It’s very likely that I’ll be ruffling some feathers with this one.

“Strength is not a thing. It’s a behavior. It’s an answer that solves a problem that is presented to it that requires an output of force in order to solve the problem. In what tissues do you require strength specifically.“ -Dr. Spina

Your abs are not your core. Are they important? Sure. For the most part, they work with a lot of other muscles to facilitate hip flexion.
-
Societally speaking, they represent fitness. That person is shredded. They have great abs. They must be really fit. That being said, we’ve all heard the phrase “Abs are made in the kitchen”. So what is your core?
-
The intrinsic core is comprised of the pelvic floor, the diaphragm, the transverse abdominis, and the spinal erectors.
-
The anterior rotators. The internal and external obliques facilitate lower thoracic rotation and are the primary rotational muscles of the upper body. The pec minor and the opposite rhomboids facilitate upper thoracic rotation. These are the muscles that tend to pick up the slack when the obliques fail.
-
The rotational muscles on the back side of the body include the glutes, the quadratus lumborum, and the opposite Lat.
-
And finally, we have the lateral subsystem which is comprised of the adductors, the glute med, and the quadratus lumborum on the opposite side. This system keeps the pelvis from dumping to one side or the other.
-
All of these systems work in concert with each other to keep the pelvis stable and generate force while running.

Your glutes are “turned off”. You don’t have “glute amnesia”. Your brain just found a new movement solution.
-
More often than not, your glutes are under active or over active. That doesn’t mean they’re not in the game. It just means they’re not contributing as much as they could be.
-
Compound movements a great and all. But in the sum of the parts, there are only the parts. If the parts don’t work well individually, don’t expect them to work well with other parts.

Are you one of those runners that has dirt on the inside of their lower leg at the end of a run? Do you have pain on the outside of your knee that has been deemed “IT band syndrome”?
-
How about pain on the inside of your knee?
-
The first example is the lower leg swinging back and around. The second is your lower leg swinging out and around.
-
If your practitioner is treating the sight of pain, they’re in the wrong spot.
