How Do I Fix All My Imbalances in My Body?
Do you need to fix your imbalances? DocJen & Dr. Dom discuss muscular imbalances, normalizing asymmetries that are present within our bodies from birth. Discussing gluteal amnesia, leg length discrepancy, cerebral palsy, and breathing conditions, they describe how mind-body connection relates to perpetuating pain and how pain is multifactorial. Then, they describe how you can begin to assess muscle imbalances by evaluating movement tendencies, exploring activations within the body, and addressing movement restrictions.
