5 Structures of the Pillar
shoulder/scapula
thoracic spine
lumbar spine
pelvis
hips
muscles that connect them all
Pillar Software
nervous system
Mobility Joints
thoracic spine
hips
ankle
Nervous System
- coordinate movement through muscle recruitment
- manage movement based on sensory feedback
- use innate patterns to begin and develop movement (ex:
survival movement)
- habitual movement develops patterns unique to every person's
movement signature
Kinetic Linking
,2
force creation (hips) --> force transfer (trunk to extremities) =
optimal performance and injury prevention
more force = more velocity
hips --> trunk --> shoulders --> arms
Pillar Prep
- based off individual needs
- determined through screening process
Functional Movement Screen
- used to determine mobility, stability, or movement deficits
