What is Percussion Stimulation? Percussion stimulation is a more active application of percussive therapy that uses a higher-speed massage gun to energize and prepare tissue for movement. Unlike inhibition, this technique is dynamic—used to stimulate underused or...
Unlocking the Power of Your Body’s Engine: The Oxidative Energy System and Why It Matters When we think about improving our health, we often focus on things like diet, sleep, or resistance training. But there’s a lesser-known powerhouse system in...
Functional movement requires precise control of the shoulders, hips, and limbs. This control is vital for performing daily tasks and complex activities without injury. Key Concepts: Protraction and Retraction: The forward (protraction) and backward (retraction)...
The swing phase occurs when the limb is off the ground and moving to prepare for the next step. This phase emphasizes non-loadbearing mechanics, requiring coordination, flexibility, and muscle strength to execute efficiently. Key Components of Swing Phase: Momentum:...
The stance phase is the foundation of functional movement. It is the part of a movement cycle where your body supports weight, and it involves crucial mechanics for balance, alignment, and strength. During this phase, proper loadbearing mechanics ensure that forces...
Inside-out biomechanics focuses on the idea that movement begins with the core and radiates outward. This concept, central to Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), emphasizes the importance of core stability and proper breathing mechanics for efficient movement....
