Mathew,

Thanks for your insights, but i'm a little confused. In previous posts i have seen people mention the 'bumping' of the hips tilts the axis. Does this mean that it is not the actual 'bumping' of the hips that should be concentrated on, rather the correct application of extensor action down plane. Which will then have the effect of sliding the hips and tilting the axis?

Cheers,

Danny

The hip motion is indeed what tilts the spine and its the pressure points which you should concentrate on. Extensor action is a non accelerating thrust which is always always on plane. As pp4 pressure then has to adhere to pp3 staying on the plane, it forces you to send that right shoulder downplane and tilt the spine and do the correct degree of hip slide.
