Dynamic functional stretching
Using force production of a muscle and body momentum to move the joint through the full range of motion
Davis law
Soft tissue models along the line of stress
Teres minor Are usually over active or under active
Under active
Mid/lower trapezoids are usually overactive or under active
Under active
Scalenes is usually over active or under active
Over active
Infraspinatus is usually over active or under active
Under active
Posterior tibialis is usually over active or under active
Under active
Upper trapezius is usually over active or under active
Over active
Vastus medialis oblique (VMO) Is usually over active or under active
Under active
Internal oblique is usually over active or under active
Under active
Corrective flexibility
SMR and static stretching
Cumulative injury cycle
Tissue trauma > inflammation > muscle spasms >Adhesions > altered neural muscular control > muscle imbalance
Latissimus dorsi is usually over active or under active
Over active
Adductors are usually over active or underacrive
Overactive
Static stretching
Passively taking a muscle to the point of tension and holding it for at least 30 seconds
Lavator scapule is usually over active or under active
Over active
Anterior tibialis is usually over active or under active
Under active
Hamstring complex is usually over active or under active
Over active
Autogenic inhibition
Neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that sense muscles to contract
Erector spine is usually overactive or under active
Overactive
Synergist dominance
Synergist muscle takes over for a weak prime mover
gluteus maximus/medius is usually overactive are under active
Under active
Relative flexibility
The tendency of the body to seek the path of least resistance during functional movement patterns
Over active muscles need to be
SMR’d for 20-40 seconds and static stretched for 20-40 seconds
