Addressing Pelvic Rotation
Aaron Brooks of Perfect Postures
Article and Audio Interview

When trying to address your athlete's or client's limitations due to pain or joint restriction, a pelvic rotation finding can be extremely valuable. If you look at most clients/athletes that have some type of chronic pain or inhibited joint function you will more than likely find a varying degree of pelvic rotation in the transverse plane. . . .

Tim Vagen
Article and Audio Interview
There is a common belief in the strength and conditioning community that overhead pressing exercise should not be used for the typical "shoulder athlete."

Understanding and Training Hip Flexion?
Michael Boyle
A recent post on my website forum (www.michaelboyle.biz) made me realize that often a short answer to a complicated question doesn’t work. A few of my readers seemed to think that all of the recent talk about a weak psoas muscle or an under-active psoas muscle might just be people being trendy. I for one strongly disagree. I think my increased knowledge of the biomechanics of hip flexion is one of the most valuable things that I have learned in the past five years. The problem with understanding hip flexion in general and the psoas muscle in particular is that we use the term “hip flexor” as a generic term to apply to five muscles, four of which have distinctly different leverage positions from the other one. . . . keep reading
