CHAPTER

Strategies for Managing Abdominal Bulging and Hip Rotation Limitations

This chapter covers topics such as factors contributing to a pooch belly, strategies to push abdominal contents back, reasons for limitation in hip internal rotation, and techniques to address this limitation. It also explores how biomechanics and movement patterns can be impacted by asymmetrical presentations, emphasizing strategies like unweighting a leg for improved weight distribution and techniques such as elevating a foot on a box to modify forces for better force production and movement. The discussion also includes strategies for addressing hip pinch, shifting in movement patterns, and creating body shape change through 'the stack' method to optimize breathing and movement patterns.
