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.

Hip health is key to a pain free 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 Prevent iliacus and psoas muscle tightness from developing ever again Get detailed hip flexor exercises, tips to address trigger points, exercises for sciatica, tools to keep the hip flexible & solutions for pelvic pain.

15. Peak: The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionizing Sports
Author: by Dr. Marc Bubbs
Chelsea Green Publishing
English
384 pages
An integrated and personalized approach to health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset Perfect for personal trainers, sports science students, fans of high level fitness (crossfit, marathon training, iron man, team sports) and gym heads! There is a new revolution happening in sports as more and more athletes are basing their success on this game-changing combination: health, nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset.
Unfortunately, the evidence-based techniques that the expert PhDs, academic institutions, and professional performance staffs follow can be in stark contrast to what many athletes actually practice. When combined with the noise of social media, old-school traditions, and bro-science, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction.
Peak is a groundbreaking book exploring the fundamentals of high performance (not the fads), the importance of consistency (not extreme effort), and the value of patience (not rapid transformation). Dr. Marc Bubbs makes deep science easy to understand, and with information from leading experts who are influencing the top performers in sports on how to achieve world-class success, he lays out the record-breaking feats of athleticism and strategies that are rooted in this personalized approach.
