Summary
You’re feeling pain. That means that the place where you feel the pain is the problem, right? Actually, no! In today’s episode, Rachael and Kelsea discuss muscle imbalances. You may be surprised to learn that your pain is likely to be coming from a different set of muscles than where you think it’s coming from.
Confused? Today’s episode will help you make sense of it. Listen in to learn about how muscles work in groups, where muscle imbalances may occur, and what to do when you find out which group of muscles you’re overcompensating with.
Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:
- What leads up to an injury
- When the root cause may be different than the pain signal
- How muscles work in groups instead of singularly
- Why you don’t just work the injured or painful areas
- Knowing your Achille’s heel
- Muscle imbalances between the lower back and hip flexors
- Muscle imbalances in your legs
- What to do when you figure out which muscle group you’re overcompensating with
- The importance of warming up muscle groups
- Common imbalances and corrective exercises
