In The Vital Glutes author and respected bodywork specialist John Gibbons looks at one of the most neglected areas of the body: the gluteal muscles. He takes readers on a fascinating journey of enlightenment, teaching us to recognize pain and dysfunctional patterns that arise from the gluteal muscles.
Gibbons addresses such questions as:
• Why do the gluteals potentially cause pain and dysfunction in distant sites of the body?
• How does the gait pattern contribute to pain and dysfunction?
• How can the application of gluteal-specific Muscle Energy Techniques aid full-body well-being?
In addition, he provides step-by-step techniques to identify and correct a number of impaired patterns as well as functional gluteal exercises that promote recovery.
John Gibbons is a registered osteopath, author, and lecturer for the Bodymaster Method. He specialises in the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports injuries and supports over 75 sports teams in his busy clinic at the prestigious University of Oxford, as well as teaching his acclaimed Bodymaster Method to physical therapists throughout the UK and internationally.
Gibbons is also the author of A Practical Guide to Kinesiology Taping for Injury Prevention and Common Medical Conditions, Muscle Energy Techniques, The Vital Nerves, The Vital Shoulder Complex, and Functional Anatomy of the Pelvis and the Sacroiliac Joint.
