We are big fans of challenging our muscles through Pilates, weight training or any other activity you like that builds strength, flexibility and resilience. Whatever activity you choose, do it from an informed and functional place to get the best results and reduce risk of injury. This video demonstrates the concept of Reciprocal Inhibition. We use the example of abdominal curls, however the principle applies to all movement.Reciprocal Inhibition:Reciprocal Inhibition means that opposing muscles do opposite things - example, when your bicep contracts, your tricep muscle should let go. When doing Arch & Flatten, the abdominals contract during flatten while the back muscles lengthen.But if SMA is interrupting this process then muscle function is interrupted.Links to the practices we recommend to re-educate your muscles and improve reciprocal inhibition in your body.Diagonal Arch & Curlhttps://digital.resolvepainguru.com/programs/diagonal-arch-curl-i-4-variations-88a8d4Flowering Arch & Curlhttps://digital.resolvepainguru.com/programs/flowering-arch-and-curl-practice
