Very informative, will be using this more often 👍🏻
Very clear and informative, learnt It on my massage course but not what results to look for.
Thank you John, this was very comprehensive!
Glad it was helpful! Regards JG
what a great video!!
Thanks for the lovely comments, regards JG
Fantastic video. Looks like quite a time saver too when compared to doing separate Obers and adductors test. Great tip about the TFL too. I need to get onto your BodyMaster courses. Just unable to get the weekdays off at the moment.
Dave B thanks for message, regards JG

Very nice one doc!
Thank you kindly! Thanks for the message, regards JG
Love your work John. Your videos are always my “go to” when I want to look up anything sports massage related
Thanks for the message and lovely comments, regards JG
here's several things for treating tight hip flexors naturally
Slowly start walking further each day
Try an anti-inflammatory diet
Think about trying yoga classes
Checkout some online guides
(I discovered these and why they work from Fergs Pain Ease website )
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out causes of tight hip flexors try Nevolly Hip Relief Nerd (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got excellent success with it.
Excellent info.
Thanks for the message, regards JG
John, would you have any suggestions for a right side anterior pelvic tilt due to child bearing? Not to mention this causing havoc in my body on the right side. Thank you so much!
Try the technique I have to correct an anterior innominate as that might help, regards JG
Question sir. When I do a psoas stretch relieves my lower back pain. But when I do the lay down test. My legs always the way down. Is it weak or tight?
Love it
Thanks, regards JG
I did this test, and yes, I have tight hips - the exercise strained my hips!!
Be careful when performing the tests if the hip is restricted as probably not a muscular issue, regards JG
Thanks
No problem, regards jG
Is there any role of PSOAS MUSCLES In Occurrence and or recovery of Hernia?
Not sure if i understand the question - the Psoas is naturally a very important muscle. regards JG
Super
Thanks, regards JG
I have what I believe to be strained adductors on both sides (but mostly on the right), and a problem in the right hip flexor region, that have stopped me from running of late.
I tried this test whilst waiting to see a physio. My right leg behaves as it should (whether I'm pulling it to my chest to test the left psoas muscle, or dropping it off the side of the bed to test the right psoas muscle.)
However, my left leg internally rotates at the femur when I pull it towards my chest on testing the right psoas, and externally rotates by some way when I drop it off the edge of the bed on testing the left psoas.
I assumed that my problems in this area are mostly right-sided, but perhaps I am wrong?
I would get the physio to assess the hip joint as it might not be an issue directly with the muscles that relate to the hip joint - like the psoas and adductors, regards JG
@@JohnGibbons I will do - thanks for the response!
Hi John I can't even move my hips what should I do please help me out.
See a therapist like me where you live as sure they can help, regards jG
I'm trying to comprehend what muscles are working? not working? if patient is drawing knee to chest, instead of patients knee going to chest as seen in this video -- if the patient's right knee goes out towards the right shoulder? I have all your books available for purchase thank you for making life easier for a licensed nurse to ask better physical therapy questions.
What muscles are not working where patient isn't flexing a right knee to chest but goes towards right shoulder? Do you describe this in one of your books? I searched for it in your "Functional Anatomy of the Pelvis and the Sacroiliac Joint"
The test is called the Modified Thomas test and mainly looks at the 'apparent length' of the muscles of the Psoas, Rectus femoris - even the TFL and adductors can be tested from the position, regards and this test is in the pelvis book - JG
@@JohnGibbons Thank you so much! Sir, for all the videos and your books! I'm looking forward to the finishing of your book on the Vital Spine.
Is there a reason you would do these tests rather than simply using palpation to identify the state of the muscle? I would think only in patients who are possibly obese or to gather an objective value? cheers
Chris B thanks for comments. Regards John
Can weak iliopsoas muscles cause lower back pain?
I am sure it can, regards JG
TFL ?
Tempted to stretch something else
🤣🤣🤣
