Book

Loved the book I learned alot

I stumbled on the book "Tight Hip, Twisted Core" in a used bookstore. I took one look at the title and bought the book, because it described exactly how I felt! For years, I had been telling chiropractor after chiropractor, how I felt like one side of my body was "twisting" inward. I had been diagnosed with everything...arthritis, bursitis, sciatica.....and none of the prescribed treatments or therapies worked. Fast forward to me finding this book. Before I even finished the book, I ordered all three of the tools. These, along with the instructional videos online, have completely turned my physical and mental health around. I no longer limp. I am able to lift weights again, pain free. I can engage in everyday life and not be afraid that I'm going to fall, due to my leg buckling! I feel hopeful and normal. Do not hesitate to buy any or all of these tools. If you are "on the fence", order these, and you'll be able to JUMP off that fence in no time!! : )

This was an excellent and informative book. I'm so glad I purchased it.

Loved the book. Been slowly implementing more and more from it. But where are the tightthiptwistedcore.com/readersgift videos and exercise handout mentioned in the conclusion? That website brought me here to alethahealth.com (where I bought my hip hook!) but not seeing those resources?

This book was apparently self-published and clearly didn’t have access to a (good) editor. there are some misprints and identical images printed side by side. the writing is pretty elementary and it’s more than double the price it should be for these factors. the content is helpful, but probably stretched out to fit a large print book. this is probably more of a thick pamphlet-sized amount of content.

I had been doing hip stretches and foam rolling for quite some time, periodically over the course of years. The pain would lessen, but still come back, and kept getting a little worse each time. Having a very physically demanding job helped to loosen muscles during the day, but after sitting or sleeping, the pain always came back.
It took me a couple days of working to release my psoas before I could get the Mark comfortably deep enough to apply it, but once I could get the Iliacus to release and do the recommended exercises the improvement has lasted much longer. I expect continued improvement as time goes on.

I am slowly reading it. I am only on page 32.

Christine clearly explains how these core muscles are not functioning as they should. She provides clear examples with muscle sketches so we can thoroughly understand the system of how the muscles interact and connect to each other. Best of all she created a tool that can reach the necessary area to release the muscle. I felt she was describing everything i have been going through and i know why and how to reverse this. This is life changing for me. Thank you Christine!

This book provided context to why I was feeling pain and tightness in my hips. I’ve had tight hips before related to desk job, but as a distance runner and on my feet for work and parenting, I was perplexed as to why I was now getting hip pain. Through this book I understand more clearly the relationship between the muscles in the hip and the symptoms are hinting at a deeper issue: an overly activated illiopsoas. I purchased both the Hip Hook and the Mark (pressure point ball), have found pain relieve after the first use. The book helped me understand the whole system and why I was treating my illiopsoas and not my pain points in my posterior chain and abductors. Highly recommend!

Please confirm shipping address

Gives a lot of great information. I took it to my therapy appt and they plan on getting a copy.

I wanted to hit my drive a little further than usual and paid the price! I injured my right SI Joint.I read all about Tight hips(perhaps more than I needed!) and used the Mark according to instructions. Three weeks later stretching every day and one visit to the chiropractor I am pain free..
Christine’s explanation was excellent. Thank you.

Great book, easy to read and understand with useful illustrations. Great resource for my PT clients.

This book is the first book that ever explained the reason I get lower back pain. Excellent book. Highly recommend. Who knew we had muscles so deep that affect the whole lower back, hip and knees! She explains it in a way that is easily understood and educates the reader on how to prevent future pain.

Love it! Very well written. Easy to read. Have recommended it to several friends

This book was very helpful to my understanding of the mechanics of the physical discomfort. The author presents various solutions. It is well written and clear. I know I will use it as a resource in the future.

I am not yet certain that the Hip Hook and the Book and ball have resolved my issues. I have had discomfort and intermittent pain for several months. At the time I purchased these products, I was going through a well-supervised Physical Therapy program. That has finished so I'm on my own now. I just need to be diligent for several more weeks before I can definitively say the products are lessening my pain.

Very inforative information that works!

For the first time in my adult life l am without back & hip pain. This book is life changing!

Never has there been a product that targets the iliacus straight into the point. Psoas release is phenomenal as well

I just received my hip hook and was not disappointed. I have been having considerable pain in my right hip and, most recently, lower back pain. After using the hip hook just once, I could feel the tension release in my right hip, which was just amazing. I am using this every day and am finding that it is pretty intense, like a deep tissue massage. I look forward to increased range of motion and no more pain! This is a very good product, and I'm going to check out the product for neck and shoulders as well! Thank you!

Understand the body to use the hip hook better.

Great information and a lot of illustrations

I ordered the e-book, and it was truly the missing link I had been searching for!

This book was truly inspiring and I read it very fast. I also took what I learned from it and started applying it to my own life. Soon, I will introduce it to my husband, children and the class that I teach for childbirth education.

200 pages to find out I should buy a ridiculously priced piece of plastic....you should be ashamed.

Saves time going to a physical therapist does everything myself and also uses for my clients.

This book has enlightened me in connecting muscles and bones as well as helping with flexibility motions.
