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...
