Daily Mobility Exercises by Dr. Kelly Starrett › Forums › Back › Right SI Joint + Hip Flexor (Psoas?) Pain
I have a recurring issue with inflammation in my right SI joint/lower back. It’s not constant, but it’s there. Certain movements will “awaken it”. If I bend over without warm-up i’ll feel it in my right SI area. If I were to jump down off a box, the impact would hurt my lower back.
When my back is inflamed, I almost always notice inflammation in my right hip-crease (I believe it’s my psoas muscle). The muscle is very tender to firm touch. I can generally release the tissue by digging a thumb in there or rolling on a ball. Doing so relieves the pain/inflammation in my back and seems to straighten out my hips.
Lunge stretches and the “gut smash” both also provide relief, but I cannot get rid of this pattern where my pelvis/hips get out of alignment. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I definitely notice the connection between hip pain and back tightness. I have recurring hip/glute soreness that can radiate around to the hamstring and to the hip flexor. I recently discovered that my QL muscles in my back are very sore but only when pressure is applied.
