Tight Hip, Twisted Core: The Key to Unresolved Pain

In her bestselling book, Tight Hip, Twisted Core, licensed Physical Therapist, Christine Koth reveals the key to realigning your body and ending unsolvable pain.  

Based on 20+ years of study and clinical practice, the book gives you the Three Simple Steps to better align your body and live a pain-free life without surgery, medications, or thousands of dollars.

What if the underlying cause of your pain is a tight and unrecognized muscle in your hip that no one has mentioned to you before?

Do you have pain in your back, tailbone, pelvis, hip, knee, or foot that seems connected and won't go away, no matter what you try?

All of these issues can persist because of tightness in the iliacus (sounds like "silly yak kiss"), an undertreated muscle in your hip that is part of what is commonly called the "hip flexor." Unfortunately, trying to stretch it doesn't work and its tightness causes weakness and tightness in other muscles, too.

Most people don't even know they have an iliacus, let alone understand how it's affecting their life, causing pain with sitting, exercise, sexual positions, and sleep. The truth is that almost everyone has tightness in this area and this tightness twists your foundation, creating issues up and down the chain, head to toe.

As a result of too much sitting, driving, running, biking, kicking, heavy lifting, yoga, dance, gymnastics, or stress, a tight hip could be the missing link to enjoying a pain-free life.

In Tight Hip, Twisted Core you will:

  • Discover how this muscle impacts your body from head to toe
  • Determine if you are one of the millions of people with a tight iliacus muscle and why
  • Release the tension in the muscle for good
  • Get your body aligned for pain-free performance
  • Prevent this muscle from getting tight ever again

Based on decades of physical therapy study and clinical practice, this book outlines 3 simple steps to get your hip healthy and your core aligned, helping you finally solve your pain for good.

Very informative and right on point

I have honestly spent thousands seeing practitioners over the last 8 years seeking to aleviate my backpain and nothing has helped long term or the practitioners just didn't have the knowledge. I felt for the first time, someone really understood where my pain is coming from and how to alleviate it. Have started the stretches & exercises which I have to modify as my muscles are extremely tight but improvement is on the way. Saving up to get the hip hook as well.

Incredibly helpful.

I had been having issues with my lower back and had been going to a chiropractor for several months. The issue was not resolving as fast as I had anticipated. I purchased the hip hook and the Twisted Core book and started using it as recommended. My back started getting better quickly after using the hip hook. I am still a work in progress but my back isn't limiting my activities any more.

Very informative

I'm more than 1/2 way through this book. I find it very informative and enjoyable. I'm not new to understanding the musculature of the hip/pelvis/lower back, however this was written in a way that I've had quite a few enlightened moments. It is somehow taking information I knew a step further and giving me a good visual picture. It is also giving me a new respect for pain and understanding it is your body trying to communicate. I also love her description of the brain/body/pain interaction. I did purchase the hook tool and will use it when I get to...read moreI'm more than 1/2 way through this book.

If you've ever wondered why your body hurts and can't seem to figure out what to do to make it better -- READ THIS BOOK! Fascinating and easy read. Concepts are written in a clear and inviting way. Great resources, images, exercises, and cautionary advice on how our day to day activities may in fact be causing our pain. Learn about trigger points, refered pain, trauma in the body, as well as how our body is connected (joints, ligaments, connective tissue; basic anatomy, and how the muscles work to support or fight each other in a tug of war). Hands down, buy this book, or even buy two (to give away)! You will want to share what you learn and experience! 😉

  • What type of issue brought you to this product? A client told me about their experience.
  • What activity do you believe is responsible for this issue? Wanted to read / use it myself, add to my self care toolkit

Informative, Inspiring and It works- The Mark

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!
