At Meta Mvmt we believe that muscles ought to engage when you move, however, for most of us our movements are not fully linked up to our nervous system and this creates poor neuromuscular movement patterns and posture.
When you walk your counter balance muscles help keep your body upright to maintain your gait cycle. If a counter balance muscle doesn’t engage when it’s called upon, then it can distort the whole structural system thus putting more compression, pressure and tensional forces in areas of the body that aren’t designed to handle that stress.
Meta Mvmt uses a Functional Movement Screening from Craig Leibenson, to access your poor movement patterns and postural misalignments. When your movements have support from our muscles, then our performance increases, load distribution is spread well and our counter balance and tensigrity system can work more efficiently.
We use basic exercises to see if you have the correct muscle firing order, like the in the Pelvic-Up exercise. In this exercise many people feel it in their back or hamstring, this is a sign of poor muscle firing.
The Pelvic-Up, is a great exercise that mimicks gait and hip extension. Gluteus maximus is the primary muscle for hip extension. So the question is, does your gluteus muscle actually activate in a Pelvic-Up? What percentage? Both sides? Often times a pelvic imbalance can create a muscular imbalance and may create further dysfucntion during any movement while standing, sitting and walking.
Do you know where your pelvis is? Probably not and that’s why we need postural assessments from skilled individuals.
We combine many philosophies together to find balance vertically, horizontally and diagonally to ensure good balance, counter balance and functional sensory motor integration which creates neuromuscular efficiency.
