Squat Technique: Why It Matters
Body position significantly alters muscle activation during a squat by shifting the load distribution and changing joint angles, which in turn affects which muscles are more dominant. In a more upright squat (such as a front squat), the quadriceps are more heavily engaged due to the increased knee flexion. Conversely, a squat with a more forward-leaning torso (like a low-bar back squat) increases the demand on the hip extensors, primarily the gluteus maximus and hamstrings, as they help control the movement through the hip joint. The depth of the squat also influences muscle activation; for example, deeper squats engage the glutes and adductors to a greater extent, whereas partial squats emphasize the quadriceps. Additionally, variations in foot stance (wide vs. narrow) can influence the contribution of the adductors and glutes. Proper form is essential for distributing load appropriately across muscle groups and avoiding compensation patterns that can lead to injury.

Set a specific trigger or cue that reminds you to do the habit, such as brushing your teeth before bed. Consistency is key-aim to practice the habit daily around the same time. Use positive reinforcement, like re...
Sciatic Nerve Anatomy
Переглядів 279Місяць тому
The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest nerve in the human body, extending from the lower back down to the feet. Originating from the lumbar and sacral spinal nerves (L4-S3), it exits the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen, travels beneath the gluteus maximus, and runs down the back of the thigh. The nerve then splits into the tibial and common peroneal (fibular) nerves near the kn...

Treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Переглядів 148Місяць тому
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is often viewed as a localized issue at the wrist, but effective treatment involves considering the entire median nerve pathway from the neck to the hand. In this video, we explore a comprehensive approach to managing CTS by addressing potential compression points and dysfunctions along the entire median nerve chain. We’ll cover exercises and techniques targeting ar...
