Title :Not stretching/strengthening but inhibiting/Activating muscles.

Info :

Anterior scalenes of tos'er are very adaptive as we can see when fibers's hypertrophy reverse after tenotomy. Something may maintain tone.

Exercice 1 :

Sternal positional Swiss ball

Goal : Reposition the head over the shoulder girdles and inhibit the anterior neck muscle.
Five breaths, each twice daily.


Exercice 2 :

90/90 hip shift exercise

Goal : . The exercise activate left hamstring muscles which facilitate left hip extension (posterior pelvic tilt). Forced exhalation into the balloon should activate transversus thoracis (triangularis sterni), internal and external inter-costals, and abdominal oblique muscles which facilitate depression/internal rotation of the ribs and inhibition of paraspinal muscles (lumbar flexion).

Because the exercise puts the pelvis into a posterior pelvic tilt and the ribs into depression, the technique discourages the paraspinal and neck muscles from firing (inhibits) and assists with shortening hamstrings via hamstring muscle contraction.

twice daily with two sets of 15 repetitions.
