In this podcast episode, I delve deeper into the lessons learned during my personal journey of back surgery and recovery. Building on the insights shared in the previous episodes, I focus on the crucial concept of reflexive core stability.
I begin by highlighting the misconception that reflexive core control is solely associated with specific exercises, such as chops and lifts. Instead, I shed light on the role of reflexive stability and the fascinating ways our bodies instinctively activate core control.
Delving into the definition of stability, as outlined by Punjabi, I explore the factors that contribute to stiffness within the musculoskeletal and fascial systems. I discuss the role of neurological stiffness, particularly its connection to hypermobility and the body's protective response. By understanding the purpose of neurological stiffness, we can approach it with caution, avoiding attempts to break it without addressing the underlying causes.
Moving on, I discuss two other forms of stiffness: muscular stiffness and physiological stiffness. Muscular stiffness stems from conscious muscle contractions, such as bracing, while physiological stiffness arises from hypertrophy and the pressure-container effect within the fascia. I highlight the significance of hypertrophied muscles in creating stiffness and the relationship between load, strength, and reflexive stiffness.
I further explore the hydraulic amplifier effect, which occurs through intra-abdominal pressure and dynamic alignment of fascial containers. Understanding weight shifts and their impact on maintaining dynamic alignment becomes crucial in harnessing the hydraulic amplifier effect. By incorporating active sensory systems, such as active head and neck movements, active hands, and an awareness of three-dimensional breath, we can tap into reflexive stiffness and optimal core stability.
Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of finding the right balance of load and resistance in order to connect with and optimize reflexive stiffness. Drawing from my personal experience, I challenge the fear of lifting heavy weights, as it can be instrumental in activating the stabilizers and achieving reflexive core control.
Join me on this enlightening episode as we unravel the secrets of reflexive core stability and uncover the transformative power of understanding and harnessing our body's innate abilities for optimal movement and spinal health.
