Hi Esther,
i just bought 8 steps-- fantastic!
my problem is that i have chronically over tight abdominal and oblique muscles. my physio has never encountered tightness like this before, and we have spent hours deep massaging my stomach to relieve the tightness/knots in these stomach muscles.
my question is have you heard of anything like this before, and do you have any recommendations to deal with this situation using the Gokhale Method?

Hi Esther,
I read your book and learnt to use my inner corset muscles, but I was wondering what is the purpose and function of rectus abdominis if it's not used with the inner corset muscles?

Hi Brian,
Rectus abdominus's main action is to tuck the pelvis, a perfectly healthy thing to do in dance, sex and other movements. The problem is when rectus is always on, especially if the deeper abdominal muscles are negelected and weak, this locks the pelvis into a default tuck. Ideally the pelvis would default to a tipped, or anteverted position. Some tone in rectus is consistent with this and prevents "poochy belly" and helps stabilise the pelvis without forcing it into a tuck. I hope that helps.

from what you wrote, it sounds like doing physical activity with a retroverted pelvis causes overly tight abdominal muscles. is this correct?

i am going to try acupuncture to relieve my tight abdominals. is there a special type of acupuncturist i should see, or do they all know how to relieve abdominal tightness? is it safe?
