Description
All rotational athletes use the kinetic chain to transfer energy from the lower extremities, through the pelvis, spine, and upper extremity to generate power, but if there’s any breakdown in the kinetic chain – the risk of injury goes up. Broaden your understanding of the biomechanics and kinetic chain components necessary for rotational athletes as you assess common injuries and intervention to support the dysfunction. Optimize the sequential activation pattern in rotational athletes to enhance mobilization, stability, and neuromotor control to achieve peak performance.
