September Pilates Theme: The Posterior Oblique System (POS)

The Posterior Oblique Subsystem (POS) is a functional muscle group that plays a crucial role in stabilizing the spine, sacroiliac joint (SIJ), and hips, while also facilitating force transfer between the lower and upper extremities. It's a key component of movement, particularly in activities like walking, running, and rotational movements.

September Pilates Theme: The Anterior Oblique System (AOS)
The AOS connects the lateral abdominal muscles (obliques) to the adductor muscles on the opposite side of the body through a fascial connection. Exercises that involve contralateral movements (opposite arm and leg, or rotation from one side to the other) are key to activating and strengthening this system.

Hello, September!
September Pilates Theme: ROTATION
Anterior Oblique Subsystem (AOS)
Posterior Oblique Subsystem (POS)

The Anterior Oblique Subsystem (AOS) connects the external obliques, abdominal fascia, and adductors to create stability for pushing and rotation.

The Posterior Oblique Subsystem (POS) connects the latissimus dorsi, thoracolumbar fascia, and gluteus maximus to create stability for pulling and rotation.

When both systems are working to transfer force diagonally between the upper and lower body will stabilize the lumbo-pelvic complex during activities like walking, running, throwing, racquet sports, golf ... and of course PILATES!
