Unlock Your Hip Flexors Pdf Download Mike Westerdal | Page 81

Each wing like hip bone rotates in opposite direction. So when your
walk, one hip bone which is ileum along with the sacroiliac joint rotates
forward while the opposite one on the other side rotates back. If one of
the hip bones is struck in a forward, rotated position, then the same
sacroiliac join cannot rotate back freely and fully during the second half
of the walking stride.
The buttock muscles on the same restricted side are forced to
compensate by pulling harder at the hip joint to swing your leg back.
Normally, the sacroiliac and hip joints rotate simultaneously. However
with a dysfunctional sacroiliac joint, the hip joint is forced to rotate more
than it needs to.
Now I am sure do you see the potential for damage, especially if you
take 10,000 steps a day? If the hip joint is forced to excessively,
eventually you will wear it out. The affected hip may being to click and
pop as it needs to create a new axis of rotation.
This can lead to premature hip degeneration and arthritis. The hip feels
stiff in the morning. It will also feel stiff and clunky as you get up and
move around after sitting down for a while. What about the buttock
muscles?
Now let’s say you have a hand crank radio? Its old and hasn ’t been cared
for; some of the internal gears are rusty. When you crank it, you notice
that it doesn’t turn as smoothly as before. The internal gears are not
moving freely and efficiently.
It requires more effort to crank the handle. Within minutes, your arm
muscles get tired from cranking the rusty gears inside the radio. Now the
same principle applies to your buttock muscles. Eventually the
compensated buttock muscles will eventually wear out.
