โYour muscles work in groups of twos or threesโ - a saying I use a lot when explaining things to clients. Your body is a big team with loads of smaller teams in it. Muscles work in small groups to keep everything operating and moving properly, however the downside of that is the โdomino effectโ - when one has an issue, high probability of the rest following suit.
We donโt always just focus on โwhere it hurtsโ we focus on the full chain thatโs being affected - to 1. Reduce the pain the client is in but 2. Restore optimal function of the full area to allow the โteamโ to work together as planned and prevent this reoccurring.
In this video, my client was struggling with tight traps, upper back pain & headaches. However, he didnโt realise how much his upper back and trap problem was causing his shoulders to shrug and rotate forward, giving a tightness in the pec and lats. The dining table laptop posture definitely didnโt help the case ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Always look after your full team ๐
