Anti-Extension The ability to resist lumbar extension and an anterior pelvic tilt in the vast majority of athletic skills is fundamental to performance and injury resilience. ‘Lumbar Neutral’ is a term used to describe a mid-range spinal posture from which the trunk musculature is optimally recruited to generate stiffness. Lumbar spine stiffness is vital for the transmission of forces between the arms and legs and as such is fundamental to performance in almost every sports skill.
The Corrective Theme is the initial phase of a 4-part movement hierarchy.
This Theme contains exercises which promote good movement quality first. Here we expose range of motion deficits & poor coordination that will derail progression & transfer of training. Exercises in the Corrective Theme stimulate reflexive stabilisation in optimal postures at priority joints with dynamic control that will scale to support more complex exercise variations.
