Improving Hip Range of Motion: A Chiropractor's Approach

👉 The person in the video has limited range of motion in their hip, which affects their ability to squat.

🔧 The cause of the limited range of motion is likely wear and tear over a long period of time, rather than a specific injury.

💡 Psychoactive substances and rewiring the brain's perception of pain can potentially provide relief from chronic pain, but the effects may be temporary.

🔑 Different biomechanics can affect range of motion.

👍 Testing and identifying chronically tight muscles can improve mobility.

💪 Understanding the cause of limited range of motion is important.

The chiropractor starts by working on small muscles before targeting the larger ones like the glutes and quads.

The quadratus femoris muscle, an external rotator of the hip, is often overlooked and can cause issues that are mistaken for hamstring problems.

Testing between interventions is important to ensure that improvements are made and not reversed.

🧠 Muscles hurt when shortened due to increased nerve firing.

💪 Pushing on overstretched muscles deactivates weak muscles.

📱 Phones are physically shaping our anatomy, causing indentations.

👉 The video discusses the importance of range of motion in the hips and how it affects other muscles.

🏋️‍♂️ The chiropractor assesses the range of motion in the subject's hips and identifies imbalances and areas of improvement.

🍏 The video touches on the concept of naturalness in relation to human movement and the food we consume.

👍 Specialization in society is influenced by money.

💪 Chiropractor adjusts hip for better range of motion.

😬 Reflex testing and adjustments to improve lower back.

🏋️‍♂️ Improving ankle mobility can help with squatting and prevent knee problems.

🦵 The tightness of the medial hamstring and calf muscles can affect squat form and range of motion.

🏋️‍♀️ Factors such as shoe choice and kinetic chains can impact strength and injury risk during workouts.
