Читать книгу Exercises for the Jaw to Shoulder - Release Your Kinetic Chain - Dr. Brian James Abelson DC. - Страница 23

Unfortunately, many exercise programs do not take into account the kinetic chain relationships of your body’s joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues.

Many exercise programs only focus on the area showing symptoms of pain and inflammation, and fail to address the structures that interconnect with these symptomatic areas. Since such programs do not address the entire kinetic chain, they are rarely effective for resolving your injury or problem.

This is why we have combined the exercises for the jaw, neck, and shoulder (and related core exercises) within one book. These three areas can often be thought of as an interwoven series of kinetic links, with each link affecting the function of the next link in the chain.

A soft tissue problem in one of these linked areas can cascade into problems in adjacent areas. It can even affect kinetic links in distant parts of your body such as your core or hips. For example a shoulder problem in a runner affects that runner’s ability to transfer energy from their upper extremity through their core to their lower extremity. When this happens, your shoulder problem actually affects the power of your stride!

It is also important to remember that a lack of obvious symptoms (pain, inflammation) in an area does not mean that those structures have not been affected. They are still involved in performing the action, and still feel the effects of restrictions in your kinetic chain.

This is why the exercise routines in this book focus upon more than just one area. It is essential to address multiple links in your kinetic chain in order to be successful at achieving full resolution of an injury and to reach your full functional potential.
