G A I T T R A I N I NG RepostBy @drcourtconley: "Strengthening activates different areas of the motor cortex then skill training. (Jensen 2005) 😳 Conley throwing out some research. @paul_the_physio and @rocktapeaustralia...I can only hope to be on top of my game as you guys are😉. Thank you. These guys know their stuff. And they’re both @rocktape instructors 👍🏼 . Here we go 👣 Yes we have a frontal plane / coronal plane leak. Call it what you will, trendelenberg, gluteus medius inhibition. Don’t use the word weak 🤦🏻‍♀️. No one wants to hear they have a weak ass 👣 Strengthening the gluteus medius does something different than retraining gait patterns. You need both. In fact if you look at the research, simply strengthening the glutes won’t do much to fixing this pattern, unless you train the SKILL #bingo 👣 1️⃣. Stance leg. Step. Hip hike. And do it aggressively. Is there any other way? Frontal plane only. Hand on your 🍑 and feel something . 2️⃣. Swing leg. Hand on your obliques. Dig your fingers into your sides. Aggressively. 😉. If you feel nothing, don’t be mad at your hip flexor, it’s tired of lifting your leg with no help (runners, cyclists, humans who walk upstairs, think groin pain here) . 3️⃣ slowly lower. And those hands better still be feeling something. Eccentric control is the king of the hill. No leak. No sway. 4️⃣ make sure that big toe touches the outside of the band. No crossover 5️⃣ smile. Shit works better when you smile 6️⃣. RULE. 2 min before every run. Walk. You feel pain, 🛑🛑🛑 and do this for a minute and then keep going. . #gaithappens #gait #running #walking #retraining .
