Our Ideas
1. The body’s structure, posture and movements depend on the coordinated activity of muscles, including global, local, striated, smooth and cardiac muscles.
2. Muscle activity is regulated by the central nervous system (CNS), relying on input from the motor cortex, and sensory input from the spinal cord and peripheral receptors.
3. If muscles are over or under-active, changes will be observed in posture and movement, possibly resulting in pain or impaired function.
4. We can improve posture and movement, and therefore pain and function, by altering the CNS’ regulation of muscle activity.
