Shocking how „sit straight for 5 seconds“ is an exercise that needs to be mastered.
It’s awakening
wonderful. thank you. from an 80 year old great grandmother, recovering from ankle surgery and a stroke.
Wow. This is great! I'm older (71) and was worried I couldn't do this. I got down on the floor (overcoming my resistance) and found it pleasurable and fun. In a week of doing moderate stretching, I am feeling so much better! Thanks!
..coming down
Yay, Stan! Good for you! So many of my friends and family just seemed to give up on their bodies by the time they reached 71 years of age.
Keep it going strong Stan
This exercise is amazing! I felt a release and a pop. I will be doing this everyday. Thank you!
Getting down to the floor and getting back up from the floor in itself is a great mobility exercise that people gradually stop doing as they get older and become confined to chairs and couches, which will take their mobility away and keep them stuck in rigid patterns. Never too old to change! I worked with a 91 old lady (caucasian) who had a total knee replacement and total hip replacement 3 months apart, and was motivated to get back to her yoga! very inspiring, right? I would never judge people's abilities and potential based on their age and conditions.
i’m like. 30 and i’ve had low back pain for about a year. i had a back spasm that was so scary etc and this video. one time only. just hugely improved my back pain. what a cool guy!!!!
Unbelievable results!
I had a constant pain in my hip for over a year and after doing this exercise it is gone!
Actually think this helped with my stretching. I’ve been having pain in the hip for over a year and going to physio twice a week for months now. He said to keep stretching it but after watching this video my stretching was a deeper. Thank you!! 🙏
Excited to find this! I tried it along with your video and found it totally doable. I’m going to add this to my daily routine of stretches and strengthening exercises. Thank you so much for sharing this technique with us. You present it very nicely and simply-with a good vibe, too. 🙏❤️
Very relaxing. I watched this video while laying on my back in bed and fell asleep.
Brilliant, going to use this. Beautiful space and I love the pace! Thank you
Thanks so much! I’ll do these before my exercises for seniors. You’re very clear in explaining what to do. I appreciate you for sharing this movement/exercise.
Thank you, Taro! I'm still recovering from right hip replacement last March, and just found that this gave my hip more space to move, and that it moved more smoothly and naturally. I appreciate your time and effort!
Thank you for this… I’m 67 and have been so sedentary that I now have issues. I really appreciate you, thank you for being 🕉😌🙏
This is certainly my weak link. My hips are so tight/restricted I couldn't do the other psoas exercises at all. This exercise reduced my pain immediately. And I had greater hip extension and less space under my lower back. Thank you so much for providing this information and activity.
I was hurt by rolling heavy hay and pulling big weeds for many years-in just 5 times of doing this my back came closer to floor- I will be watching you regularly-thank you -I have tipped pelvis and narrow tight hips -this will help-just little movements-exercises ruin me -i am older
Thank you so much for this free content! I am a martial artist and now a parent of a small child, in graduate school, and missing the feelings of wellbeing that I had back when I had so much more time and money for classes and practice. I'm slowly building my home practice with things I remember and little tips like this from generous and talented teachers on CZcams. 🙏🙏🙏
I suffer from multiple Sclerosis (MS) and my hip flexors are affected really bad. This exercise is definitely a bit of me. I'm going to include this in my routines 💪
Checked out a multitude of these videos. After completing a few of your extension processes, you are my guy!!! Thank you 🙏
What a simple yet powerful psoas release exercise. As I sit far too much on the job, this is key to do throughout my shift! Thanks!
Good stuff - just what I need ... thank you for your thought out training sessions.
The results are immediate in that I feel everything you say I should feel. I'll explore your channel now. Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this 🙏! I'm 56 and have started roller skating again 🛼😜 and have been struggling with sore and tight hip flexors during and after a skate session. First time doing this and I feel immediate relief and release and I can't wait to continue to do this every morning to help with my flexibility and hopefully improve my skating style as well!
Very good!
I’m impressed at 7:11 how easily you stood up with no pushing of your arms, just great balance and flexibility.
This is what I've needed .This is very effective .I'm grateful.Thank you.
Mr. Iwamoto.. I am 65 years old and have osteoarthritis in hip and knee joints .. I stopped jogging about 6 years ago bc of this and started yoga instead .. Recently I added Pilates and now your routines, to increase my range of movement.. I hope they help me .. Thank you
Thank you for the generous and helpful hip flexor wisdom!
Wow it really works! I saw this CZcams last night n tried it this morning. Amazing! You are a genius👍🏾
My wife just watch the video with me and she tried it and she noticed the difference thank you.
Outstanding content! Thank you for this.
GOLD! Thanks for sharing!
Amanzing result. Thank you so much.
This is awesome. Thank you so much!!
Great video & Thank you for the help!
I don’t know how scrunched up I was but man it felt like a new day with these !! Breathing is so easy
Had a bad fall a month ago. Fell on some metal pipes and broke my hip and shoulder. I am up walking around and will be using you to help me heal even more. Thank you.
Top! Very well explained!!!
Wow! It totally changed that space. Thank you so much.
Thanks Taro, that's magic! I'm going to incorporate that into my routine, thanks!
Thank you for this. I couldn't walk properly without pain last week. After doing this exercise, most of the pain went and I can freely walk again.
After months of trying to stretch hip flexors to improve my anterior pelvic tilt watching multiple CZcams videos. This video explains first to activate and inhibit the psoas muscle before stretching.
I am praying it works, as im fed up of my gut and butt sticking out. Thank you 🙏🏻
Or maybe you should do some damn planks for a month or so.
@@clray123 Rude.
That is amazing! Absolutely blew my Mind. Thank you so much!
I just tried this. It totally works and increased circulation through my legs. I struggle with anterior pelvic tilt and this was very interesting! I’m about to watch all the videos.
Great work!
Thank you!
Wow! Thank you very much! I work out regularly and am in pretty good shape. I recently learned to crochet and have become addicted to it. It is a wonderful hobby but it wreaks havoc on my sciatic nerve, because of sitting so long. I followed along with your video. The arch in my back was much less after the exercise you taught! Also, I could feel a different stretch in the hip flexors, which I don't usually get. I love it! Thank you again! I'm going to subscribe!
This is one of the most helpful
Videos I have ever seen. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time to teach us.
thanks for sharing.
Wow first set following you with positive results! Thank you 🙏
Oh my goodness, thank you! This is perfect, as you say, before stretching hip flexors. Two years ago, I had this severe hip pain for several days, and at the same time never-before constipation. After days, I took a pain reliever, and got a sleep and cleared it all up, but the hip discomfort continued. My MD had no answers, so I looked around online to see if there was some answers, and discovered the issues related to the Psoas muscle. Since then, I have been doing exercise that has helped to rid me of the severe problems. Your video here, will help enormously. I look forward to learning more.
Excellent advice!!
This is amazing. Really helpful.
Wow, just tried it. Unbelievable. Immediate relief in my lower back.
I have never been able to sit cross-legged on the floor comfortably. You identified a muscle I didn’t even know I had. This simple psoas exercise will help me address this and my range of motion.
There might be more than one reason why you have a problem sitting cross legs or Indian style! I type so as could do it but also hip adductors bad SI joint. I have an expert on this because I got hit by a semi when I was 17 and I had to figure out what the hell was wrong cuz the doctors couldn't. I invented a new way to treat spondylolises. I don't think you'll go wrong by adding this in your routine no matter what without doing it an examination I've never seen it really hurt anybody. Everybody I've tested has abnormally tight hip flexors unless they're active and very young. Most people have a lower back muscle tightening up along with a hip flexor because they're lower back or so is out. So you want to find out the cause first. Good luck to you
@@BJETNT do you have a link to these resources?
This is amazing! I have had front hip pain and tightness for over 5 years and this is the best exercise I have tried for relief. Thank you so much!
WOW Taro. This is amazing. I had quite a bit of pain from standing at a concert for hours while I’m rehabbing an injury - so much my muscles were cramping up. This released my contracted psoas after three reps and I can now lay with my back totally flat to the ground - and I have an anterior tilt! Unreal! Will be doing this one daily - I think it might help my other rehab exercises!
It worked! Thank you for such a detailed and useful exercise.
Thank you so much for this. i will do this everyday. It helped me so much. You are a Blessing.
Brilliant! Thank you
Thank you …felt less space in my back at the first try….will continue to do the exercise many thanks
This was actually amazing! Instant results
I will make sure to do this every time I exercise my legs
Thankyou so much for all that you share 🙏🏻
Excellent instruction! Subscribed
Awesome video thank you for sharing 👍
So effective, thank you.
This Really helps a lot, thank you and great video!
Wow. Nice. Thank you.
Excellent! Thank you
Thanks for the video. I’ve definitely started to realize that my own tightness stems more from muscle weakness and poor activation patterns than anything else. This seems like a good exercise to address just that.
I thought we was pulling my leg for a minute but then I really felt the muscles engage and felt better after listening and doing it right
Felt this immediately! Great!
I think it's great and it works for sure. THANK YOU
Omg you voodoo man...instant subscribe. This is incredible
Excellent. Thank you.
This is a great video, and trust me I've been watching and trying out a lot of psoas videos lately. I am going to do this one daily. Thanks!
This is Very, Very effective! Definitely adding it to my routine. And, it is so short & easy to do!
Great video, thanks you 🙏
Excellent! Thank you.
After 4 years of tight hip flexors this video helped me so much
Glad to hear!
Enjoyed the information. I subscribed and looking forward to moving a little more freely. Thanks Again.
I had a hip flexor pain after jogging the night before and just tried this. It immediately lessen the pain by 50%! Arigato Taro San
Liked and subbed..looking forward to watching your back catalogue,especially neck and shoulder pain.😀👏🏻
Thanks. You make the exercise so simple and effective. I am struggling with my hip flexors and tight hamstrings and it is challenging to do do stretches.
Great explanation!
Thanks! I'll try this before yoga!
So helpful thank you!
This worked perfectly for me, thank you!
I'm 74 y/o these exercises are so good. I do need the cushion and was surprised what a difference it has made
I struggle with this everyday ..
my psoas muscles are so tight, you are a real find
I have subscribed 🎉❤
Excellent exercise, great explanation.
I felt a significant reduction in the arch of my back laying down after doing the exercises. I will begin to add this to my daily routine and I signed up for the free literature on low back pain. Thank you!
Awesome!!
@@TaroIwamoto I’m in the same boat, I’m going to reach out
Thank you so much for this!
I fell upon this video by chance, and am so grateful for your help, which has had an immense and immediately releasing effect (the very first time I did it today). I have had moderate residual and deep pain in my lower-to-mid back (off slightly to the left) - the result of a back injury that has hampered sitting, walking, standing, sleeping, and yoga for the last four weeks.
After doing this really well explained and demonstrated exercise, I am stunned and so deeply grateful that the pain and tightness has literally disappeared.
It’s taken four weeks to stumble on this amazing curl-and-and-engage exercise, which I’ll be doing daily - first thing after (now) jumping out of bed, and definitely as Taro has suggested, before any exercise.
Thank you again.
I lied down on the floor, but there is no space to even fit my palm behind my back... I wonder what will happen after I do this exercise.
@@user-tx6or7kh4w You will become one with the floor! ☯
This is very helpful I really appreciate your videos you do a great job explaining things have a good night
Thank you, sir. I had been doing similar forms of these movements, but your instruction is very helpful-- not to mention your insight. I have subscribe and will share your channel with others. Peace, my friend.
Amazing! Thank you so much. I've been trying to get my hip flexor to release forever and try to activate my psoas!
Works great!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Fantastic..thank you
I have had this space for a while and tried different stretches but this has been really helpful. One attempt and could lie down and tilt my head down without pain. Great!!
Ohmygoodness, this was great!
I love feldenkrais because of the reference points. This is a great technique for the hip flexors. Thank you!
Magic! Been trying to stretch my hip flextors for over 20 years. This gave instant effect!
Thank you so much! Blessings from Sweden!
Wonderful!
Athletic and daily active. This is so simple and so effective. Thanks!
