Assessing trunk rotation just got easier!


MUSCLE INHIBITION OR UNBALANCED DIAPHRAGM?
Lately, I've been experimenting with inhibitory patterns while repositioning the upper and lower diaphragm. I usually do all my experiments on myself before trying it on my own clients.
Here is the situation : I've been doing some clinical testing on how short tonic muscles of the pelvis influence the condition of my lower back. Even after a total myokinetic repositioning, I have noticed that I still have some serious inhibitory patterns to solve due to tight iliotibial bands and possibly the psoas major on the right side.
The next step would be use facilitated stretching on these culprits. Once the pelvis is balanced, I have noticed that my body still has a contralateral rotation on the upper body. In modern posturology, this would be an indication of a malocclusion of my jaw. Which I do have and wear a mouthpiece "new age performance" to remediate the situation. So my next step would be to use some postural restoration of the upper diaphragm to fix the issue. Then like magic, my trunk rotation is now perfect and my IT band and lower back seems to be back to normal.
So the question is ... Should I stretch the short tonic muscles of my pelvis first after the myokinetic restoration of the lower body ? Or do a full diaphragm repositioning of the upper and lower body followed by facilitated stretching.
I guess I'll find out has the clinical testing continues in the following weeks!
So stay tuned...
