Q

Why is the knee bent at a right ankle during the hamstring procedure?

A

If it is less than 90<span>o</span> the client is able to contract the hamstrings and if pressure is applied this could be painful. By putting the knee int flexion, the muscle grouping is effectivly switched off and work can be done in this area safely.

23
Q

Which Procedure has the 28 day rule and why? Any time when it an be done more?

A

Shoulder Prcedure.

The general rule of learning a physical movement is that it will take approx 3 weeks of repetative activity for the brain to start to accept a new pattern. This applies for both positive as well as negative change.

In order for the shoulder work to be absorbed and accept the new functional model, as well as to avoid inflaming a very suseptable area, the shoulder is only performed twice in 2 weeks and then is allowed time to take on the change.

The only time the work can be repeated is in the case or re-injury.
