2 ft. x 3 ft. laminated and beautifully illustrated wall poster, detailing Postural Patterns, Spring Systems, Scoliosis and Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes.  An outline of typical weak/inhibited muscles and tight/facilitated muscles in upper and lower crossed syndromes is presented, along with which muscles need “muscle spindle stimulation” techniques and which to avoid creating length in in the Myoskeletal Spring Systems of the body.

Add  this poster to your treatment room as a reference for treating upper and lower cross syndrome, forward head postures, low back pain, gait dysfunction and more.  Detailed information on aberrant postures will also help you educate your clients/patients as to their cause of pain.

A primary goal of CS training is teaching clients how to recruit specific deep trunk muscles to effectively control lumbar spine positioning during dynamic movements. Core training is intended to provide essential joint stiffness and stability, allowing the body’s large prime movers (global muscles) a solid working foundation. Carolyn Richardson, describing her research on core stability states, “Thus, conceptually, the transversus abdominis and multifidus form the walls of a cylinder while the muscles of the pelvic floor and diaphragm form its base and lid, respectively. There is some initial evidence that these four muscles act in synergy to provide a spinal support mechanism.”

Since so many popular bodywork modalities are based on core stability principles such as co-contraction of  transversus abdominis/pelvic floor muscles during specific movements, I’d like to get your feedback on this issue?
