Kinetic Chain Flashcards
1
Q
5 kinetic chain checkpoints
A
- Feet/ankles
- Knees
- Lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (LPHC)
- Shoulders
- Head/cervical spine
2
Q
Ground up approach / proximal approach
A
Concept of fixing issues with the foot before the knee, or issues closer to the core before distal issues.
Oftentimes the source of pain and/or imbalance comes from further upstream or downstream in the kinetic chain.
