Lower Kinetic Chain

Kinetic Chain Assessment

By improving posture and aligning the kinetic chain, "white noise" throughout the body can be reduced and equilibrium can be established with the central nervous system. It all begins at the feet! For years, clinicians have been using orthotics for the correction of such conditions as structural misalignment, poor posture, myospasm, shock absorption, extremity pains, short leg syndrome, Achilles tendonitis, and plantar fascitis. Since there is also a relationship between the spine and pelvis, the pelvis and legs, the pelvis and the cervical/dorsal spine, and the legs and the feet, starting at the bottom is the most sensible way to proceed. Analysis of a patient's gait is integral to analyzing which mechanisma, joints, and muscle imblanaces may be present. In my practice, any bimechanical issue below the umbilicus, we check the function of the lower kinetic chain.  To reduce neurologlical infterference, Repetitive Stress & Overuse injuries, myofascial spasm, proper spinal biomechanics must be in order.
