WEBINAR PROGRAM

Focusing on the origins and treatment of Knee Pain. Take your Motor Point understanding and treatment of knee pain with Rich and Dan to the next level.  If you have ever tried to treat stubborn knee pain that won’t budge with treatment or comes back, if you have ever suspected weakness, inhibition of certain muscles but want to review or learn how to test for muscle tightness or weaknesses that would contribute to the knee pain, then this is a MUST SEE WEBINAR!

Introduction to the compensation patterns in the three planes (Knee Pain)

• Sagittal
• Frontal
• Transverse

Postural stabilization is done at the subconscious level.
Develop a deeper understanding of compensatory movement adaptation in the different planes which contribute to Knee Pain.

Compensation in the sagittal plane
Gluteal amnesia and quad dominance
Loss of ankle dorsiflexion
Weak glutes, tight hip flexors, overactive rectus femoris, weak vastus medialis tight lateralis, tight calves, weak psoas, tight sartorius

Compensation in the frontal plane
Lateral stabilization subsystem
IT band syndrome weak glute med with overactive TFL glute min (all weak)Valgus knee – tight adductors, weak ankle stabilization weak abductors

Compensation in the transverse plane
Posterior sling weak glutes tight lats
Anterior sling weak abs, tight adductors
