John Gibbons looks at one of the most neglected areas of the body: the gluteal muscles.

The Vital Glutes takes you on a fascinating journey of enlightenment, teaching the reader to recognise pain and dysfunctional patterns that arise from the gluteal muscles.

Questions answered in the book include:

  • Why are the glutes potentially causing pain and dysfunction to distant sites of the body?
  • How does the gait pattern contribute to pain and dysfunction?
  • And, how can the application of gluteal specific Muscle Energy Techniques aid full body wellbeing?
    This book also offers the reader step-by-step tasks to identify and correct a number of dysfunctional patterns, and functional gluteal exercises in order to aid recovery.
