What an amazing resource this is. I thought I understood how the body worked and how to treat muscle pain and dysfunction, but I learn something valuable almost every day.
I've been experience a pinching pain I my hip flexor for a few weeks. I've just used the lacrosse ball/kettlebell technique and its the first time in ages where I can bring my knees to my chest without a twinge. Thanks Kelly
This is perfect for a post deployment (think military) or any job involving extensive sitting or standing. Sciatic nerve problems, a great solution to that problem!
This works, just have to find the right spot. I put a lacrosse ball an inch over and an inch down from my belly button. I start with my leg straight and then flex it up. If you are on the psoas, you will know when you flex the leg up. I then put the kettlebell on and roll around for two minutes and it relieves the pinching feeling in the front of the hip when I squat.
Awesome video. Much appreciated, from someone recently diagnosed with FIA hip impingement primarily due to the Psoas, and who just spent $100 over the last week to have the therapist actively massage the same area for about 3-4 MINUTES (so, I guess that figures up to about $1,500 per hour). LOL
Wow, I’m having trouble, but not that kind of trouble. It’s amazing to me how one ability is absolutely amazing while another is such an easy thing. I’m also just plain shocked that you get this. I’ve been cycling my whole life, during the pandemic actually zero, all messed up, and you totally get it. Honestly, before I had a debilitating problem, I would say you’re full of crap, but this is spot on.
Hi Kelly: I have a quick question.... technique starting around 3:00 - what is the outcome for the technique used on the Psoas by "tack/stretching model" (placing ball/kettle on areas) : are we trying to get the connective tissue(muscle) to relax-release any tension? Get flow of blood to area? Trigger points? Elongate? All or none of the above? i.e. What is happening to the tissue when you place pressure and floss/mobilize? Thank you for your insight.
Fraser Harrison In 2011, the UK Advertising Standards Authority received a complaint regarding the effectiveness claims published in an advertising leaflet produced by the Myofascial Release UK health care service. In response to the complaint, the ASA ruled that materials presented by Myofascial Release UK in support of the claims made in their ad were inadequate to establish a "body of robust scientific evidence" to substantiate Myofascial Release UK's range of claims.[11] In addition, the ASA determined that the ad breached advertising rules by introducing a risk that readers might be discouraged from seeking other essential medical treatments.
+MuscleFunctionSFL yeah well you could be an idiot. one study that says myofascial release is pointless? you know how long weve been massaging the body?
When I squat, I think about expanding my hips laterally. I also think about expanding my glute muscles laterally. I find that my form is deeper because of my emphasis on my hip joint, and more glute oriented becausd of my emphasis on expanding my glutes (on the way down in both cases).
Yep he also says to screw your feet into the floor, knees out, externally rotate. Think of your feet and hands as they were on fixed dinner plates, sounds them outwards.
I thought the same thing, then I realized that my mobility is so bad that his whole book is essentially a written program customized for everything I need to work on.
You can, but you won't get deep enough unless the ball is bigger. I have a few sizes, a softball size is sufficient to get in there lying on top of it, but a lacrosse ball is too small for that, in which case the kettle bell or a plate weight works well on top the ball as shown by Kelly
+ampecsu I know you posted this a year ago but..I am a physical therapy student and personal trainer in the charlotte area..been following kelly for years now and doing this stuff with different athletes. I would be happy to work with you
Cedric Le Mercier it's all about taking the muscle from where is starts holding it down and putting it through ranges of motion to break up tight muscle tissue he just uses kinesiology terms

I would argue yes as it is no more dangerous than man other things athletes do (such as supplementation). He makes the point in the video that you should have it be intense but you should not make a "pain face" when you are doing this as then it is getting to intense.
The body isn't fragile. You can't really bust an organ or tendon or muscle with self supplied force by accident.Your body will let you know if you're doing it wrong long before any damage is done.
Wow a 9 year old video and it still way a head of its time. This is just what I need 😃

your communication skill has astounded me from the first time I ever saw your stuff .... amazing work !!
This video was recommended due to my searching for Psoas relief and how to use the Pso-Rite device. This video was great though. Thanks!

Duuuuude. Well done! Thank you. Been trying to figure out a way to get deep in that lower ab and hit the psoas. Thanks again!
Dude, thanks! That's what I've been in need of.
This is perfect for a post deployment (think military) or any job involving extensive sitting or standing. Sciatic nerve problems, a great solution to that problem!
Thank God for , Kstar! This saved my back. I don't know y people hate on u.
This never gets old
Could not agree more.. would help me with my oly lifting endeavors so much
wish i could get a full body eval from this guy with a written program.
tankthecane82 what have you done to get this done. Look him up. Contact him

Thanks so much for creating short, informative clips!

Finally! way to go...Thank you so much!
I've been laying on a yoga block & using it to dig deep into my psoas. It's been working great in conjunction with the lacross ball kettlebell method
I don't know how he keeps this much information in his head lol.KStarr is a genius.
Just to say thank you.i have a strongman gym,and your blog has helped us soooo much
So it is an inch or 2 to the left/right of the belly button? I want to make sure I'm not putting pressure on important internal organs.
You are bloody great! Thank you for sharing so much great information!
Thanks for sharing bro , now this explains my leg and knee problems

Myofascial release

+MuscleFunctionSFL yeah well you could be an idiot. one study that says myofascial release is pointless? you know how long weve been massaging the body?
Lmao gtfo. Myofascial release is probably one of the best thing for people who have bad mobility.
I tried this out, my pain disappeared, will try this again tonight, how many times a day should I do this? And will doing this cure my hip flexor pain
I wish I'd seen this vid years ago! wow, great info!
Brilliant.
knees go out when I pull them towards my chest
When I squat, I think about expanding my hips laterally. I also think about expanding my glute muscles laterally. I find that my form is deeper because of my emphasis on my hip joint, and more glute oriented becausd of my emphasis on expanding my glutes (on the way down in both cases).

Great flossing tips! Have you tried the Hip Hook on your back with the kettlebell as your pressure?
This is so good
Those OG Forged shorts though🤙🏽🤙🏽
I see u time stamps!
Psoas is deep. Very deep.
what weight of kettlebell is that?
the BOOMSTICK from kabuki strength works great for this
So I did this on my right side no problem but on left side it shoots pain down my lower back all the way down to my feet is this bad?
Bravooo
Read one of his books and you will get it completely many aha moments after I read deskbound
Cheers brother! Nice Vid.
can you use a small/mini basketball to affect this area?
wow, thank you thank you thank you
I thought the same thing, then I realized that my mobility is so bad that his whole book is essentially a written program customized for everything I need to work on.
ur great. dumb it down bit. love psoas stuuf. roc on keely
wow... this works... thank you
awesome kettle bel
Could you do this on your belly rolling around on the ball?
Pure Soul Movement yeah I want to know that too
You can, but you won't get deep enough unless the ball is bigger. I have a few sizes, a softball size is sufficient to get in there lying on top of it, but a lacrosse ball is too small for that, in which case the kettle bell or a plate weight works well on top the ball as shown by Kelly
Anybody in Charlotte Nc area yall can recommend to do this stuff on me?
+ampecsu I know you posted this a year ago but..I am a physical therapy student and personal trainer in the charlotte area..been following kelly for years now and doing this stuff with different athletes. I would be happy to work with you
great upper and lower leg muscle development......
Video starts at 2:30
WTB that kettlebell
This is too good! I want to download your brain.
you are da man :)
man this guy speaks so fast I can't understand where he is trying to get to
Cedric Le Mercier it's all about taking the muscle from where is starts holding it down and putting it through ranges of motion to break up tight muscle tissue he just uses kinesiology terms
Man this guy talks too fast

I dont understand what you say, speak in a way people understand please
And that's smart for some random "athlete" to do who has no knowledge, education, or training on anatomy?
who are you talking about? Kelly?
I would argue yes as it is no more dangerous than man other things athletes do (such as supplementation). He makes the point in the video that you should have it be intense but you should not make a "pain face" when you are doing this as then it is getting to intense.
MuscleFunctionSFL Yes, it's not nearly as dangerous as not fixing your mobility problems and getting injured.
The body isn't fragile. You can't really bust an organ or tendon or muscle with self supplied force by accident.Your body will let you know if you're doing it wrong long before any damage is done.
