Hello, all! I decided it was time to make a new post. I attended a course recently in Indiana where Bill Hartman was the main speaker. Here is a quote from him, where he breaks down the basics of the course I attended:
"....body segments held out of alignment for extended periods will result
in adaptive shortening or lengthening and further result in postural
deterioration...
...malalignment will cause inefficient interaction of muscle strength,
joint proprioception in the foot and ankle, alignment, and postural
tone...
... if the individual uses compensatory shoulder elevation and neck
shortening for stability due to an inactive trunk, there will be
consequential inefficiencies in trunk rotation and increasing postural
misalignment...
...Failure to organize dynamic alignment and synergistic action of the
musculoskeletal system will result in compensatory learning...
...Normal musculoskeletal alignment provides for kinesiological
synergistic activation of muscle groups for stability in the core of the
body an sustained activation of the musculature of the limbs for
perform complex tasks...
So my question to all... if you don't know how to determine
position/alignment of your client, you can't restore neutral. If you're
not restoring neutral, then how effective do you think your training
program will be?"
