Hip and Low Back Pain
Hip and Low Back Pain have plagued our society for centuries, but have become epidemic since we have become a nation of sitters. Even the most active people sit as part of our life style - driving, flying, working on computers, watching television, etc. We have realized for quite some time that the rotator muscles of the hip are the main cause for most of our hip and low back problems. Research dating over sixty years ago states the importance of the gluteus medius and piriformis muscles in hip and low back problems. However, even knowing those muscles are primarily rotators of the hip, we have totally missed that we must exercise these muscles in rotation. We have been exercising the muscles that rotate the shoulder for decades, but not the hip. That is where the answer to most hip and low back problems lies. Please read the tabs to the left to learn more about solutions to hip and low back, foot and knee, and the entire leg, associated with exercise in rotation, against resistance.
