To locate this powerful muscle, imagine peeling your body like an onion. The first layer is the skin; next come the abdominal muscles in front and the massive muscles of the sides and back. One layer deeper lie the intestines and another layer of back muscles. Continue peeling each layer u...
I really related to the Moro reflex and the psoas muscle and how each asana could help to release some of the tension caused by consistent stress and anxiety. Tama took us through many postures that focused on hips/sacral plexus, spine and pectoral/shoulder girdle. Thank you again for a gr...

The specific function of muscles, of course, is movement that is produced by muscle fibers, bundles of specialized cells that change shape by contracting or relaxing. Muscle groups operate in concert, alternately contracting and stretching in precise, coordinated sequences to produce the wide range ...
As changing running step rate can affect biomechanics, and therefore tissue loads, a secondary aim of this review was to synthesise the evidence relating to the effects of altering running step rate on spatiotem- poral, kinetic, kinematic, muscle function, and impact- related parameters. A n...
This muscle imbalance involvesreciprocal inhibition, a process in which muscles on one side of a joint have to relax so they can accommodate muscle contraction on the other side. The same thing happens in the lumbar area. When the spinal erectors are overactive, they exaggerate the lumbar curv...
Or, even if you have an obviously severe muscle tear from trying to lift your car or something, you can safely start here — rest and read. Your back is not as fragile as you probably think, and understanding why is a great starting place for healing in nearly all cases of low back ...
