Tight hip, twisted core : the key to unresolved pain
(Book)

What if the underlying cause of your pain is a tight and unrecognized muscle in your hip that is just waiting for attention? Do you have a pain in your back, tailbone, pelvis, hip, knee, or foot that won't go away, no matter what you try? All of these issues can persist because of tightness in the iliacus, a muscle in your hip that is part of what is commonly called the "hip flexor." Most people don't even know they have an iliacus, let alone understand how it's affecting their life, causing pain with sitting, exercise, sexual positions, and sleep. The truth is that almost everyone has tightness in this area and this tightness twists the core of the body. As a result of too much sitting, driving, running, biking, kicking, heavy lifting, yoga, dance, gymnastics, or stress, a tight hip could be the missing link to enjoying a pain-free life. This book outlines "3 Simple Steps" to get your hip healthy and your core aligned, helping you to resolve your pain without expensive treatments, surgeries, and medications. --From back cover.
