Episode notes
RPR Ear Rub Activates Glute
- Cal Dietz shared a story about overcoming a difficult glute activation issue using RPR techniques.
- Surprisingly, rubbing behind a person's ears helped trigger the glute contraction when other interventions failed.
Hardwired Hip Extension Patterns
- The first hip extension pattern is hardwired from neonatal development and links to areas behind the ear and skull.
- These meridian and fascial connections explain why stimulation there can activate glute muscles remotely.
Use Toe Reflex for Glute Activation
- If glutes do not activate, use the toe reflex by squeezing your big toe during any push or pull exercise.
- Walking while pressing your big toe into the ground helps naturally engage glutes and improve hip stability.
