"Get hold of a copy of "Stability, Sport and Performance Movement" by Joanne Elphinston. Brilliantly accessible book on a complex subject. Daily I see people who can often demonstrate superior core strength in static positions but lose it totally once they get on a bike and start applying force to the pedals. There are many potential reasons and combinations of reasons why this is so and this book, used properly, should give you some or all of the tools you need to diagnose and resolve your issue."

"The book could have been far more complex in its approach, and the fitness therapist or sports coach could have been mislead into thinking the book (from the title) is going to be dry and complicated in its methodology. Nothing could be further from fact. From start to finish everything is explained in an easy to understand technique."
