When it comes to rounded shoulders, everyone always goes after the pectoral muscles being the primary culprit. In actuality, the muscle is usually the primary muscle that is driving the rounded shoulder position. If you want to change your rounded shoulders, do you have to get really good at lengthening your lot muscle and learning how to contract the lats in a lengthened position.

Here is step 1️⃣: mobilization of the lat towards the lengthen position. We use a dowel here to create reciprocal pattern of the contralateral upper extremity. We can also use this Technique for facilitation at end range, resisting at the dowel with our hand pressure.

When dealing with pregnant patient it’s all about repositioning the pelvis from an anterior rotation to a posterior rotation. This is necessary secondary to the anterior shift of their center of mass. Where ever your center of mass goes, your pelvis will follow. Here we mobilize the sciatic nerve, which is the most commonly compressed nerve during pregnancy because of the pelvis anterior orientation. This places lots of pressure on the L5-S1 joint inter-space.

After that we do some education of the pelvic anterior elevators. So we can insure the patient does not drive into their past anterior pelvic tilt as they ambulating.

Correcting Left Rib Flare with Tonic Stabilization and Rotation‼️
•
•
•
We talk about how left rib flare is caused by the left transverse abdominis and internal obliques not contracting at a low level for tonic stabilization. We demonstrate the asymmetry and explain that rotating to the right helps close the left ribs, using slow and low movements to improve alignment in standing and walking.

I love the for the purpose of deep soft tissue mobilization of the lower anterior abdominal region including a tight, restricted re**us abdominal, Psoas and illiacus. Im usually using it as the first step for someone with a pelvis stuck in anterior rotation. I like to follow this with a simple hamstring bridge iso-hold with a focus on pelvis orienting towards a posterior rotation.
