Corrective Exercise Challenge 2

Ok HOT SHOTS! You asked for more....here it is! The response to our last Corrective Exercise Challenge was HUGE! You took the challenge head on and were right on track..! Have you ever wondered what separates you from the "Big Guns" in the world of personal training? What do they know that you dont? Its not WHO you know....(okay maybe sometimes it is!)...but in this case, it is WHAT YOU KNOW..that can keep you from reaching your goals....prevent you from living your dream career as a personal trainer. Those who are "in the know" are practicing dysfunctional movement detectives! They seek out muscle imbalance and destroy dysfunctional movement patterns through their PT arsenal of corrective exercise techniques!....Do you want to be a "Big Gun"?...Are you "in the know"?.......
What is in your PT arsenal?

Also waiting for the original poster to comment. Not a trainer but am going to take a stab at this: all glutes are weak, esp g. max; also v. medialis, tib. post. and soleus - primarily for eccentric control. Begin: BOSU squats w/ball b/w knees, heel tap downs from increasing height or single leg squat to wall depending on control; 4-way hip w/cables or bands; lateral slide lunge/ star pattern; single & double foot hops in place/in patterns; lawn-mower pulls w/ wo weight/resist.

still no comments by the original poster?

corrective exercises: isolate the muscles responsible for hip abduction with stability exercises including: skaters, standing one leg abduction, hip external rotation...then integrated stability exercises: Stability Ball knee tucks, SB one leg bridges, one leg hip adduction.next isometrically and eccentrically work the hip flexion and extension movements: isometric wall squats (SB), eccentric one leg press, countdown lunges.next work the calfs: two leg calf raises followed by one leg eccentric

[crob1280]

during the hip flexion movement, his TFL, anterior tibialis and gluteus medius are weak...during the hip extension movement, his TFL, gluteus medius, and possibly both his biceps femoris are weak...during the anterior hop, his TFL gluteus medius and soleus are weka...during the posterior hop, his vastus medialis, adductors (primarily sartorius) are weak.

I would agree with the above comment about a weak gluteus medias, but I think it's actually ABductors that are weak here as well. Those are the major ones. I would say the adductors are tight and need stretching, most likely the hamstrings and anterior tibialis too. Those would need stretching. I would have this guy do some band work with the abductors and even to squats with a band around his knees.

Right knee keeps dropping inwards - no glutes or adductor involovement. Do glute/hip lifts, roll it band on rt. side as its doing too much work as it is. Lunges onto a step to hit the adductors also.

all the best
