This muscle is damn important since its the only one that connects the upper to lower body , starting from the first lumbar vertebrae and attaching to the Trochanteric joint. Its a stabilizer muscle that can also assist in movement. However it gets involved in so many movements that if other muscles are weak like core , buttocks , quads , hamstrings and even lats , this dude takes on the load, and for a while it might manage , but in time it can have dire consequences including , bad posture , lordosis , hip arthritis and can go down the whole kinetic chain to knees and ankles. Besides explaining how it works thorroughly (i still not got it 100% though) , exercises and stretches , the author also goes into the energy , yoga and chakra realm which i found quite interesting.
Decent read , and definetly a good one if you are looking to improve posture , heal back or hip pain and -going futher- emotional trauma etc (not sure bout the last one)...more
