"Pain attenuated movements patterns may lead to protective movement and fear of movement, resulting in clinically observed impairments such as decreased ROM, muscle length changes, declines in strength, and ultimately, contribute to the resultant disability."
-Cook and Kiesel 2006
Reinforcement of some of the concepts of Z-Health principles. Pain disturbs muscular function. In the presence of pain, nueromuscularly sequence firing is off. It doesn't matter if bad movement causes the pain or pain causes bad movement. Pain should be referred out.
I also need to review some FMS movements tomorrow and reconsider using it a bit more.
protective movement and fear of movement? yikes!
