Our muscles, joints, bones and nerves are all connected, an integrated system, or as we like to call it, a Kinetic chain. 🏋️♀️
Let’s take an example:
1️⃣ A problem in one area, like the pec minor muscle, can lead to issues in the scapula and affect posture.
2️⃣ This, in turn, can limit thoracic extension, impacting one's ability to squat.
3️⃣ Consider standing with protracted shoulders and attempting to squat. You'll realize how this posture limits pelvic movement.
4️⃣ Furthermore, it can lead to spinal twisting, causing pelvic dysfunction and possibly leg length discrepancy (LLD).
5️⃣ Compensatory mechanisms like femur internal rotation can result in valgus knees and excessive pronation, overloading the plantar fascia.
