Turning

April 13, 2016 by Admin

A basic movement that we learn very early in our lives is turning. As an infant we use it to roll over from our back to our stomach. It is totally reversible. We have to use this move to roll over in bed, back up a car, golf, and many other activities. It is a simple, basic movement that sometimes becomes problematic.

One specific case that comes to mind is difficulty turning around when walking. This is particularly true with Parkinson’s Disease patients. You can see that they will turn as a single block taking many tiny steps to make a complete turn. This is a common source of instability and falls. I have a whole sequence of segmental movements lying on the side to help develop the skill of turning each body part independently of the other.

Why is it important to relax the inner thigh muscles for good posture and movement?

This blog refers to an exercise on my DVD, “Core Movement Integration”. Basic to good posture is to have your pelvis in a neutral position. This means that it is under the least amount of stress and is free to move in any direction. One common reason for the pelvis to be in a strain position is that the muscles of the inner legs are too tight. This pulls the front of the pelvis down and lifts the back of the pelvis up causing the low back muscles to shorten. Another name for these muscles are the adductors. They comprise the groin area. These muscles start at the bottom of the pelvis in the front and insert into the inner thigh bone or femoris.
