a few times a week for a number of months. I believe that my psoas muscle must’ve got super tight from blading. Tomorrow morning I am going for an ultra-sound on my groin and then Sunday I’m going to the hospital for an MRI on my lumbar…. Your video is telling me that these are two exact places where I could be experiencing pain due to a psoas muscle injury! Nobody had even mentioned this to me before!😯 I will look for your other video in exercising this muscle!👏👏

While trying to perform this exercise I discovered that one could take the ball put it on the ground and place yourself on it with your hip (belly lying on the floor) and regulate the depth of the push with you own body weight 👍

Yup. Depends on your anatomy. For some, using body weight and facing the ground doesn't provide enough force to hit the right spots. Using the weight is an option I never considered.

Omg...ive been doing the tennis ball thing with my fist. As I'm sitting in hurts right on my groin/hip gristle when I raise my knee or as I'm lying on my back and raise my leg like "6 inches". Been swapping otc pain medication to assist on days I work. My lower back hurts also especially if I try to squat. If I stand up I feel like my first few steps are bent over until I tighten my abs as I walk to give my back enough support as I attempt to stand up straight. I'm going to start doing everything I can find out to attack this muscle and stretch to see if it helps. Thanks.

I've got lower disc issue from 20 years ago. Yesterday I was playing golf and in one swing I felt pain on my lower left back close to the hip. It later in the day went around to my groin as you indicate it would causing severe stabbing burning pain and some numbness around where the thigh meets the groin. Very painful when trying to get up out of bed.

I was lifting something heavy about 250 lbs and as I lifted that heavy object I either pinched a nerve or something because every time I sit on a chair for too long or exercise or don’t move too long my back hurts and it radiates down to my groin area to my left leg. Will this help? I also had scoliosis surgery when I was 14 and had a benign Sonoma surgery and this happened when I was getting up to move as well.

Its maddening how vague you are in exactly where to press. How about saying so many inches to the right or left of navel or down from navel then right or left so many inches. It all feels the same to me and I have intractable back pain that moves to groin. Had a hip replaced to get rid of groin and back pain and both are worse. I believe psoas at least part of issue, but please be more specific.

@MoveWellLiveWell 5 жыл бұрын

Hello and Thanks for Watching! These techniques should be performed “As Tolerated.” In other words, some discomfort may be experienced while performing them. However, pain should be avoided. These techniques are performed in order to relax/stretch/loosen tightened tissues. If you find yourself tensing/tightening up too much while performing these techniques, it may be too much. Use common sense. Many use the saying, “Hurts So Good” to describe the point at which you stop. We wish you the best of health! Thanks again for watching and your inquiry.😄

Try both and feel the difference for yourself. One difference is that if you are supine, then you can flex the hip. With your fingers you should be able to feel the psoas contract. If you are prone you can't.

Sounds like lower lumbar issues, when you bend it's the lumbar and lower thoracic areas that do the most work, may want to try a chiropractor and or get an MRI for further diagnosis

Can this affect erectile function and sfinkter? I got sick 2 years ago with was suspected to be cauda equina syndrom. But when I eventually got to do a MRI (took couple of weeks sadly), it didn't reveal anything. The lower back pain eventually continued to develop in the hips as well as the lower back. And now also in the groin area. I have like nerve pain under the scrotum and in the penis. After I got sick 2 years ago my erectile function went from like 100% down to at most 60%. But now since 3 weeks back I have complete erectile dysfunction. The penis tries to get hard when I'm sleeping or waking up but it at most like 2 percent erectile function left.

Now its day 3 and cannot walk straight but hunched forward at 90 degrees bc its so painful. I cannot use crutches a cane nor can I reach for any the in the cabinet.
