Movement Therapy and Correcting Causative Factors of Movement Dysfunction

June 20, 2018

Transcribed from video:

– We assess, we see that there is the problem with your movement, then there’s a falling in, the shoulders internally rotate and the elbows are dropping in the right position, the lumbar spine is hyper-extending with the bars overhead. We identify what is causing that issue here, then there’s a falling in, whatever pulls the knees in is doing too much, whatever should be pulling the knees out is not doing enough. Do you see how this now leads on from the mobility and the stability work we’ve just been doing? Because if your knees are falling in, what is tight?

– Abductors.

– Abductors, something that pulls the knees in yeah. Abductors, those medial rotators of the hip, they’re too tight. What is a good way to make them longer?

– Strengthening.

– Full circle, eh? What is weak, underactive, loose?

– Glutes, lats.

– Something that laterally rotates the hips, your glutes, your abductors yeah, they’re not doing enough and, that’s where the stability stuff comes in. Remember, we just talked about mobility and stability, the importance of both. So now all we need to do is identify each of these different areas of the body, work out what is causing that problem and then prescribe an exercise to fix it. Yep and then we’ve closed down both.
