Muscle knots in the hip flexors require direct, prolonged pressure, and often can\u2019t be released by stretching alone. This muscle tension can be the root cause of chronic low back, groin, hip, and knee pain.<\/p>\n<p>Because if there\u2019s one thing <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/rugbyrepscotland.com\/\">Dads\u2019 love<\/a><\/span><\/span>, it\u2019s an effective tool that gets the job done.

Nearly everyone had a tight iliacus muscle and next to no one was aware of it. In her practice, this pattern of tigh<br \/>tness soon became a predictable root cause of pain in the lower back, hip, tailbone, knee, and foot.<\/p>\n<p>After countless successes releasing the iliacus with her hands and no effective tools on the market for people to release it themselves, Christine was compelled to create the Hip Hook, the only tool that can<br \/>replicate the iliacus muscle release that only a skilled practitioner could previously provide. By simply lying upon the Hip Hook for 2 minutes per day, tension in this muscle dissolves for good.<br \/>&#8220;A tight iliacus is a missing link in recovery from back, tailbone, hip, and knee pain since it affects the alignment of the entire body.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/oo3-615x615.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Get Hip Hooked and experience the &#8216;hurts so good&#8217; release of the muscle that you didn&#8217;t know was tight.&#8221;<br \/>&#8211;<br \/>Christine Koth, Inventor<br \/>The Hip Hook presale officially starts today with big discounts and perks at TheHipHook.com.<\/p>\n<p>Christine Koth, MPT is a physical therapist who has specialized in the hip area for decades and has been aptly named the &#8220;Iliacus Queen.&#8221; She recently put the iliacus muscle on the map in her best-selling<br \/>book, Tight Hip, Twisted Core &#8211; The Key to Unresolved Pain, where she uncovers the 3 major causes of a tight iliacus:<br \/>\u25cfToo much sitting or driving<br \/>\u25cfOveruse with activities like running, cycling, and kicking<br \/>\u25cfHyperflexibility, yoga, and dance<\/p>\n<p>When tension in the iliacus remains unchecked, it compresses the hip and twists the core, changing the mechanics of the pelvis, spine, and hip in a way that can contribute to pain all over the body.
