Life is a contact sport. Day in, day out your body takes a beating.
Your muscles. Your bones. Your ego. The whole shebang.
Today we're gonna focus on joints.
And on something called arthrokinetic dysfunction. (Yes I looked up how to spell that before moving on.)
Arthrokinetic dysfunction is a ten cent phrase I throw out there when I'm wearing my glasses and want to sound smart.
It is also an important concept that you should know a little bit about so you can impress your chiropractor next visit, or Wow your friends at your next get together.
I'm actually serious. Stay tuned. I'm gonna show you some magic.
What does Arthrowhateverconjunction even mean? Here's the easy way of describing it:
Jammed joints= global weakness/inflexibility.
You have 360 joints in your body. They are constantly getting jammed. By gravity, by activity, by mistake. Now If those joints get jammed your body slows you down and makes you less flexible. Why? Because your body is designed for the sole purpose of keeping you alive, and when a joint is jammed the body freaks out and slows you down so you don't do anything stupid and get hurt.
And now for the magic trick. That wasn't bullshit. Sit back be amazed, click HERE as I illustrate the concept of jammed joints with Surgeon extraordinaire Pete Weber.
And scene. A round of applause for my lovely assistant Pete.
Ha! I've rewatched this a few times and can't get over how utterly surprised Pete is at the end. Definitely worth a couple rewatches.
So do you think you may have some jammed joints in your body? Here are a few of my favorite joint drills to create:
Hip mobility
Hamstring flexibility
Spinal length
