Tight Hips
Here's the truth: Most people don’t realize
the cause of their problems is tight hip flexors.
We're not just talking about a bit of
soreness; tight hip flexors are the root cause of problems such as:
Nagging joint pains in your legs, lower back or hips
Walking with discomfort
Hips locking up
Bad posture
Trouble sleeping
High Anxiety
Digestive problems
Compromised Immune System
Circulatory issues
Loss of sexual performance
Lack of Explosiveness in the gym or sports
Tight hip flexors affect nearly everybody,
but few realize the impact on your whole body.
Again, everything flows through the hips.
Think of the hips as a barometer. The
health and flexibility of your hip muscles are an indicator of the strength and
health of our whole body.
Introducing The Body's Most Powerful,
Primal Muscle… … That You've Never Heard Of
The Psoas muscle
Your hips are the bridge between your upper
body and lower body. They are at the center of your body's movement.
Sitting within the well of your hip and
lower spine is the psoas major muscle, one of the two muscles that makes up the
iliopsoas.
It’s often called the "mighty"
psoas (pronounced so-az) for the many important functions it plays in the
movement of your body.
The psoas is the only muscle in the human
body connecting the upper body to the lower body.
The muscle attaches to the vertebrae of the
lower spine, moves through the pelvis and connects to a tendon at the top of
the femur. A functioning psoas muscle creates a neutral pelvic alignment,
stabilizes the hips, supports the lower spine and abdomen, supports the organs
in the pelvic and abdominal cavity and gives you greater mobility and core
strength.
When it functions well, it has the power
to…
rapidly drop ugly body fat that stubbornly clings to your body.
train harder, heavier and gain strength faster than you thought possible.
hit your peak of sexual health.
flood your mind and body with renewed energy and vigor.
Put simply, this muscle is the core of
activity in your body. So, when it's out of balance or if the psoas tightens,
there are serious consequences which flow throughout the body.
And there's one activity, in particular,
that's the sworn enemy of your psoas muscle…
