Synopsis

*From The Creator Of The Hip Hook*

The underlying cause of your pain could be a tight and unrecognized muscle in your hip.

Do you have 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 result from tightness in the iliacus and psoas, commonly called the "hip flexor" which can cause not just hip pain, but pain all over the body.

Most people don't even know they have an iliacus, but this tight muscle can cause lower back pain while sitting, hip pain with driving & can even make you prone to hip osteoarthritis. The truth is that almost everyone has hip flexor tightness and this tension 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. Hip health is key to a pain * body.

In this book you will:

• Discover how these muscles impact your body from head to toe
• Determine if you are one of the millions of people with a tight iliacus or psoas muscle
• Release the tension in these stressed tissues for good
• Get your body aligned for pain-free performance & increased endurance lowering your risk of injuries

Based on decades of physical therapy practice, this book outlines 3 simple steps to get your hip healthy and your core aligned, helping you resolve your pain and create hip mobility without expensive treatments, surgeries, and medications.
