25.01.2022 2020 Habits If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got Albert Einstein HAB-IT : ... A routine or practice performed regularly; an automatic response to a specific situation. Habits deliver numerous benefits, but the downside is that they lock us into our previous patterns of thinking and acting even when the world is shifting around us. Everything is impermanent. Life is constantly changing, so you need to periodically check in to see if your old habits and beliefs are still serving you. A lack of self-awareness is poison. Reflection and review is the antidote. - James Clear by @dux_shoots @crossfitdux #2020 #habits #goals #bebetter #exceedyourexpectations #movewell #awareness #trainyourhabits #painfree #physio #crossfit #train #lift #move See more

23.01.2022 Do you experience neck pain, headaches or migraines At the base of the skull there are a group of four muscles that form the suboccipital muscles, which help to connect the base of the skull and the first and second vertebrae in the neck and create movement at these segments. These consist of:... Rectus Capitis Posterior Major Rectus Capitis Posterior Minor Obliquus Capitis Superior Obliquus Capitis Inferior Their names rectus (straight) and obliquus (oblique) suggest the direction of muscle orientation and their respective movement, collectively acting to extend and rotate the head. Often, these guys are the bad boys responsible for tension headaches and can be a real pain in the neck Trigger points in these muscles can refer into the side of the head and behind the eye. Factors that may contribute to increased tension in these muscles include: Weakened deep neck flexors (the muscles in the front of the neck) Ergonomic work setup Grinding teeth (bruxism) Eye strain new glasses or in need of new glasses Trauma whiplash injury Artiste @fanaynaychandler Mawdel @ellbow3 #neck #painintheneck #pain #discomfort #headaches #migraines #suboccipitals #neckmuscles #muscles #rotation #extension #function #functionwell #movement #painting #anatomy #surfaceanatomy #science #relief #release #tension #physio #exercise #gym #gymgoers #crossfit See more

18.01.2022 Breathing connects all parts of movement, yet remains a neglected aspect of exercise, training, rehabilitation and pain. More often than not, the power of breath and its rhythm is stuck in the middle regions of function that is shallow, disconnected and inefficient as opposed to reaching its potential for performance improvement at either end of the spectrum complete relaxation or superior fatigue management. Typical examples of breathing and their differences can be ...identified between mouth vs nose - dominant breathers: Mouth breathing patterns are generally related to shallow, superficial upper-chest breathing.This can also be seen as excessive stressing of anterior neck musculature in order to gain additional stability and control as well as patterns of regular rest and intervals to control breathing while exercising. Nose-dominant breathing is coupled with deep, diaphragmatic breathing patterns that optimises movement that is based both on power/strength and stamina/endurance. In addition to performance-based breathing, controlled diaphragmatic breathing is also beneficial for management of stress, anxiety, dysfunction and pain through its affect on the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest system reduces heart rate and conserves energy). #breath #breathwork #breathe #control #optimise #performance #reducepain #parasympatheticnervoussystem #stressmanagement #painmanagement #painreduction #rehabilitation #holistic #painscience #physiotherapy #diaphragm #diaphragmaticbreathing #deepbreathing #technique See more

16.01.2022 Deltoideus "delts" The deltoid muscles are located on the outer aspect of the shoulder, recognised by its triangular shape and hence named after the Greek letter Delta ATTACHMENTS ... It connects the point of the shoulder (acromion), shoulder blade (spine of scapula) and the collarbone (lateral third of clavicle) to the upper arm anchored into a V-shaped channel (deltoid tuberosity of humerus ). The delts are made up with three main sets of fibers: anterior, middle, and posterior and thus have differing actions. FUNCTIONS All fibres working synergistically help the supraspinatus muscle (one of four rotator cuff muscles) abduct the arm - lift it out to the side of the body. Otherwise, actions of the anterior and posterior fibres oppose each other (antagonists). ANTERIOR FIBRES Flexion and internal rotation of the arm at the shoulder. Works as a functional unit with the pecs, biceps and corachobrachialis. MIDDLE Abduction of the arm at the shoulder. Works as functional unit with upper traps, supraspinatus and rhomboids. POSTERIOR Extension of the arm at the shoulder and external rotation of the arm. These fibres also play a role in securing the humerus in the glenoid cavity to prevent downward dislocation. Works as a functional unit with long head of triceps brachii, lats and teres major.

11.01.2022 HAMS The hamstrings 'hammies' consist of 3 muscles at the back of the thigh : Semitendinosis... Semimembranosus Biceps Femoris (long head and short head) ATTACHMENTS Attachments of the hamstrings are at the ischial tuberosity - the bony bit of your ass that you sit on. This excludes the short head of biceps, which attaches to posterior middle third of the femur. The medial hamstrings semitendinosis and semimembranosis attach medially to inside of the tibia below the knee. Both heads of the lateral hamstrings biceps femoris attach distally below the knee to posterolateral aspects of the fibula, as you can see from the painting above. FUNCTION The hammies act primarily as hip extensors and knee flexors. The short head of biceps, however, acts only at the knee as it does not have an attachment to the pelvis. It is particularly active in knee flexion for toe clearance so that you dont kick your toe and a) swear to the gods, or b) trip and fall. When the knee is bent, the semitendinosis and semimembranosis facilitate medial rotation of the leg at the knee, while the biceps femoris assist in lateral rotation. During standing or forward bending, the hamstrings control flexion at the hip. During walking, the hamstrings function indirectly to keep the trunk upright during the stance phase by directly resisting the tendency toward hip flexion that is produced by body weight. They also act to eccentrically decelerate the limb at the terminal swing phase of gait. STRAINS Hamstring strains/tears are typically due to excess load in an eccentric contraction OR extreme stretch. These are commonly seen in sports that require quick acceleration and deceleration and change in direction, such as football, tennis, soccer for the former; and sports such as dancing and ballet for the latter. @greggdux @duxshoots Model @courtneyhaley #hamstrings #hammies #hams #bicepsfemoris #semitendinosus #semimembranosus #thigh #thickthighssavelives #athlete #tear #strain #rehab #prehab #strength #control #load #gym #deadlift #rdl #sprint #nordics #eccentricload #physio See more

09.01.2022 TRAP CITY If you dont know what muscle the traps (trapezius) are I am referring to the THICK (thiccc, thiyacck) muscles of juiced dudes with no neck... I know yall KNOW! ANATOMY / ATTACHMENTS... The traps form a diamond shape from the base of the skull (occiput) to the last thoracic vertebrae (T12) of the spine. It also inserts into the outermost (lateral) 1/3 of the collarbone (clavicle) and the spine of the shoulder blade (scapula). FUNCTION Upper fibres: draw the collar bones up and backwards - indirectly involving the shoulder blade and raise them by rotating the collar bone where it meets the sternum (sternoclavicular joint) Middle fibres: pulls the shoulder blade towards the midline (adduction) to stabilise traction forces Lower fibres: stabilises the shoulder blade during rotation (ie lifting the arm up) Often pain can refer from the traps into the back of the head to the temple and back of the eye , as well as the angle of the jaw (mandible), also being a potential source of neckache and tension headaches YUCKY! WHY THOUGH Pain from the traps can result from altered movement patterns including: Tight pectoral muscles as seen with rounded shoulders, may be accompanied by an underactive function of the lower trapezius Tight but weak upper traps, often also accompanied by weak rotator cuff Mawdel @jbleet Painting @fanaynaychandler Photo @fanaynaychandler #crossfit #gymnastics #rings #bar #muscle #muscleup #trapezius #traps #trapcity #fitness #strength #shoulder #back #lift #anatomy #learn #physio #therapy #movement #movemore #moveit #motion #gym #activehang See more

06.01.2022 Serratus Anterior Boxers Muscle A fan-shaped muscle, derived from the latin serra = saw (referring to the jagged shape of the muscle resembling the cutting teeth of a saw eg 'serrated' knife ) and anterior referring to the front aspect of the body. ANATOMY ATTACHMENTS... The SA has distinct muscle muscle fibre arrangements that run from the 1st to the 8th/9th ribs at the side of the chest to the costal/anterior surface of the medial border of the shoulder blade. FUNCTION Protraction of the shoulder blades - often referred to as the boxers muscle due to its role in pulling the scapula forward and around the rib cage as occurs when throwing a punch Upward rotation of shoulder blades - to turn the shoulder socket (glenoid fossa) upward during elevation and abduction. It is also the big player in preventing pseudo winging , as caused by instability or lack of neuromuscular control around the shoulder blade (scapula). True winging is caused by serratus anterior muscle palsy secondary to damage of the long thoracic nerve. The SA and upper traps work TOGETHER to stabilise the scapula and humerus in overhead movements. The strength ratio between these two muscles allow the scapula to elevate and rotate in order to create space in the shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) for optimal movement. Referred pain can occur around the lateral side of the chest, bottom angle of the shoulder blade and may extend down the inside of the arm to the palm and ring finger . More severe referral pain and respiratory symptoms may occur during intense exercise or running presenting as a stitch in the side Painting @fanaynaychandler Mawdel @chrismcillhatton #muscle #anatomy #anatomypainting #surfaceanatomy #gym #gymgoers #crossfit #sport #overhead #athlete #boxing #serratus #serratusanterior #shoulder #shoulderstability #stability #shoulderstrength #impingment #mechanics #shoulderblade #scapula #scapulothoracic #scapulohumeralrhythm #physio #physiotherapy #therapy #movement #movementpatterns #strength #motorcontrol See more

06.01.2022 Pec Major #rackcity The pecs are a large fan-shaped muscle that connects the chest bone (sternum) and collarbone (clavicle) to the arm bone (humerus). Derived from the latin pectus meaning breast ( . )( . ) ... ANATOMY The pec major has fibres that are multidirectional, originating from multiple landmarks: Sternocostal head: - Sternum - Upper rib (costal) cartilages of the 1st - 6th ribs Clavicular head: - Middle half of the collar bone - Aponeurosis of external oblique Inserts into the upper arm (lateral lip of bicipital groove of humerus) FUNCTION Flexion lifting the arm up in front overhead Adduction bring the arm towards the middle of the body Internal Rotation rotating the arm inwards towards the body STRETCHES Positions that stretch the pec are the opposite of its function: Shoulder extension Abduction External rotation Refer to the photos attached for demonstrations of a pec stretch. The aim of this is to open the chest so focus on rotating the armpit forward and pinning your shoulder blade down against the ribs. Swipe left for a poor demonstration of the pec stretch where the shoulder drops forward into internal rotation. Be gentle with these stretches as it is easy to stress the anterior capsule and long head of biceps. This is one simple addition to your day especially for those constantly at a desk or sitting and need to get moving out of these positions during the day. This can easily be done in a doorframe or against a wall. Of course, some additional mobility and strength work never goes astray to counter lack of movement during the day!

05.01.2022 Do you have lower back pain (LBP) Quadratus Lumborum may be the culprit! A square-shaped deep abdominal muscle.... Latin Root: Quadratus quadrus = square ; Lumborum lumbus = loin ANATOMY / ATTACHMENTS Connects your last rib (12th rib) to your pelvis (iliac crest) and spine (L1-L4). ACTION of QL Stabilisation: lower back (lumbar spine) when a person is upright Extension: when both sides work together (bilaterally) the QL muscle arches (extends) the lower back Lateral flexion: when only one side activates (unilaterally) it acts to bend to one side Elevation: it can act as a hip hiker ie. Lifting hip up towards the ribcage Respiration: due to the attachment in the rib it also assists functions of breathing in both normal inhalation (by helping to stabilise the attachment of the diaphragm to the 12th rib) and forced exhalation (eg. coughing). This bad boy can thus be a source of lower back pain for many people. Pain may be produced with walking, lying down, turning over in bed, standing up from a chair or when coughing or sneezing. Pain may also refer into the SIJ (sacroiliac joint) and lower buttock, the hip and anteriorly into the abdomen and groin (as seen if you swipe ). Altered movement patterns associated with the QL e.g extension bias may contribute to a number of issues above and below the area and may often be attributed to altered lumbopelvic control. If this is you, give the stretch above a try... Then ACTIVATE (use it!). Remember muscles do not work in isolation...

05.01.2022 LATISSIMUS DORSI Wings Im a peacock you gotta let me FLY! The lats are the largest muscle in the upper body. Its name is derived from the latin latissimus = broadest and dorsum = back, meaning broadest muscle of the back .... ANATOMY / ATTACHMENTS It connects the bones of the upper arm (humerus) to the spine (lower 6 thoracic vertebrae and all the lumbar vertebrae), pelvis (sacrum and posterior crest of ilium) and lower ribs . FUNCTION Adduction, extension and medial/internal rotation of the shoulder Flexion from an extended position Depression of the shoulder girdle - combination of depression and extension acting through the shoulder adducts the scapula and draws the shoulder girdle downward and backward Assists lateral flexion and extension of the spine helps to stabilise the spine in during movements such as squats, deadlifts and pressing movements If the lats lack mobility or strength, compensations up or down the kinetic chain may occur, for example at the shoulder or the lower back. This is especially relevant for overhead athletes, such as swimmers , gymnasts , lifters, and crossfitters Pain from these guys may also refer to the middle of the back (mid-thoracic region), lower angle of the shoulder blade and may extend to the back of the armpit down the inner side of the arm, forearm and into the ring and pinky fingers .

04.01.2022 To core or not to core The core is poorly defined and means different things to different people. While many may associate visible abs as a sign of core strength, this is more reflective of a clean diet and lean muscle mass, not necessarily strength or function. Instead, it should be considered as a system inclusive of mullltttipplllee muscles that work to control intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). The major muscles include, but are not limited to, the diaphragm, ba...ck muscles, multiple inner and outer abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor, not just the rectus abdominis 6-pack abs although these ones are pretty dang good @anwilson84. Your trunk or core muscles respond to the given demand of the load or movement . This response is usually without conscious effort or thought in low level activities, however, involves different recruitment and technique when lifting heavy weights . While there is a lot of hype in the health and fitness industry identifying weak core as the culprit for back pain, retraining Transverse Abdominis in isolation is simply not the answer. But more on that later It is likely you are already training your core if you are training the major muscle groups . Your abdominal muscles are still going to work in conjunction with the other muscles and movements and not in isolation .

03.01.2022 SCAPULA / SHOULDER BLADE SCAPULAR ROLE ____________________________________________ To provide STABILITY and MOBILITY at the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint To transfer loads between the torso and the upper limb and vice versa... Proper alignment produces ideal length-tension relationships for upper limb muscle function. N.B. that asymmetry or variations in alignment do NOT necessarily indicate pain or pathology! STABILITY ____________________________________________ Dependent on 3 subsystems: 1. PASSIVE Intrinsic stabilisers deep within the joint that include structures such as the capsule , labrum and ligaments 2. ACTIVE Primary muscles that actively hold the head of the humerus in the shoudler socket (glenoid fossa), namely the rotator cuff (supra-/infra- spinatus, subscapularis, teres minor). Surrounding extrinsic muscles that assist scapular movement (deltoids "delts", latissimus dorsi "lats", serratus anterior "serratus", pectoralis minor/major "pecs", trapezius "traps", levator scapulae, rhomboids.....) 3. MOTOR CONTROL Neural, physical and behavioural aspects that underline human movement during a motor task ____________________________________________ Muscles do not act in isolation!
