    Unfortunately many people have tight psoas muscles, rendering the glutes almost useless.

    And why is that exactly? Do you think there is a foot relationship between a tight psoas, and if so what would you suggest be done about that?

    I wouldn't bother attempting to reason with Sicknote....lots of supratentorial vacuum....from what I have seen.

    I think it has something to do with the pelvis being heavily in anterior tilt?, (loss of height/poor posture).

    One problem is lack of core strength (pelvic stabilisation). How about too much sitting?. But the most overlooked is too do with the diet. People don't realise what affect certain foods/beverages have on stiffening/tightening the body (muscles/tendons).

    Take people who drink coffee & also do yoga for example. Completely counter productive.

    Ok, now show that it works in patients with knee pain and whether or not their knee pain improves.
    Also, how about testing it while they run, if that is possible, to see if they can do what they were trained to do with their glutes statically.

    Don't forget: Gluteus Maximus and minimus are inhibited in most athletes due to tight psoas (Summer, 1988), rendering the glutes useless.

    All the bridging & running drills in the world won't deal with tight hip flexors.

    It was kind of funny watching the fan boys on various blogs and forums start claiming that we need to deal with the glutes in those with achilles tendon problems based on the above study.....go figure.

    What this study showed that gluteal activity was different in those who had achilles tendon problems, which could mean:
    1) Glut problems caused the achilles problem due to a gait alteration
    or
    2) The pain in the achilles tendon changed the gait and that altered the EMG pattern in the glutes.

    I think the overwhelming consensus of pretty much everyone (except for the fan boys) would agree that its probably (2) is the most likely explanation for the findings in the study in the absence of any other evidence. There is certainly nothing in the study saying that the gluts need to be treated in those with achilles problems.

    Having said that, I just picked up this comment in a blog post (ie it carries a lot of weight :dizzy:):
    Not saying I agree with it, but its an interesting thought.

    Another quote from that blog post that made my head hurt.


    Yea right, the Achilles is a load bering structue. True that if you are overstriding you have to move your trailing leg farther and faster and that might overload your Achilles.
