- patella (bony)
- rectus femoris/ quads (myofascial)
- AIIS (bony)
- Pubic bone (bony)
- rectus abdominus (myofascial)
- 5th rib (bony)
- sternalis (myofascial)
- sternal manubriam (bony)
- sternocleinomastoid (myo)
- mastoid process (bony)
- scalp (myo)

Q
What is the superficial back line?
A
- plantar surface of toe phalanges (bony station)

- sacrum (bony)
- erector spinae (myo)
- occipital ridge
- epicranial fascia
- frontal bone; supraorbital ridge

- fibular head
- anterior ligament of head of fibula
- lateral tibial condyle
- iliotibial tract, hip abductors
- tensor fascia latae
- gluteus maximus

A
5
Q
What is a sequence you could use to activate or open the superficial back line?
A
6
Q
How could you create a sequence to open or activate the lateral line?
A
7
Q
myofascia
A
muscles and fascia moving together biomechanically- long cooperative chains
8
Q
what is fascia made of
A
water and fibrous material
- collagen- strong (vikings) but not as flexible
- elastin- less strong but super flexible
- reticulin- acts more like collagen
9
Q
myofascial track
A
muscles and fascia
10
Q
bony station
A
where the myofascial tract is tacked to bone
