OCTOBER 2024
In October we all do fall clean up and prepare for the winter. We rake leaves, put away patio furniture, garden clean up, split and/or pile wood, and etc. It is a good time to remember to get a Massage Therapy treatment. Happy Fall !!!!!

PSOAS

Origin:
Transverse processes of T12–L4 and the lateral aspects of the discs between them Insertion:
In the lesser trochanter of the femur Artery:
lumbar branch of iliolumbar artery
Nerve:
Lumbar plexus via anterior branches of L1–L3 nerves
Actions:
Flexion in the hip joint

Tightness of the psoas can result in spasms or lower-back pain by compressing the lumbar discs. A hypertonic and inflamed psoas can lead to irritation and entrapment of the ilioinguinal and the iliohypogastric nerves, resulting in a sensation of heat or water running down the front of the thigh.

September 2024

September is the unofficial end of the summer and most are changing from their summer routines whether its kids getting back to school, starting fall yardwork, etc. Life can get distracting but don’t forget to take care of yourself. Have a great September!!!!

Muscle Highlight

Transverse Abdominus(TVA):

Origin:
-Lateral third of inguinal ligament and associated iliac fascia,
-Anterior two-third of the iliac crest,
-Thoracolumbar fascia
-Inner surface of lower six costal cartilage and their ribs(7-12)

Inserts
-Linea alba
-Aponeurosis of internal abdominal oblique muscle
-P***c crest
-Pectinal line of p***s.

Function
This important muscle is responsible for maintaining proper placement of the abdom­inal contents as well as helping support the lower back.

With the other abdominal muscles, TrA helps to:
Maintain abdominal tension and support abdominal viscera
Increase intraabdominal pressure that is helpful in forceful expiration, coughing, defecation.
Support lumbopelvic during our movement, in concert with other core muscles[3].

Unilateral action: ipsilateral trunk rotation

NeuroKinetic Therapy Significance
The TVA is a important intrinsic core muscle that helps stabilize and protect the Lumbar Spine (L/S) during movement. When neurologically inhibited the L/S becomes unsupported and susceptible to injury. Other structures (muscles, joints, ligaments) also compensate and overwork. Overworked structures can lead to tightness, restriction, decreased function, myofascial trigger points, compressed nerves and more).

NEW course completed !!!!
NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) Level 2

NeuroKinetic Therapy® can be the missing link- If you are struggling with pain, can’t break through a plateau, have muscle tension that won’t release, keep getting the same injury, consider that your motor control / movement patterns might be holding you back.

NKT is an application of Motor Control Theory, neuroscience, and functional anatomy (neurobiomechanics) that will help unravel the cause of faulty movement patterns in the brain’s Motor Control Center (MCC).

The MCC of the brain controls movement. Due to many reason (ex. Injury, scars, posture, biomechanics, etc) a Faulty Movement Pattern can develop where the MCC is activating the incorrect muscle, creating muscle imbalances with inhibited and compensating muscles.

NKT® identifies muscle imbalances by using unique protocols to determine what muscles are inhibited and what muscles are compensating for them, thereby allowing specific treatment and corrective exercise techniques to restore proper movement patterns and reprogram the motor control center.
