I am fascinated that the rehab, health and fitness industries still demonise certain muscles and glorify others.

Fundamentally, all of your muscles have a role to play. Some are made for power, others for fine tuning, proprioception or force transmission. They each have roles that they are perfectly designed to fulfil.

If something is grumpy, and something else seems lazy, mostly it comes down to how you are using yourself. That means movement. Mindful movement, connected movement, coordinated, efficient, just-the-right-amount-for-the-job movement.

Don't just exercise hard: move beautifully!

Amazing day hearing the most up to date research on Concussion. Know who is more at risk, know which events to look out for, remove player promptly, know the different systems involved in concussion so as to tailor the correct rehab program. What it is never is Rest, Active Rehab is really important. Thanks to UPMC My UCD for putting it together.
