Coxxyx

[Scrap]

The Hips should be level to balance the Head, knees same bend.

Otherwise theres to many muscles working to compensate rather than being used as they should to generate.

Funny as it seems , Its the same as when you go the toilet and sit down ready. Look at the angle of the feet and ask why that angle then understand which muscles are relaxed and why .

Interesting thread Scrap!

My hips seem to go out every couple of months.

I'm obviously not doing something I should or I am doing something I shouldn't - probably both.

I am constantly amazed at how everything attached to my hips/coxxyx will be effected by it.

I'll have to spnd some more time re-reading this thread a few times I think!

I think my coxxyx has a tendency to tilt forward too much.

I think i remember reading somewhere that this is more common with women than men - so are knee problems because a high Q angle is common.

I think I remember something about high heels causing excessive calf tightness which pulls posture out of whack further up also being a common cause of this in women - but I don't wear high heels.

I only wear high heels if I'm going somewhere I know I'll be sitting down most of the night which is fortunate because I look like a constipated duck flapping around with my elbows out when I try to walk in high heels!

Another thought could be the contracted psoas muscle. Maybe I'm just expecting tight muscles to loosen off too easily?

I guess if you have tightness in particular muscle groups for years it probably takes years to fix sometimes too?

I'm getting the feeling I've missed something or multiple things which are key though!

Psoas muscle can be stretched in a matter of weeks Sharla and is a major player in this as regards posture. I promised you a stretch but things have made it difficult, Ive been up to my eyes in something Ill do it this week

Used to be a trick in Philidelphia where a fighte would get on the blind side an attempt to punch at the lowest point of the back or actually between the buttocks in attempting to rob the fighter of their legs.

Coincidence?

Thanks Scrap

That'll be awesome. I don't want to over-work you though so if you don't get a chance to do it I can wait.

The last search i did on psoas stretching was a while ago

I should really go back and see if there's anything I've missed and perhaps video myself doing the stretches I have to make sure I'm doing them properly before I pester you!

Andre - that story - ouch!
