(38934,0,'2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Previously I have written, and raved about, the book; ‘<i>Body by Science’</i> by Doug McGuff and John Little, for its volume of research and the logical approach to the point they were making.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">More recently I have read another book, and been reminded of, a point they make about health and fitness being quite different goals. </span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">‘<i>Intervention’</i> by Dan John is a no brainer investment for any strength training fan by the way. In this book the clarity of his logic is based on 3 decades of experience as an S&amp;C coach and he is completely honest about his failings, which also enhance his coaching. This is something I a familiar with, as I am sure you are..</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When you get it wrong, you learn!</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">John explains, with great reasoning, the differences between health and fitness and that many clients do not realise which of these is their goal. This then interferes with the PT’s programming since the client asks for what they THINK their goal is.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">John’s view is that <i>health</i> is the homeostasis of an organism and <i>fitness</i> is simply the ability to perform a task.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">McGuff’s definitions;</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>HEALTH</i></b><i>: Is a physiological state in which there is an absence of disease or pathology and that maintains the necessary biological balance between the catabolic and anabolic states.</i></span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>FITNESS</i></b><i>: The bodily state of being physiologically capable of handling challenges that exist above the resting threshold.</i></span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So the common theme is not only that they are not the same thing but also that it is important to understand how they can, and often do, impact upon each other and negatively.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Problem</b></span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Example one;</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Training for a marathon, for example, demands hour and hours of repetitious high impact on hard surfaces for long periods of time. Not necessarily the best thing for our joints right? Yet many people really enjoy that challenge and feel great for achieving the distance/time they set out to do. So their <i>‘fitness</i>’ goal outweighed the <i>health</i> implication of wear and tear on their joints.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Example two;</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Preparing for a weight lifting competition requires heavy lifting loading joints beyond what the may have done previously. Again this would stress joints and yet could bring me personally so much joy should I ever get to the desired weight I wish to snatch over my head. Therefore the training goal is ‘<i>fit’ </i>for the task rather than safest for my joints.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Example three;</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Weight loss means eating less calories than the body is used to and so for many this could be a ‘<i>health’</i> related goal to reduce sugar intake for example. However if they also started running to increase calorie expenditure this could start to tip their journey into a <i>‘fitness’</i> goal should they decide to enter a race. Then we need to consider this implications of requiring MORE food again due to this higher calorie expenditure.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Finding a balance of homeostasis, while maintain optimal health is really NOT that easy when you think about it since..</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The body is a MASTER OF COMPENSATION. </span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Once it has adapted something will change for either the better or worse. How you gauge better or worse is an interesting thought when you consider the goal. </span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>“I completed my first marathon…..but my knees are shot”</i></span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>“I lost 2 stone …..but I feel shattered ALL the time”</i></span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Also simply being <i>‘healthy’</i> may not have the excitement of a race or competition and so there is possibly less of a sense of ‘achievement’ as how do you measure it? I may have one example for you later…</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now I am not suggesting it is impossible but as PT’s and fitness professionals it is essential that we have the skills to help or clients realistically and with their goal in mind. Part of that maybe keeping them on track and educating them on the implications of changing their goal as they progress, which is highly likely in many cases.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We should have the skills to best prepare our clients for movement, be able to suggest general advise on eating well, ensure our clients exercise efficiently, wisely and safely to obtain success in reaching their desired goal.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Could we go as far as to say exercise is bad for you?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Well that depends on the alternative!? </span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sedentary is not good</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ultimately movement is good </span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As is consuming the right food</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I think you understand where I am coming from, right?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>So What Do We Do?</b></span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let’s clarify the true desire of the client, without making assumptions, right up front by asking questions that will give more clarity on what their start and end points REALLY are. </span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Educate the client on risks or possible outcomes and the difference so they recognise the importance of moderation and appropriate adaption.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mots importantly, and one of the things Dan John also discusses over and over again is, the importance of assessment - REGULARLY! Every 2-6 weeks at least. “<i>If you ain’t assessing you’re guessing”</i> John states.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what kind of assessment/s do you do now?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">ParQ?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Weight/Height?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Waist/Height?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sit &amp; Reach?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Body Fat?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1 rep max?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">VO2 max test?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lifestyle Q&amp;A?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Food diary?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">FMS?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Video analysis?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Biomechanics assessment?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How valid do you feel each of these test are in relation to your clients start point and end goal?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Do you feel you are adequately equipped to assess your clients start point?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Then can you regularly and easily re-assess AND monitor their progress objectively?</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Assessment and re-assessment is vital in demonstrating both progression and regression to allow you/the client to adapt what is being done whether it be diet, preparation for movement, exercise, number of hrs sleep, routine, recovery, lifestyle factors and so on.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Without a clear training goal, which is likely to be either <i>health OR fitness</i> predominantly, and without the ability to assess and monitor we lose specificity in our planning.

(38935,0,'2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','Was asked a question recently “Do we need to massage the ITB?\"\n\nIt\'s a common thing to see gym members rolling the outside of their thighs on a foam roller wincing in pain\n\nAs a sports massage therapist this raises for me a similar question along with others\n\n&nbsp;\n\nWhy?\n\n&nbsp;\n\nDo they know what they are doing? Or have they ever seen a qualified sports massage therapist? Is something so painful the right thing to do?\n\nIs there really any benefit to doing this? Is there a better, less painful or safer option?\n\nNow in my experience controversial topics are usually very reasonable ideas taken out of context so I did bit of my own research around this area and would like to offer some thoughts from my findings. However I always encourage you, the reader, to do a bit of your own research and feel free to come back and offer your thoughts so we can all learn from each other.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nSo firstly lets look at the anatomy of the ITB or iliotibial band;\n\nThe iliotibial band (ITB) or tract is a lateral thickening of the fascia lata in the thigh. Proximally it splits into superficial and deep layers, enclosing tensor fasciae latae and anchoring this muscle to the iliac crest. It also receives most of the tendon of gluteus maximus. (Standring, 2004 Grays Anatomy; the Anatomical Basis of Clinical Practice)\n\nDue to the angles of pull and its attachment sites it is a knee stabiliser in both extension and partial flexion of the knee joint. This means it is in constant use during gait, walking and running. It is in fact one of the main supports of the knee against gravity\n\nSo this raises a clear point for me, if the ITB is a knee stabiliser and its role is as the main support on the knee against gravity then surely it requires a good amount of tension running through it to do that. We also know that the whole point of manual therapy, massage, foam rolling, trigger pointing etc is to create blood flow by releasing tension.\n\nThis therefore might tell us that actually for a fit and healthy individual foam rolling the ITB is not good news as it may well reduce that tension and create problems of stability around the knee joint.\n\nOk so I know what you are thinking, most people do it because they have knee pain or ITB syndrome or they ‘feel tension’. Well this is different again because we should consider WHY they have these issues before assuming any are in relation to the ITB. Well let me share with you a couple of quotes from Karel Lewit a world renowned manual therapist way ahead of his time and unafraid to challenge current thinking and also open to change from his own original views:\n\n“He who treats the site of pain is lost”, “Where do you have pain? On my MRI” Karel Lewit <a href=\"http://www.rehabps.com/DATA/Karel_Lewit.pdf\">http://www.rehabps.com/DATA/Karel_Lewit.pdf</a>\n\n&nbsp;\n\nSo back to the question: “Do we need to massage the ITB?”\n\nPoint one: Not everyone and particularly if you are fit and healthy.\n\nWhat about those who are diagnosed wit ITB syndrome?\n\n&nbsp;\n\nWhat is ITB syndrome?\n\nit is commonly known as inflammation of a bursa from overuse during running, cycling etc. However there are recent studies showing it could be more related to deep fat to the ITB. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2100245/\n\nOk well what would we do about ITB syndrome then considering both suggested causes once again I would ask WHY? Since not all runners or cyclists suffer ITB syndrome. So my train of thought is well if the ITB inserts into the TFL &amp; Glutes should that be somewhere to consider assessing? Sure thing! I certainly know some screens that involve understanding if this muscles are dysfunctional. In fact due the body being an Integrated System I would suggest that is probably a good places to start combined with the research that states 60% of dysfunction does for the pelvis.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nWe might also consider that if this tension in the TFL, Glutes is present then maybe that would be a less painful more sensible places to massage, foam roll etc.\n\nTo my mind the biggest problem that might occur from gym members foam rolling their ITB is they are not a sports massage therapists and therefore may no be aware of the anatomical structures they are pressing on, what pressure is appropriate, the risks and contraindications. Sports Massage Therapists are skilled at being able to modify for that individual, for that particular day and how the client feels and presents from the biomechanical assessment they should be making prior to the treatment.\n\nMassage should NEVER be painful but let me define pain.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n0/10 = No pain\n\n10/10 = Excruciating like having the arms ripped out of the sockets.\n\n0/10-7/10 = Discomfort which the client is able to tolerate.\n\n8/10-10/10 = Inappropriate level of pain which is likely to increase tension thought the clients body.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nThis model is in my opinion - happy to hear other professionals ideas on this.\n\nYou might have someone argue they feel better after doing foam rolling on the ITB.\n\nPoint one - The Integrated System = what you feel may not relate to the area you feel it (see Karel Lewit quote above)\n\nPoint two - By influencing one area of the body you may well have released another i.e. You released TFL, Glutes rather than the ITB itself- so which would be the sensible option? Foam Roll the painful fascial bit that is supposed to be tensioned or try the muscles higher up that can be better controlled for discomfort during rolling?\n\n&nbsp;\n\nSummary\n\nIf we are totally honest nobody really knows what is happening inside our bodies during these methods, even with evidence and research some projects contradict others and so it is always case by case.\n\nFOAM ROLLERS DO NOT REPLACE HUMAN HANDS!!\n\n&nbsp;\n\nWith this in mind I would suggest the most sensible would be to visit a recommended, qualified manual therapist over and above any form of foam rolling as by far a much safer, hopefully less painful and much more logical option. Ask them lots of questions about self management and then do what they advise rather than ignore it.\n\nIf part of what they suggest is to self massage in some form then it should be clear what you do and how you do it, if not ASK!\n\nIf you are not happy then see someone different but research their background and ask to look at certificates and insurance papers. We gain them for a reason and no client has ever asked to see mine.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nHappy to discuss …\n\nTell us what you think?','Do We Need To Massage The ITB?','','inherit','closed','closed','','575-revision-v1','','','2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','',575,'https://biomechanicseducation.com/?p=38935',0,'revision','',0),

So much so that when a client presented with a faulty movement pattern I questioned what I could do to help them or, ideally, what the client could do to help themselves.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I looked at repeating my PT course, but then remembered the iMoveFreely® Instructor workshop I did with Rachel many years earlier, and an amazing exercise called the 4 sign.  So I got in touch and after a couple of conversations, I decided to book on and go for the course due to its content.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">My main area of teaching is Pilates with Biomechanics and 1-2-1. (though I do still like to dabble in the cardio/combat). Following the Biomechanics Coach™ Diploma I have completely changed how I teach and I can’t believe the massive difference the course has made to all aspects of my teaching. I have managed to form a good bond with some local osteopaths and Chiropractors, some of whom attend my classes and all refer clients my way. </span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">I believe Pilates/biomechanics/ corrective exercise is my pathway going forward, so I have also completed the L4 Sports Massage course with Mike Grice, Director of Active Skills/ Birmingham Movement Therapy Clinic is also a Master Trainer and Biomechanics Coach™</span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If you are thinking about enrolling on the Biomechanics Coach™ Diploma, then do not hesitate! </span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Yes you will be taken outside of your comfort zone!</span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Yes you will question what you have learned before!</span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">There is definitely no spoon feeding here!</span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Just fab content and a chance for self-development.</span></p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Achieving the both Biomechanics Coach™ Diploma and the Sports Massage while working and juggling a family, has been slightly challenging at times, but a big personal achievement for me.

(38939,0,'2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','<strong>BEN COOMBER of Body Type Nutrition, is someone who\'s work I admire, respect and enjoy! </strong>\n\n<strong>Having met and chatted on a number of occasions we are super excited to be working more closely throughout 2016 to bring YOU even more fabulous information and insights.</strong>\n\n<strong>\nTo broaden the Juicemail contributors and sources even further can only be a good thing right!?</strong>\n\n<strong>So in this article Ben talks to you about strength training....</strong>\n\nThere are two different types of people in the weight room (well, there are loads, but you know what I mean). There are those who are there to make improvements and there are those who are there to show off. One big distinction between these two groups is that one of them will tend to use more weight for everything than the other.\n\nNow, I’m not going to turn this into ANOTHER article about why you shouldn’t use bad form and just shift weight from A to B in any way possible. That’s boring, old information and you won’t take anything from it – everyone now knows that half-repping and using momentum to do things isn’t going to make you stronger. What I’m going to do here is take a different angle and tell you that people who make progress over time train hard – really hard – but they don’t always lift as much weight as possible for a given rep range.\n\nIf we were to take an average lifter (most of you) then we are able to roughly predict the amount of reps they are capable of performing with a given percentage of their 1 rep max. It generally goes something like the image above.\n\nThe problem with this information, however, is that it only really takes an acute session into account. Sure, you should be able to perform 4 sets of 8 using 77% of your max – it’s well within your strength ability – but then what?\n\nTotal volume, frequency of training and intensity (load on the bar) are all inter-linked factors which must be considered when creating a program for someone. What this means is that we need to make sure they are training hard enough and often enough with an appropriate amount of total volume (sets x reps x weight over the course of a week or other microcycle) to create a growth response.\n\nWe know that a load of around 65%-85% is the most effective range to work in for improving strength and size, and we also know that 2-3 sessions per week is probably as close to optimal as possible for the majority, so that leaves total within-session volume as the variable that we want to play with the most.\n\nVolume, however, is a tricky thing to maintain when intensity gets too high. If we were to perform the aforementioned 4 sets of 8 with 77% of our max it should theoretically be do-able, but the chances are that – because of total CNS and PNS fatigue - it will take a really long time to do and an even longer time to recover from. Taking multiple sets that close to failure can impact the rest of the session and even the rest of the week depending on your own personal ability to recover from lifting heavy, and that means that your performance in the rest of your training can suffer. Poor performance in other sessions will obviously hinder your ultimate results.\n\nNot only that, but beyond training volume, intensity and frequency there is one other overarching factor which we must consider in order to get stronger and bigger – progressive overload.\n\nTrain with the perfect intensity, drive up training frequency to a point where you are training as often as possible while still recovering optimally and increase sets and reps as much as you like, eventually you need to add some weight to the bar or you’re not going to get anywhere. Go too heavy and overload is going to be all but impossible.\n\nSo, lets take our 4x8@77% example above and put some real numbers in, to give you an idea of what I’m talking about.\n\nAssuming your max is 100kg for sake of ease, 4 sets of 8 at 77.5% gives you (4 x 8 x 77.5kg) 2,480kg of volume. Great. Now let’s say you complete that and want to add some weight to the bar, so we move up to the next available increment, 80kg.\n\nNot only have we moved up in weight, we have now moved up to 80% of your max, which means that we are now only able to perform 7 reps if we go to our maximum potential on each set, which would of course be all but impossible. You can’t go to absolute failure and expect performance not to dip – so let’s go to 4 sets of 6 with 80% - should be manageable, just.\n\nThat’s all well and good, but now we are only getting (4 x 6 x 80kg) 1920kg of volume, which is way less. We haven’t gotten anywhere but it’s not likely that we’re going to be able to do another set, and we certainly can’t do more reps or go heavier. We have nowhere to go and have therefore stalled.\n\nYou see it all the time in gyms. Guys will make initial progress and then stall out. They will get to a certain weight on a certain exercise and, despite evidently training REALLY hard, never actually manage to add more weight to it. It’s not uncommon to see someone busting their ass for YEARS and not actually adding weight to the bar and therefore, not actually getting any stronger.\n\nIt’s time to leave the ego at the door.\n\nSure, you may be ABLE to start off a program doing 4 sets of 8 at 77%, or any other similar rep range and intensity, but this will be exhausting as well as very, very difficult to improve upon. When looking at all successful training protocols (Smolov, Sheiko, Cube method etc) you will see that the average intensity will be somewhere around 70-73% but the rep ranges will usually leave you with 2-3 ‘in the tank’. What happens here is that the trainee is able to use a higher bar speed (thus producing more force per rep), is able to keep form perfect owing to the greater degree of control that <strong>not</strong> grinding out ugly near-to-failure reps offers you, and are, most importantly, given the opportunity to build up a progressively higher amount of total volume over time and thusly make IMPROVEMENTS.\n\nSure, you’re not going to failure and yes, this is comparatively ‘easy’ in a lot of ways to the typical ‘GO AS HARD AS POSSIBLE OR GO HOME’ advice thrown around on the internet or in magazines by guys and girls who have certain ‘advantages’ which means that they get better in spite of, rather than because of, what they do. It’s a little less taxing, but much more effective.\n\nTraining is about going into a session with the intention of doing what is necessary to improve, not with the intention of burying yourself. This means that we need to think about the variables we can control and the means by which we can alter them in our favour. Training is NOT about lifting as much as you can for as many reps as you can, it’s about planned progression.\n\nTrain smart, don’t just train hard, and you’ll go a lot further.\n\nDid you enjoy this article from Ben?\nWould you like to hear from him again in the Juicemail?\nWhat questions do you have for him?\nEmail me your questions: <a href=\"mailto:rachel@biomechanicseducation.com\">rachel@biomechanicseducation.com</a>','Building & Displaying Strength – There’s A Difference!','','inherit','closed','closed','','286-revision-v1','','','2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','',286,'https://biomechanicseducation.com/?p=38939',0,'revision','',0),

(38941,0,'2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','Recently I have been amongst young fit people who have sustained both mild and more serious injuries (in the past) requiring surgery from problems that are the type of problems that occur from nerve tension.\n\nCalf and hamstring injuries are both commonly caused by a tight sciatic nerve for example.  The muscles provide a protective spasm to the nerve during movement and if stretched or loaded sufficiently the muscles can spasm enough to cause themselves to tear, or cramp up - which can FEEL like a tear.  By mobilising the nerve it releases the tension in the muscles and reduces the likelihood of this happening.\n\nThe same principle applies to ALL nerves.  In the golf swing, if the median nerve is tight it will reduce the amount the player can complete his back swing and adopt the best position at the top of his swing.  This would be due to the muscle spasm that builds up to try and protect the inflexible nerve.  The greater the muscle spasm (which is unbeknown to the player as its SUB clinical at this point) the more he\'ll try and force his shoulder turn, which in turn increases the tension etc etc.  The key to a sound and reproducible swing is to reduce any tension in the swing, so as to help with timing and rhythm.  So by mobilising the median nerve, we are helping with ALL of the above.\n\nTight calves can cause over pronation.  The dorsi-flexion (moving the ankle upwards) is not available from the ankle joint due to the tightness in the calves, so it has to come from the sub talar joint.  It comes as part of the pronation mechanism though and so increases the amount of pronation as well.  This causes shin related injuries as well as knee and Achilles problems.  Remember that tight calves is often from a tight sciatic nerve, so by mobilising the nerve, we can help with all these injuries as well.\n\nA rotated pelvis can also go unnoticed for many years until the compensations start to cause problems.  Typically a leg length discrepancy (LLD) can result from a rotated pelvis and the leg must compensate for this.  It\'ll either flatten the foot (pronate it), bend the knee more, or drop the hip more.  Pronation will increase the load on the leg (see \'Tight Calves\' paragraph), bending the knee will increase pronation (see \'Tight Calves\' paragraph), and dropping the hip will increase the spasm in the glutes/piriformis.  A vicious circle if ever their was one!  So by reducing the spasm in the piriformis, in other words preventatively, (and also if necessary), then we are helping to reduce all of the above.\n\n<strong>Interesting fact;</strong>\n\nWe tested quad strength output on a pro rugby player before and after mobilising his sciatic nerve. After 2 x 15 reps his quad strength output increased by 14%. After 10 days of nerve mobilisations it increased by 50%!!\n\nDo YOU have clients that might have any of the above mentioned dysfunctions?\n\nWould YOU like to learn how to screen and mobilise the nerves?\n\nWould you like to understand special techniques to release piriformis muscle spasm?\n\nWould YOU like to learn how to reduce injury risk while increase performance levels in your clients/athletes?\n\nEmail now <a href=\"mailto:Rachel@biomechanicseducation.com\">Rachel@biomechanicseducation.com</a>','Nerve Tension?','','inherit','closed','closed','','293-revision-v1','','','2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','',293,'https://biomechanicseducation.com/?p=38941',0,'revision','',0),
(38942,0,'2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','In sports and fitness training a common injury is adductor strains.  They are often caused by poor spinal and pelvic biomechanics and a Biomechanics Coach™ or therapist trained in biomechanical screening would be able to find the causes of such injuries. Fitness instructor, Personal trainer and sports science qualifications are much stronger and more valuable if they have a dual Biomechanics Coaching™ qualification.\n\nThe adductors comprise of five muscles in the groin, stretching between the pelvis and the inside of the thigh bone (femur), and adductor longus is the most commonly injured of this muscle set. Its main function is to pull the legs together (adduction) and it is used extensively when playing football or rugby, sprinting, hurdling and horse-riding.\n\nAn important factor not to overlook is the risk of an adductor strain being confused with a sportsman’s hernia as it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between the two, so if there is any doubt, do get it checked by a qualified and experienced therapist or doctor.\n\nMost people usually feel pain in the groin at the top of the adductor muscle, which can radiate down the leg; there can also be swelling and bruising in the area. It usually hurts when they try and pull their legs together against a resistance and can hurt if stretching the leg out to the side. Also, if they were to try and run, it would be very painful in the groin and adductor area.\n\nMuscle tears are graded according to severity. Grade 1 is a mild tear, which presents itself as mild discomfort and a little tenderness. Grade 2 is a partial tear with more discomfort and there is often swelling, usually painful to the touch, which results in limited range of movement. Grade 3 is a severe tear or complete rupture of a muscle and is normally very painful, with swelling and an inability to walk or run. A full tear or complete rupture can be very debilitating and a small lump or gap can usually be felt in the muscle, at that point.\n\nInjuries are commonly caused by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Common extrinsic factors for adductor longus injuries include activities that require high speed acceleration and deceleration, such as sprinting, rapid changes of direction or sports where kicking and jumping are required. It can also be caused in football, when players stretch beyond their physical capabilities to retrieve a ball or perform a tackle.\n\nThis injury is much more likely to occur if there are intrinsic causes too. If your clients have a stiff lower back, tight nerves in your hips and legs, stiff hip joints or weakened adductors due to a twisted pelvis, which they may not even realise they have, the risk of tears is much higher. You may be able to get away with either an intrinsic or an extrinsic cause, but a combination of both represents a high risk factor.\n\nThe principles of Rest, Ice Compression and Elevation (R.I.C.E) will help with the acute symptoms. A compressive thigh sleeve can help reduce the swelling and, indeed, minimise it if they apply the support soon enough. Once the acute pain has started to subside, a gentle stretching regimen can help healing and restore the muscle’s range of movement. Also, if they see an experienced and qualified sports masseur they should find this helpful for regaining function in the muscle. Once the pain has diminished, any swelling has gone and they have regained almost full range of movement, you can start to strengthen the muscle. Try exercising with a resistance band to start working the adductor muscle again.\n\n<strong>How to prevent it</strong>\n\nTo try preventing this injury, you have to consider both extrinsic and intrinsic causes.  Look at the sport they perform and see if it demands any of the actions described above that cause the injury. If so, gradually increase the amount of work they perform in the gym to get their hips, pelvis and spine in good physical condition, and with sufficient flexibility in the nerves and muscles. Also, build up the amount of acceleration and deceleration work they do, although make sure not to rush into a new phase of training too quickly, giving their body time to adapt.\n\nMartin Haines\nBiomechanics Coach™\nChartered Physiotherapist\n\nDo You Want To Become a Biomechanics Coach™?','Adductor Strain','','inherit','closed','closed','','267-revision-v1','','','2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','',267,'https://biomechanicseducation.com/?p=38942',0,'revision','',0),
(38943,0,'2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','Day 1 Movement Compensation Screen\n\nSo I found myself back at Brunel University just a couple of weeks after passing my BWL L1 Coach qualification. This time I was there for a 4 day S&amp;C course with Elite Performance Institute.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nHaving been warmly greeted by both ..\n\nShane Cahill - From a professional rugby back ground and had booked me onto the course.\n\nand\n\nKarl Gilligan - Had been involved with IRFU, Leinster Rugby and has worked with elite athletes and players was our course tutor.\n\n.. I went into the classroom to find a mass of testosterone - 21 guys, myself and my new girl buddy, Emma.\n\nHey I am NOT complaining!!\n\nKarl took us through the back ground of his company and his experience.\n\nWith all these people I wondered how diluted the information might get to be honest but Shane and Ross we also available to answer questions as we went into the athletics centre.\n\nWe observed Karl’s methodology of body fat screening then one by one we all had a go at the vertical jump test. This was when the competitive nature of people started to come out but it was friendly and fun.\n\nI scored a measly 26.3 but was not the lowest\n\nNext he demonstrated functional movement screens and movement compensation screens one by one which we then practiced using a score sheet. This was the section I was concerned about to be honest.\n\nHowever Karl mentioned research where appropriate and was open about subjectivity too which was refreshing and a comfort about his integrity.\n\nFor an S&amp;C coach working with teams or larger groups of people I feel this is great way to identify those at high risk or with limitations. As a Biomechanics Coach™ I would then want to assess those at higher risk to have more objectivity in WHY they failed those tests.\n\nWe scored each other and practiced then started looking at range of movement tests that Karl correlated to the movement screens. Thus giving the group an insight into one method of assessing a group of athletes for risk of injury and reduced performance.\n\nObviously with my experience I have a method of screening clients that differs but I can see these methods working in different settings like this.\n\nFor example I cannot perform 27 screens on a football team of 25 players in the space of less than 3hrs, which might be the MOST time I have with them in a session.\n\nBUT\n\nWith both of these skill sets available to me I can\n\na). Assess a large group initially to identify the big risk guys\n\nb). Refer these high risk guys for the fuller screen\n\nc). Utilise different methodologies for the different circumstances or for a fuller understanding of limitations.\n\nFinally he took us through the ‘corrective’ exercise section which had some similarity to certain sections of iMoveFreely® type exercises. But again iMoveFreely® is a more specific system that is more in depth because we deliver it one to one therefore have more time.\n\nConsidered doing a gym session at the end of the day but was aware we had speed and agility training tomorrow so decided against it.\n\nSo at the end of day 1;\n\nThe REALLY cool part was all of the people around me are all a ‘type’ of person. We all;\n\nEnjoy training\n\nEnjoy learning\n\nHave a certain level of confidence\n\nAre happy to interact and share\n\nAre supportive\n\nAre motivational\n\nInspired each other\n\nIt reminds me what it might be like for MY learners and so feels a great to be able to empathise.\n\nHowever it also reminded me how bad my school education was, or at least that the timing was not right for me, because it was no where near as much fun as this!\n\nSo ready for tomorrows speed and agility training!!\n\nBetter eat and rest …….\n\nDay 2 Linear Speed &amp; Agility\n\nOk so by mid morning I was REALLY glad I hadn’t done a gym session last night.\n\nThe gang arrived and settled for a lecture on acceleration biomechanics. Looking at sprinters start position, tibia angles and back angles, arm drive, the height of foot.\n\nThis was really interesting for me as a specialist in intrinsic biomechanics considering what I would do with nerve tension to improve speed.\n\nWould LOVE to do some sessions with sprinters and utilise timer gates and nerve mobilisations on random sessions to see how this influenced the athletes speed.\n\nWe were all asked to get into groups and for one of us to deliver a warm up specific to some linear speed training. So I worked with my new buddies Nathan, Cameron and Gift.\n\nNext up was;\n\nMike McGurn (world class S&amp;C coach for 15yrs, also consulted with Man Utd)\n\nWOW!\n\nThis guys was an amazing coach.\n\nHe took us through a fantastic R.A.M.P warm up - you have to do the course to find out what that looks like but I LOVED moving, raising my heart rate and feeling those endorphins at last!\n\nSoon we were filming each others speed mechanics drills, agility training, sled pulling and viper band work, all stuff I have NEVER EVER done\n\nI don’t think I have a single fast twitch fibre in my body!\n\nBut it did begin to feel better and everyone LOOKED better by the end of the session.\n\nLunch time was a welcome break from what we had done for most of the morning. I found myself sharing a lunch table with;\n\nDavy McGregor from Era-Fit who had also played rugby for London Irish.\n\nHe had donated all of the equipment we had been using.\n\nWas tough being surrounded by all of these rugby players ! ;)\n\nThe afternoon was all about multi directional speed work.\n\nPeople started dropping out during the afternoon due to fatigue. My concern was my missing ACL but I kept having ago at the less ‘twisty’ one.\n\nBy 5pm there were just 8 of the 23 taking part in the super physical games.\n\nLOVED it though!\n\nThe designing of games to play for sports conditioning was so much fun\n\nThose of you who saw the video of me on the trampoline somersaulting into a sponge pool know what a big kid I am!\n\nAs a group we were attentive, cheering, encouraging and generally buzzing all day. It felt a bit like an adults sports day!\n\nOh boy I was ready for food and bed!!\n\nDay 3 Clean &amp; Jerk\n\nSo I woke feeling ok consider what we were put through yesterday. I was just a tiny little bit tender but nothing debilitating.\n\nI was super excited about today as it was clean and jerk day with technical application and starting to look at skills work.\n\nGoing through the break down of the clean positions was extremely helpful yet again - I am learning you cannot go over this TOO much because there is always something to work on.\n\nLecture first, then practical and in my little group (4 guys Johnny, James, Lawrence, John and me) we discussed the technicality of the skills we were practicing, observed each other and coached each other into positions. We were a really mixed group of levels from completely novice, with no mobility and wearing trainers to qualified weight lifting coaches in lifting shoes, getting full range A2G and yet we were all critiqued positively and were super helpful to each other with no egos and ALOT of fun and banter.\n\nLunchtime was upon us surprisingly quickly but we all needed FOOD.\n\nBack to a short lecture and more practical work all afternoon.\n\nWhat a great day that was over far too quickly!\n\nWe just\n\nlifted\n\ncoached\n\nlifted\n\ncoached\n\nlifted\n\ncoached\n\nthe clean and jerk\n\nSUDDENELY it was 5pm BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!\n\nGuess…..?\n\nYUP Food and bed!\n\nDay 4 Plyometrics, Energy Systems and Periodisation\n\nThe gang piled in walking slowly with various limp patterns due to the DOMS they were suffering. Mine wasn\'t too bad but I hadn\'t got the testosterone pouring round my body making me compete with everyone else like some of these guys - you know who you are (Boris &amp; Tom) !\n\nThe first lecture was all about identifying energy systems and how they contribute to our needs analysis. We looked at programming for strength and speed etc using this information and how to consider programming for adaption.\n\nAfter lunch we had our antioxidants measured by a company with a BioPhotonic Scanner just as a little bonus. This was fascinatingly presented by a physio who explained it tests you to a cellular level of roughly the last 6 weeks and how many carotenoids you have. The usual blood test would be influenced by you last meal which is why they are not as accurate and require you to be fasted.\n\nSo this scanner is basically telling you your risk is of disease and whether you need to consume better food and eat more fruit and veggies for example.\n\nNow while this is only a baseline scanner measuring you to the nearest thousand carotenoids it does identify if you, your clients or athletes are below what the expected level of carotenoids should be and therefore at risk of;\n\nHeart disease\n\nDegenerative disease\n\nReduced performance\n\nInjury\n\nand so on…\n\nApparently you can hire this machine for a month to test all of your clients <a href=\"http://www.whybioscan.com\"target=\"_blank\">www.whybioscan.com</a>\n\nAnyway this is how we SHOULD measure\n\nAverage person 40,000\n\nElite level 50,000\n\nBUT\n\nWhen they tested over 18 million people (think it was more than that actually) they found most of the population are around 28,000!!\n\nOne guy on the course was only 17,000!!\n\nAs we each got tested it was funny how we all started to make excuses about our diets recently, me included! Having had xmas in the last 6 weeks AND surviving on hotel and pub food for the last 4 days I didn’t hold out much hope for my result.\n\nI stepped up placed the other edge of my palm on the little light and rested the flat of my palm around the scanner. The dial started to climb……\n\nMy score?\n\n80,000 carotenoids!\n\nC’MON - Happy with that - being a massive fan of raw veggie and having a sushi addiction clearly help my carotenoids!\n\nNext we were back on the track doing plyometrics - tucks, high jumps, long jumps, long jumps throwing a medicine ball, hurdles and then with all this information we were writing programmes for golfers, periodising considerations over 12 months using a linear model.\n\nFascinating but I was simply so shattered my brain started to shut down during the last lecture. My attention span is so short anyway and after such a mass of information going in over the last 4 days I had to be lead by the guys in my group (Thanks you Gift, Lee, Tom &amp; Joe) when it come to the final tasks.\n\nThen we were done!\n\nWe had a group photo, collected our certificates and hugged each other goodbye having bonded so much over the 4 days of learning, moving, being challenged, discussing, coaching, helping, supporting and having fun together. We are of course now all Facebook buddies!\n\nOverall this was a fantastic experience, a lot of information over a short space of time and delivered by an extremely experienced and knowledgable professional who answered every single question really well.\n\nThanks also to Shane, Ross, Lee and Mikey all of whom couldn\'t have been more helpful.','The Last 4 Days','','inherit','closed','closed','','296-revision-v1','','','2024-07-16 11:26:38','2024-07-16 11:26:38','',296,'https://biomechanicseducation.com/?p=38943',0,'revision','',0),

My desire to better understand when I should refer a client or when I can use my judgement motivated me to question every scenario. He would literally ask me this question in response...\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2><em><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1052 alignright\" src=\"https://biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Screen-Shot-2016-06-14-at-11.33.28-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"238\" />\"What do you think...?\"</em></h2>\n&nbsp;\n\nWe would then get into discussions, he might present me with another idea to consider, yet inevitably he would question me until I worked it out. He never answered my questions, and it drove me nuts...!\n\n&nbsp;\n\nYet it was the best thing he could have done, he gave me a gift, teaching me how to critically analyse my thinking, how to challenge everything until such a point when I felt I had enough information to make a decision. Eventually I realised he could have easily shut me up with an answer to my question but he knew I wouldn\'t learn that way. He took the time to teach me how to work things out for myself.\n\nIt eventually got to the point where I would have a question ready but before I asked him, I would work out my answer to his question.. <em>\"What do you think...?\"  </em>getting ready to tell him the answer. It was then that I realised what he had done for me because I didn\'t even need to ask him anymore....I had learned how to answer my own question by challenging it.\n\nThis style of \'teaching\' I now pass on to my own learners, sharing his gift also drives my learners nuts.....but they love it too!\n\n&nbsp;\n\nFor some reason it\'s very common in the physical activity sector (in my experience) for practitioners to feel they just don\'t know enough, or they know less than everyone else. Yet so many know far more than they realise when it comes to actually helping individuals to move well and pain free. Much of my time in the classroom is showing them just how much they actually do know.\n\n&nbsp;\n<h2><em>What do you focus on...?</em></h2>\nWhen I sought to expand my anatomy knowledge in cadaver labs I began to realise the true complexities and diversities of our bodies.

Today, we\'ll explore two critical areas: extrinsic biomechanics and intrinsic biomechanics. We\'ll clarify how they differ, how they influence each other, and why understanding both is essential.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>What is extrinsic biomechanics?</b>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-34061 alignright\" src=\"https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/sven-mieke-optBC2FxCfc-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" /></span>\r\n\r\nExtrinsic biomechanics focuses on observable movements. It\'s about what we see when someone performs an action, such as a client’s knee buckling inward (knee valgus) during a squat. Basic training might prompt us to correct this by telling the client to \"push their knees out.\" While this can sometimes work, persistent issues may require a deeper analysis through intrinsic biomechanics.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>What is Intrinsic Biomechanics?</strong>\r\n\r\nIntrinsic biomechanics delves into the anatomical substructures—myofascial, skeletal, and neural—behind movements. It seeks to understand why a movement occurs in a particular way. Using the knee valgus example, a practitioner trained in intrinsic biomechanics would evaluate the pelvis, spine, shoulders, knees, and feet. This comprehensive assessment helps identify the root causes of movement issues, which can involve multiple dysfunctions and compensations within the body\'s kinetic chains.\r\n\r\nOnce the problematic body part and substructure are identified, the practitioner can prescribe targeted interventions. They can also re-test immediately after the intervention, providing objective evidence of the cause of the client’s movement limitations.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-33792 aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/shutterstock_1520541617-300x230.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"230\" /></span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Similarities and Differences</strong>\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Similarities:</strong></em>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Both relate to movement and biomechanics.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both are observed from outside.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both are crucial for understanding movement.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both are key for practitioners involved in movement analysis.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<em><strong>Differences:</strong></em>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Extrinsic Biomechanics: This is the more common approach, focusing on what we see during movements. It often involves equipment like gait analysis or motion monitoring tools. It answers the \"what\" of movement analysis.</li>\r\n 	<li>Intrinsic Biomechanics: This approach is newer and less commonly understood. It stems from over 20 years of research on 4,500 subjects. It requires specialized training and a deep understanding of anatomy. Practitioners assess various body types to create customized programs, answering the \"why\" behind movements.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Importance in understanding the difference - case study example</b>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\" wp-image-34059 alignright\" src=\"https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screenshot-2022-10-19-at-15.15.36-300x167.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"365\" height=\"203\" /></span>\r\n\r\nConsider a runner showing extrinsic over-pronation. Video gait analysis might suggest using orthotics or specific shoes to correct this. However, intrinsic biomechanics can reveal underlying causes such as:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Functional leg length discrepancy</li>\r\n 	<li>Dysfunctional pelvis</li>\r\n 	<li>Tight lateral spine flexors</li>\r\n 	<li>Overactive shoulder protractors</li>\r\n 	<li>Ligament dominance</li>\r\n 	<li>Tight calves</li>\r\n 	<li>Tight sciatic nerve</li>\r\n 	<li>Loose subtalar or midtarsal joints</li>\r\n 	<li>Low arch height</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWithout assessing intrinsic biomechanics, these potential causes might be missed, leading to incomplete or ineffective interventions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Conclusion</strong>\r\n\r\nExtrinsic biomechanics can be misinterpreted without an understanding of intrinsic biomechanics.

(39544,3,'2024-09-04 15:28:37','2024-09-04 15:28:37','The Importance of Frontal Plane Training\r\n\r\nFrontal plane training is critically underrated! It plays a vital role in enhancing pelvic biomechanics, improving stability, and reducing the risk of groin strains and hernias. Despite its importance, many trainers overlook its benefits.\r\n\r\nOptimal Strength Ratios\r\n\r\nGeorge Davies, a noted expert in joint ratios, suggests that our strength in hip adduction and abduction should be approximately equal to 100% of our body weight. This 1:1 strength ratio is essential for balanced and functional movement.\r\n\r\nEffective Exercises for Hip Adduction/Abduction\r\n\r\n1. Seated Flexed Hip Abduction/Adduction Machine\r\n\r\nIdeal for beginners, this machine helps build foundational frontal plane strength. Aim for balanced strength in both actions by using the same reps, sets, and weights for adduction and abduction.\r\n\r\n2. Seated Hip Abduction/Adduction Machine with Angle Variations\r\n\r\nBy altering your hip angle—leaning forward or backward—you engage different muscle fibers and enhance hip stability beyond the typical 90-degree seated position.\r\n\r\n3. Seated Hip Abduction/Adduction Machine in a Kneeling Position\r\n\r\nKneeling on the seat and facing the backrest allows for internal and external hip rotation exercises. This variation changes hip angles and incorporates rotational movements, promoting all-around pelvic strength.\r\n\r\n4. Standing Hip Abduction/Adduction with Bands\r\n\r\nUsing resistance bands in a standing position advances the exercise by challenging neuromuscular control and enhancing pelvic and knee stability. Start with the band around the knees, then progress to the ankles, and eventually perform the exercise without support.\r\n\r\n5. Side-Lying Body Weight Lift (Adductors/Internal Rotators)\r\n\r\nThis exercise offers variability and additional training benefits. Lying on your side near a bench, use your adductors to lift your body off the floor. Increase difficulty by lifting the bottom leg or adding rotational movements.\r\n\r\nWhy Isolation Training Matters\r\n\r\nWhile functional training is essential, isolation exercises are crucial for ensuring each muscle group functions properly. Functional strength depends on the proper contribution of each muscle, and isolation training can help prevent injuries.\r\n\r\nGet Involved and Learn More\r\n\r\nThese exercises are just a starting point for training the pelvis through the frontal plane.

(39545,3,'2024-09-06 11:14:34','2024-09-06 11:14:34','<strong>Article Synopsis</strong>\n\nThis article examines how the needs of personal training clients have evolved in recent years, and subsequently, how we as trainers must adapt as a result.  It also dissects the existing functional training paradigm in terms of its competency in serving these ever-changing client expectations.\n\n<strong>Article  Objectives</strong>\n\n1    Understand the strengths and weaknesses of functional training.\n\n2    Explore new ways of preparing your clients for exercise to mitigate the risk of injury.\n\n3    See how an additional skill set will increase both client retention and sales.\n\n<strong>The Evolution of Personal Training &amp; The Health Continuum</strong>\n\nThe role of the personal trainer has evolved significantly in recent years to accommodate growing client needs and demands.\n\nIn the past, clients consulted personal trainers primarily with weight loss or general conditioning goals. These same consumers now expect personal trainers to have a broader scope of practice, including exercise prescription to mitigate back stiffness or soreness, along with a whole host of other musculo-skeletal issues.\n\nMoreover, the role of a personal trainer will quite likely change as a result of a financial downturn. During such challenging economic times, people are even less inclined to spend money on specialised healthcare professionals for what they perceive to be minor issues. This additional expense and inconvenience is often replaced by the preference to visit their personal trainer, whom they already know and trust. It is therefore critical to identify our client’s position on what we call the health continuum – a scale that spans from illness, to wellness, to elite performance. You will find each one of your clients somewhere on this scale, and before any trainer is serious about exercise programme design, the exact location must be determined. Most exercises are suitable for most people, but they can easily be prescribed at the wrong time. An example of this is core stability training: it can help some people but hurt others (McGill 2003). Similarly, biomechanical issues such as a rotated pelvis and leg length discrepancy, with associated muscle spasm in the hips, will likely be aggravated if an asymmetrical exercise such as a lunge was prescribed. Conversely, in the absence of any pelvic dysfunction, the risk of performing lunges would decrease.\n\nAs a result, we, as fitness professionals, must be cognizant of these parameters and guard against taking a “jack-of-all-trades” approach when engaging our clients. Knowing only enough to be dangerous can unfortunately be just that: dangerous! Therefore, as we scan the health and fitness education marketplace searching for new science, modality concepts and delivery methods, we must not only be conscious, but extremely sensitive to the changing demographic that forms the majority of our target audience. Being finely attuned to these consumer trends and needs may very well be the differentiating factor between our competition and us. So while we should not cross medical boundaries by becoming “pseudo-therapists”, we must accept the need for change and ultimately, professional growth.\n\n<strong>1. Functional Training Defined</strong>\n\nThe body is an integrated system, with each of its component parts linked together to provide coordinated movement in our daily lives. With its origins in rehabilitation, functional training helps us prepare for these tasks and engrains the correct movement patterns with which our brains are familiar rather than training isolated muscles.\n\nThere are many variations on the definition of functional training, including:\n\nI    An exercise continuum involving balance and proprioception, performed with the feet on the ground and without machine-assistance, such that strength is displayed in unstable conditions and body weight is managed in all movement planes (Boyle, 2003).\n\nI    Multi-joint, multi-planar, proprioceptively-enriched activity that involves deceleration (force reduction), acceleration (force production) and stabilisation; controlled amounts of instability; and management of gravity, ground reaction forces and momentum (Gambetta &amp; Gray, 1995; Gambetta, 1999).\n\nI    A spectrum of activities that condition the body consistent with its integrated movement and/or use (Santana, 2000).\n\nMany experts also believe that training tasks should be chosen according to their mechanical specificity and relationship to the activities of daily living (ADL). In other words, their basic mechanics – but not necessarily appearance – should correspond to one or more target activities (Santana, 2000; Baechle &amp; Earle, 2000; Siff, 2003; Zatsiorsky, 1995).\n\n<strong>2. The Functional Training Paradigm and its Flaws</strong>\n\nNeedless to say, common definitions and understanding of functional training are quite similar. And predictably, they conform to the same, existing paradigm.\n\nIn 1962, Kuhn defined <em>paradigm</em>s as “universally recognised scientific achievements that for a time provide model problems and solutions to a community of practitioners.” According to Burrell and Morgan (1979), a paradigm provides a conceptual framework for seeing and making sense of the social world. They also suggested that a paradigm “stands for the entire constellation of beliefs, values and techniques, and so on shared by the members of a community.”\n\nParadigms are shaped based on our prior observations and understandings of the world. However, they also contribute to consensual thought processes, which invariably lead to restrained innovation and progress among the community of practitioners. So even as we evaluate the current functional training paradigm, we instinctively look for ways to better deliver variations of it rather than forge forward and penetrate the confines under which we operate. This conformity is evident in most research, too.\n\nKuhn (1962) also recognised that a paradigm inherently gives rise to problems more frequently than it provides a framework for solving them. For solutions and innovation, one generally needs to depart from accepted norms and apply unconventional wisdom in order for system failings to be elucidated.\n\nIn the years that functional screening and training has existed in rehabilitation, many physical therapists found that, although helpful, large gap were apparent and client’s issues persisted. One key gap identified was the body’s ability to compensate for isolated biomechanical flaws, while maintaining acceptable positions during a functional screen.\n\nThis is well demonstrated with a traditional squat pattern. There are three main joints that perform this movement: the hips, the knees, and the ankles. Because the body is a master of compensation, it is entirely possible that your client could have a dysfunctional knee, yet still pass a functional screen due to the hip’s and ankle’s ability to compensate for it. In fact, it could be argued that abnormal functional movement patterns are merely a visible demonstration of the body’s amazing ability to compensate for its biomechanical flaws. In other words, we are very good at cheating - and the more athletic we are, the better we get.\n\n<strong>Biomechanics Defined</strong>\n\nThere are two types of biomechanics: extrinsic and <em>intrinsic</em> (Siff, 2003). Extrinsic is the study and measurement of movement patterns of a particular task.  This is widely recognised and is often on the syllabus of the university programmes in modules in the sports science courses.  This constitutes the existing paradigm and can be seen in many different types of functional screening programmes where the movement itself is the focus of assessment. An <em>Intrinsic</em> biomechanics emphasis, however, falls firmly outside of the current paradigm. It is a discipline in science that enables the analysis and assessment of an individual’s mechanical disposition and how that structure facilitates movement.  Traits can be genetically inherited or influenced by extrinsic factors such as sitting at a desk, driving, doing the wrong gym exercises or running in the wrong shoes.  <em>Intrinsic</em> biomechanics frequently affects extrinsic biomechanical performance.\n\n<strong>3. A new Paradigm and its Benefits</strong>\n\nGiven the intractable challenges we face when introducing completely new ideas and ways of thinking within a well-established paradigm, let us step outside of it for a moment and consider the following: Should we primarily focus on movement patterns and preparation for ADL tasks; or should we be more interested in the way each joint or system is actually intended to move and the best way to utilise or leverage that existing structure?  As we mentioned earlier, consider that each individual has unique, unconditioned (genetic), and conditioned (acquired), reflex codes that determine movement over the course of their life (Karel Lewitt).  Each person starts with unconditioned codes and during their life, for a variety of reasons, begins to acquire conditioned movement codes, more often than not to compensate for injury and biomechanical flaws. Compare this knowledge to the methods we currently employ under the precepts of accepted health, fitness and wellness care and a stark contrast is apparent: The current paradigm encourages us to accept that by patterning a movement ‘correctly’ we automatically ingrain the ability to perform the pattern instinctively, without taking into account the causes of the conditioned movement codes.  The new paradigm proposes to <em>first</em> identify and manage the conditioned movement codes, <em>before</em> teaching and prescribing relevant functional movements.\n\nWhile recognising the effectiveness of functional movement to prepare for function, it would seem that the logical, precursory step would be to add an <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics component. This would illuminate unconditioned and conditioned movement codes and better prepare our client for the onset of functional movement training. By adding this practical foundation to our current training and delivery methodology we would mitigate detected biomechanical flaws. We would also remove the need for the body to intrinsically labor and compensate for flaws a functional screen would otherwise not detect.\n\nSimply put: isolate and integrate. This approach is already in use by “early adopters”, and as usual with cutting-edge science, in time, the “followers” will follow, ultimately resulting in a new and improved paradigm.\n\n<strong>    1    Conclusions</strong>\n\nThe movements we are required to perform nowadays are quite different from those performed by our ancient ancestors. The rigorous and varied movements essential for the survival of our hunter/gatherer cousins have transformed within a hundred years. Activity these days is often limited to small static movements such as typing, steering and using TV remote controls. While some people do exercise, the vast majority does not. So if functional movement and training is defined by its ability to prepare people for ADL, why are we not considering these activities when prescribing exercise in our health, fitness and wellness facilities? One might raise an eyebrow in response to this logic, but actually if we are not following this logic we are simply not adhering to the definition of function (Boyle, 2003; Gambetta &amp; Gray, 1995; Santana, 2000). Therefore, we must deduce that either the definition of, or our approach to, functional training is currently incorrect.\n\nAs functional concepts start to transcend medical fields into fitness, it is important to recognise that biomechanical screening must too. Functional and biomechanical screening and training are very important aspects of an overall conditioning program for any sport or activity and are complementary in every way. However, there are many people who pass a functional screen, yet fail a biomechanical screen. Therefore the two modalities, while both detecting different factors, provide the personal trainer and, indeed the therapist, with essential tools for safe and effective prehab, rehab and general exercise prescription.  At this point is always worth pointing out that you must always be prepared to refer to someone who is more qualified than you to perform any kind of screening, especially if you are inexperienced in the field.\n\nFundamentally, we need to develop our understanding of specific-joint biomechanics such as the pelvis, spine, shoulder and knee. We must also consider nerve biomechanics and function within this new paradigm. Once we understand these <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics principles, how to objectively analyse screens, and how best to implement them as a system, we can prescribe the most efficient and relevant exercises to meet our client’s goals. After these biomechanical issues have been resolved, functional training and/or any other modality of training has a much greater chance for success, not to mention reduced exposure to injury for our clients and members.\n\nMany professional sports teams and organisations around the world have already adopted this <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics approach. And daily they are realising that <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanical screening and corrective exercise prescription is a critical precursor to functional screening and training. It provides a solid foundation for movement patterns that can otherwise be flawed. On the cutting-edge of our industry you will already find “early adopters” practicing <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics as part of their personal training client care. There are some fantastic courses currently being run in the US, the UK and many other countries, so attend an <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics course and become a more complete trainer or therapist as a result.\n\n<strong>Martin Haines </strong>\n\n<strong>Biomechanics Coach</strong>™\n\n<strong>References</strong>\n\n1    Boyle, M.

It plays a vital role in enhancing pelvic biomechanics, improving stability, and reducing the risk of groin strains and hernias. Despite its importance, many trainers overlook its benefits.\r\n\r\nOptimal Strength Ratios\r\n\r\nGeorge Davies, a noted expert in joint ratios, suggests that our strength in hip adduction and abduction should be approximately equal to 100% of our body weight. This 1:1 strength ratio is essential for balanced and functional movement.\r\n\r\nEffective Exercises for Hip Adduction/Abduction\r\n\r\n1. Seated Flexed Hip Abduction/Adduction Machine\r\n\r\nIdeal for beginners, this machine helps build foundational frontal plane strength. Aim for balanced strength in both actions by using the same reps, sets, and weights for adduction and abduction.\r\n\r\n2. Seated Hip Abduction/Adduction Machine with Angle Variations\r\n\r\nBy altering your hip angle—leaning forward or backward—you engage different muscle fibers and enhance hip stability beyond the typical 90-degree seated position.\r\n\r\n3. Seated Hip Abduction/Adduction Machine in a Kneeling Position\r\n\r\nKneeling on the seat and facing the backrest allows for internal and external hip rotation exercises. This variation changes hip angles and incorporates rotational movements, promoting all-around pelvic strength.\r\n\r\n4. Standing Hip Abduction/Adduction with Bands\r\n\r\nUsing resistance bands in a standing position advances the exercise by challenging neuromuscular control and enhancing pelvic and knee stability. Start with the band around the knees, then progress to the ankles, and eventually perform the exercise without support.\r\n\r\n5. Side-Lying Body Weight Lift (Adductors/Internal Rotators)\r\n\r\nThis exercise offers variability and additional training benefits. Lying on your side near a bench, use your adductors to lift your body off the floor. Increase difficulty by lifting the bottom leg or adding rotational movements.\r\n\r\nWhy Isolation Training Matters\r\n\r\nWhile functional training is essential, isolation exercises are crucial for ensuring each muscle group functions properly. Functional strength depends on the proper contribution of each muscle, and isolation training can help prevent injuries.\r\n\r\nGet Involved and Learn More\r\n\r\nThese exercises are just a starting point for training the pelvis through the frontal plane.

Understanding its function and identifying when it is in spasm can help manage lower back pain and improve movement ability.\r\n<h3>What is the Quadratus Lumborum?</h3>\r\nThe QL is a deep muscle located in the lower back, with one on each side of the spine. It attaches to the 12th rib, the iliac crest, and the transverse processes of the lumbar spine.\r\n<h3>Function of the Quadratus Lumborum</h3>\r\nWhen both QL muscles contract simultaneously, they extend the spine. When one QL contracts, it causes lateral flexion of the spine or hip hitching.\r\n<h3>Common Problems with the Quadratus Lumborum</h3>\r\nDue to sedentary lifestyles, we often spend extended periods sitting in lumbar flexion. This can lead to the QL being in a state of subclinical spasm, which restricts movement and can cause discomfort.\r\n<h3>Effects of QL Spasm on Movement</h3>\r\nA QL spasm limits the spine’s ability to laterally flex, making activities such as bending to pick up objects or turning in a car challenging. For physical activities like bear crawls or rock climbing, where hip hitching is necessary, a QL spasm can hinder speed and control.\r\n\r\nA spasm in the QL can also cause mechanical compensation, leading to a functional leg length discrepancy. The spasm lifts the ilium on one side, affecting pelvic function and potentially causing issues in the knee and foot.\r\n<h3>Testing for QL Spasm</h3>\r\nTo test for QL spasm, ask your client to sit and perform lateral flexion. Observe the spine’s movement and shape; a smooth curve is normal, while a ‘hinge’ in the lumbar area indicates a spasm.\r\n\r\n<em>This video shows a few QL tests in action: QL Hinge Positive &amp; Negative Test Results (youtube.com)</em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/xWlGWanUOPE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Solution: Wall Glides</h3>\r\nWall Glides are an effective technique to alleviate QL spasms.

It wouldn\'t make sense, yet many core training programs lack balance, often focusing on flexion (e.g., plank variations) without enough extension exercises. This imbalance neglects the principle that muscles work in pairs, leading to either flexion-dominant or extension-dominant programs. To create effective core training routines, personal trainers need to measure and consider their clients\' core strength ratios.\r\n\r\nFortunately, Professor Stuart McGill from Waterloo University has conducted extensive research on this topic. His studies, initially involving 20 athletes and later expanding to 150 subjects of various demographics, found consistent core strength ratios.\r\n<h3>How to Test Core Strength Ratios</h3>\r\nTo assess a client\'s core strength ratios, follow these steps for isometric core ratio testing:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Isometric Flexion</li>\r\n 	<li>Isometric Side Bridging (both sides)</li>\r\n 	<li>Isometric Extension</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nEach test should be performed in this order, timed, and observed for technique. Clients must hold each position as long as possible without encouragement to ensure natural results.\r\n<h3>Calculating the Ratios</h3>\r\nAfter testing, calculate the core strength ratios:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Draw a Grid</strong>: Note the times in seconds for each test.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Calculate Ratios</strong>: Divide the flexion time by the extension time to get the flexor-to-extensor strength ratio. Repeat for side bridging to assess lateral flexor strength ratios, which can indicate asymmetries.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Using the Data to Build Training Programs</h3>\r\nWith the ratios calculated, you can design a balanced training program:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Flexor Training: If the flexor ratio is low, incorporate isometric flexion exercises.</li>\r\n 	<li>Lateral Training: If one side\'s ratio is low, include isometric side bridging.</li>\r\n 	<li>Extension Training: If the extension ratio is low, add isometric extension exercises.</li>\r\n 	<li>Monitor progress closely and re-measure ratios regularly to prevent overcompensation.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Achieving Balance and Stability</h3>\r\nOnce the ratios align with the norms, shift the focus to endurance for stability and trunk control.\r\n<h3>Enhance Your Training Skills</h3>\r\nWould you like to reduce your clients\' risk of injury and help them achieve even better results?

(39564,3,'2024-09-05 10:25:25','2024-09-05 10:25:25','<h2>Introduction:</h2>\r\nBiomechanics, essentially the application of mechanics to biology, plays a pivotal role in understanding how the body responds to forces and displacements. It encompasses both extrinsic and intrinsic biomechanics, each serving distinct purposes in the realm of human movement and performance.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\" wp-image-30503 aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_2288-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"356\" height=\"356\" />\r\n<h3>Extrinsic Biomechanics:</h3>\r\nExtrinsic biomechanics focuses on analysing movements and tasks to determine the most efficient ways to perform them. It is integral to sports, health, fitness, and work-related physical conditioning. Understanding fundamental mechanical principles like levers and equilibrium is crucial before delving into more complex functional movements.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img class=\" wp-image-27751 aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/shutterstock_1311339359-1-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"259\" />\r\n</span></h2>\r\n<h3>Intrinsic Biomechanics:</h3>\r\nIntrinsic biomechanics delves into how the body mechanically functions during movement or tasks. It significantly influences how the body compensates during functional activities, and understanding intrinsic biomechanics is essential for identifying and addressing movement faults and minimizing injury risks.\r\n<h3>Applications of Biomechanics:</h3>\r\nBiomechanics finds extensive application in elite sports, where analyzing extrinsic biomechanics can reveal performance inefficiencies like energy leaks or suboptimal power production. However, intrinsic biomechanics provides a deeper understanding, pinpointing specific areas or structures contributing to faulty performance.\r\n<h3>Benefits of Biomechanics:</h3>\r\nBiomechanics offers numerous benefits, including evidence-based assessments, performance feedback, injury risk identification, and tailored exercise prescription. It deepens our understanding of movement and enables bespoke programming to optimize performance and minimize injury risks.\r\n<h3>Elements of Biomechanics:</h3>\r\nUnderstanding elements like equilibrium, levers, and turning forces is crucial in biomechanics. Equilibrium pertains to body balance, while levers and turning forces elucidate how forces interact within the body during movement.\r\n<h4>Equilibrium</h4>\r\nEquilibrium is often divided into 2 sections:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>Static; which is concerned with the body in balance</li>\r\n 	<li>Dynamic; which is concerned with the body in a range of motion.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<h3>Levers</h3>\r\nA lever is a simple machine that enables work to be done more easily and/or more quickly by applying forces. A lever consists of a straight bar with 3 points:\r\n\r\nPoint 1. Where there is a fixed fulcrum\r\n\r\nPoint 2. Where there is a resistance or weight acting upon the lever\r\n\r\nPoint 3. Where the force or power is applied to the lever.\r\n\r\nThis can be applied to the body when considering the bones as the lever, the joint as a fulcrum or pivot point and the muscles contracting to produce the force.\r\n<h3>Careers in Biomechanics:</h3>\r\nThe field of biomechanics offers diverse career opportunities, ranging from biomechanics coaching and training to research and engineering. Various qualifications, from university degrees to specialized diplomas and workshops, cater to different interests and educational backgrounds.\r\n<h3>Conclusion:</h3>\r\nBiomechanics serves as a scientific foundation for understanding human movement, enhancing sports performance, and minimizing injury risks. Its evidence-based approach and multidisciplinary applications make it indispensable in various fields, from sports science to healthcare and beyond.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h1></h1>','What is biomechanics?','','inherit','closed','closed','','33064-revision-v1','','','2024-09-05 10:25:25','2024-09-05 10:25:25','',33064,'https://biomechanicseducation.com/?p=39564',0,'revision','',0),

This progression challenges stabilizers more over time, improving their ability to handle loads and maintain stability during activities of daily living (ADL).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-31428 aligncenter\" src=\"https://biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_4103-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h2></h2>\r\n<h3>Considerations for Trainers</h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>List Neuromuscular Exercises: Identify various exercises and order them from easiest to most challenging.</li>\r\n 	<li>Client-Specific Programmes: Determine which clients need which exercises and why.</li>\r\n 	<li>Testing and Assessment: Implement a testing system to track progress and tailor exercises to client needs.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-31427 aligncenter\" src=\"https://biomechanicseducation.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IMG_4675-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Enhance Your Knowledge</h3>\r\nFor further learning, consider our online CPD courses.

(39586,3,'2024-09-06 11:15:17','2024-09-06 11:15:17','<strong>Article Synopsis</strong>\r\n\r\nThis article examines how the needs of personal training clients have evolved in recent years, and subsequently, how we as trainers must adapt as a result.  It also dissects the existing functional training paradigm in terms of its competency in serving these ever-changing client expectations.\r\n\r\n<strong>Article  Objectives</strong>\r\n\r\n1    Understand the strengths and weaknesses of functional training.\r\n\r\n2    Explore new ways of preparing your clients for exercise to mitigate the risk of injury.\r\n\r\n3    See how an additional skill set will increase both client retention and sales.\r\n\r\n<strong>The Evolution of Personal Training &amp; The Health Continuum</strong>\r\n\r\nThe role of the personal trainer has evolved significantly in recent years to accommodate growing client needs and demands.\r\n\r\nIn the past, clients consulted personal trainers primarily with weight loss or general conditioning goals. These same consumers now expect personal trainers to have a broader scope of practice, including exercise prescription to mitigate back stiffness or soreness, along with a whole host of other musculo-skeletal issues.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the role of a personal trainer will quite likely change as a result of a financial downturn. During such challenging economic times, people are even less inclined to spend money on specialised healthcare professionals for what they perceive to be minor issues. This additional expense and inconvenience is often replaced by the preference to visit their personal trainer, whom they already know and trust. It is therefore critical to identify our client’s position on what we call the health continuum – a scale that spans from illness, to wellness, to elite performance. You will find each one of your clients somewhere on this scale, and before any trainer is serious about exercise programme design, the exact location must be determined. Most exercises are suitable for most people, but they can easily be prescribed at the wrong time. An example of this is core stability training: it can help some people but hurt others (McGill 2003). Similarly, biomechanical issues such as a rotated pelvis and leg length discrepancy, with associated muscle spasm in the hips, will likely be aggravated if an asymmetrical exercise such as a lunge was prescribed. Conversely, in the absence of any pelvic dysfunction, the risk of performing lunges would decrease.\r\n\r\nAs a result, we, as fitness professionals, must be cognizant of these parameters and guard against taking a “jack-of-all-trades” approach when engaging our clients. Knowing only enough to be dangerous can unfortunately be just that: dangerous! Therefore, as we scan the health and fitness education marketplace searching for new science, modality concepts and delivery methods, we must not only be conscious, but extremely sensitive to the changing demographic that forms the majority of our target audience. Being finely attuned to these consumer trends and needs may very well be the differentiating factor between our competition and us. So while we should not cross medical boundaries by becoming “pseudo-therapists”, we must accept the need for change and ultimately, professional growth.\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Functional Training Defined</strong>\r\n\r\nThe body is an integrated system, with each of its component parts linked together to provide coordinated movement in our daily lives. With its origins in rehabilitation, functional training helps us prepare for these tasks and engrains the correct movement patterns with which our brains are familiar rather than training isolated muscles.\r\n\r\nThere are many variations on the definition of functional training, including:\r\n\r\nI    An exercise continuum involving balance and proprioception, performed with the feet on the ground and without machine-assistance, such that strength is displayed in unstable conditions and body weight is managed in all movement planes (Boyle, 2003).\r\n\r\nI    Multi-joint, multi-planar, proprioceptively-enriched activity that involves deceleration (force reduction), acceleration (force production) and stabilisation; controlled amounts of instability; and management of gravity, ground reaction forces and momentum (Gambetta &amp; Gray, 1995; Gambetta, 1999).\r\n\r\nI    A spectrum of activities that condition the body consistent with its integrated movement and/or use (Santana, 2000).\r\n\r\nMany experts also believe that training tasks should be chosen according to their mechanical specificity and relationship to the activities of daily living (ADL). In other words, their basic mechanics – but not necessarily appearance – should correspond to one or more target activities (Santana, 2000; Baechle &amp; Earle, 2000; Siff, 2003; Zatsiorsky, 1995).\r\n\r\n<strong>2. The Functional Training Paradigm and its Flaws</strong>\r\n\r\nNeedless to say, common definitions and understanding of functional training are quite similar. And predictably, they conform to the same, existing paradigm.\r\n\r\nIn 1962, Kuhn defined <em>paradigm</em>s as “universally recognised scientific achievements that for a time provide model problems and solutions to a community of practitioners.” According to Burrell and Morgan (1979), a paradigm provides a conceptual framework for seeing and making sense of the social world. They also suggested that a paradigm “stands for the entire constellation of beliefs, values and techniques, and so on shared by the members of a community.”\r\n\r\nParadigms are shaped based on our prior observations and understandings of the world. However, they also contribute to consensual thought processes, which invariably lead to restrained innovation and progress among the community of practitioners. So even as we evaluate the current functional training paradigm, we instinctively look for ways to better deliver variations of it rather than forge forward and penetrate the confines under which we operate. This conformity is evident in most research, too.\r\n\r\nKuhn (1962) also recognised that a paradigm inherently gives rise to problems more frequently than it provides a framework for solving them. For solutions and innovation, one generally needs to depart from accepted norms and apply unconventional wisdom in order for system failings to be elucidated.\r\n\r\nIn the years that functional screening and training has existed in rehabilitation, many physical therapists found that, although helpful, large gap were apparent and client’s issues persisted. One key gap identified was the body’s ability to compensate for isolated biomechanical flaws, while maintaining acceptable positions during a functional screen.\r\n\r\nThis is well demonstrated with a traditional squat pattern. There are three main joints that perform this movement: the hips, the knees, and the ankles. Because the body is a master of compensation, it is entirely possible that your client could have a dysfunctional knee, yet still pass a functional screen due to the hip’s and ankle’s ability to compensate for it. In fact, it could be argued that abnormal functional movement patterns are merely a visible demonstration of the body’s amazing ability to compensate for its biomechanical flaws. In other words, we are very good at cheating - and the more athletic we are, the better we get.\r\n\r\n<strong>Biomechanics Defined</strong>\r\n\r\nThere are two types of biomechanics: extrinsic and <em>intrinsic</em> (Siff, 2003). Extrinsic is the study and measurement of movement patterns of a particular task.  This is widely recognised and is often on the syllabus of the university programmes in modules in the sports science courses.  This constitutes the existing paradigm and can be seen in many different types of functional screening programmes where the movement itself is the focus of assessment. An <em>Intrinsic</em> biomechanics emphasis, however, falls firmly outside of the current paradigm. It is a discipline in science that enables the analysis and assessment of an individual’s mechanical disposition and how that structure facilitates movement.  Traits can be genetically inherited or influenced by extrinsic factors such as sitting at a desk, driving, doing the wrong gym exercises or running in the wrong shoes.  <em>Intrinsic</em> biomechanics frequently affects extrinsic biomechanical performance.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. A new Paradigm and its Benefits</strong>\r\n\r\nGiven the intractable challenges we face when introducing completely new ideas and ways of thinking within a well-established paradigm, let us step outside of it for a moment and consider the following: Should we primarily focus on movement patterns and preparation for ADL tasks; or should we be more interested in the way each joint or system is actually intended to move and the best way to utilise or leverage that existing structure?  As we mentioned earlier, consider that each individual has unique, unconditioned (genetic), and conditioned (acquired), reflex codes that determine movement over the course of their life (Karel Lewitt).  Each person starts with unconditioned codes and during their life, for a variety of reasons, begins to acquire conditioned movement codes, more often than not to compensate for injury and biomechanical flaws. Compare this knowledge to the methods we currently employ under the precepts of accepted health, fitness and wellness care and a stark contrast is apparent: The current paradigm encourages us to accept that by patterning a movement ‘correctly’ we automatically ingrain the ability to perform the pattern instinctively, without taking into account the causes of the conditioned movement codes.  The new paradigm proposes to <em>first</em> identify and manage the conditioned movement codes, <em>before</em> teaching and prescribing relevant functional movements.\r\n\r\nWhile recognising the effectiveness of functional movement to prepare for function, it would seem that the logical, precursory step would be to add an <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics component. This would illuminate unconditioned and conditioned movement codes and better prepare our client for the onset of functional movement training. By adding this practical foundation to our current training and delivery methodology we would mitigate detected biomechanical flaws. We would also remove the need for the body to intrinsically labor and compensate for flaws a functional screen would otherwise not detect.\r\n\r\nSimply put: isolate and integrate. This approach is already in use by “early adopters”, and as usual with cutting-edge science, in time, the “followers” will follow, ultimately resulting in a new and improved paradigm.\r\n\r\n<strong>    1    Conclusions</strong>\r\n\r\nThe movements we are required to perform nowadays are quite different from those performed by our ancient ancestors. The rigorous and varied movements essential for the survival of our hunter/gatherer cousins have transformed within a hundred years. Activity these days is often limited to small static movements such as typing, steering and using TV remote controls. While some people do exercise, the vast majority does not. So if functional movement and training is defined by its ability to prepare people for ADL, why are we not considering these activities when prescribing exercise in our health, fitness and wellness facilities? One might raise an eyebrow in response to this logic, but actually if we are not following this logic we are simply not adhering to the definition of function (Boyle, 2003; Gambetta &amp; Gray, 1995; Santana, 2000). Therefore, we must deduce that either the definition of, or our approach to, functional training is currently incorrect.\r\n\r\nAs functional concepts start to transcend medical fields into fitness, it is important to recognise that biomechanical screening must too. Functional and biomechanical screening and training are very important aspects of an overall conditioning program for any sport or activity and are complementary in every way. However, there are many people who pass a functional screen, yet fail a biomechanical screen. Therefore the two modalities, while both detecting different factors, provide the personal trainer and, indeed the therapist, with essential tools for safe and effective prehab, rehab and general exercise prescription.  At this point is always worth pointing out that you must always be prepared to refer to someone who is more qualified than you to perform any kind of screening, especially if you are inexperienced in the field.\r\n\r\nFundamentally, we need to develop our understanding of specific-joint biomechanics such as the pelvis, spine, shoulder and knee. We must also consider nerve biomechanics and function within this new paradigm. Once we understand these <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics principles, how to objectively analyse screens, and how best to implement them as a system, we can prescribe the most efficient and relevant exercises to meet our client’s goals. After these biomechanical issues have been resolved, functional training and/or any other modality of training has a much greater chance for success, not to mention reduced exposure to injury for our clients and members.\r\n\r\nMany professional sports teams and organisations around the world have already adopted this <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics approach. And daily they are realising that <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanical screening and corrective exercise prescription is a critical precursor to functional screening and training. It provides a solid foundation for movement patterns that can otherwise be flawed. On the cutting-edge of our industry you will already find “early adopters” practicing <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics as part of their personal training client care. There are some fantastic courses currently being run in the US, the UK and many other countries, so attend an <em>intrinsic</em> biomechanics course and become a more complete trainer or therapist as a result.\r\n\r\n<strong>Martin Haines </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Biomechanics Coach</strong>™\r\n\r\n<strong>References</strong>\r\n\r\n1    Boyle, M.
