The Simple 3 Checklist
Abstract: The dispositions of 3 influential muscles, 2 at the hip and 1 at the neck, determine the effectiveness of exercise and presence of pain.
I get this all the time – a very perplexed friend or client says:
“I swim and do yoga religiously! Yet I’m hurting and feel like I’m falling apart! What gives?!”
Just as striking a musical note can sound sweet or painfully off key, exercise works best when it stimulates us smoothly.
Whatever exercise we are doing, the quality of the experience is determined by 3 checklist muscles setting our postural receptivity.
Inevitably, people miss the gains of training because of muscular imbalance in at least one of the Simple 3 Checklist:
A) The Piriformis/Gluteus MediusOK, these are two superimposed muscles - Connecting pelvis and hip concertedly, these butt muscles control the angles of our hips joining our core to the ground!
B) The Hip Flexors
These monstrous muscles make up the posterior wall of our core. The Hip Flexors emerge from our diaphragm, powerfully attach to all of our lumbar vertebra and discs, cross our pelvis, & insert into our inner thigh
C) The Scalenes
The Scalenes may be the most ornery muscles of them all! The scalenes are three sets of muscles running out of all 7 cervical vertebra and discs, grabbing on to our collar bone and first rib. The scalenes literally hold our head up, are very prone to trauma and have far-reaching pain referrals.
Therefore, don’t blame the exercise for hurting you – Always look to the Simple 3 Checklist for trouble.
