In this video i demonstrate the application of treating two incredible important trigger points, the first is the trigger point to the Psoas muscle which is located just above the lesser trochanter , the second one is the Rectus Femoris trigger point thta is also located just below its attachment to the AIS .
Both of these trigger points are in my opinion two of the greatest soft tisuue restrictors for hip extension, so if your treating lower limb athletes this has to be must region to focus on assess for hip extension restrictions.

There is a true ART to this technique, you have to start very gently and build from there, if you push the pressure your clients will guard against you and you will never really be able to engage the the trigger point and eactivation, you should feel a gradual melting of the area and if done correctly you should end up being able to put your fulll body weight into the area .
Once you have deactivated the area you need to search for more tenderness by moving either superior/inferior/lateral or medial to completely deactivate the area.
