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

Este de-a dreptul fascinant sa citesti cum oameni cat se poate de diversi din punct de vedere social/moral/religios..etc precum tarani, bancheri , directori, fosti militari, profesori , figuri monahale, legionari , evrei ,reactionari ,unguri , regalisti, jurnalisti, ... oameni care in oricare alte imprejurari nu ar fi avut cum sa se intalneasca, ajung tovarasi de celula si cum reusesc , sau nu, sa coabiteze, cum se toarna unul pe altul, cum se jignesc, cum se mascaresc, sau, dimpotriva, cum invata unul de la altul, cum gasesc raspunsurile la interbarile vietii in religie , filosofie , istorie...., cum improvizeaza adevarate cenacluri literare in care discuta, dezbat, argumenteaza sau pur si simplu se educa in literatura romana si universala. Fabulos !
As minti daca as spune ca a fost o calatorie lina. Pe alocuri cartea m-a plictisit deoarece unele crampeie nu erau de interes pentru mine, dar am continuat pentru ca la fel ca la pacanele, stiam ca urmeaza va urma la scurt timp o victorie, o runda castigata, ceva interesant.
