Functionally, the gluteus maximus is an important muscle primarily because of its pelvic posterior tilt concentric contraction function, and because of its isometric stabilization function to armor/protect the sacroiliac joint. Manual therapists should be mindful to especially assess the superior fibers lateral to the PSIS.
Stacked joints are aligned in a straight line; in other words, the joints are extended as in anatomic position. This allows for the force from your core to travel through your upper extremity and into the client with little or no loss of strength.
Maximal pressure for the effort used is achieved if the angle of your force into the client is perpendicular to the contour of the region being worked. To apply this concept of working perpendicularly, the client’s back and pelvis can be divided into separate regions based on the curve of each region.
For deep pressure massage to the neck, align your core with your stroke by laterally (externally) rotating your arm at the shoulder joint so that your elbow is positioned in front of your core. Now lock your elbow into your core just inside (and usually slight above) your anterior superior iliac spine.
A weighted vest is far more than just a leg training tool. It acts as a comprehensive, full-body resistance system that simultaneously challenges your core, posture, lower body, and cardiovascular health.
Think of your spine like a skyscraper. Your core is the foundation. Your posture muscles are the steel beams. Rehab is the maintenance crew making sure both stay solid.
