The Importance of Hamstrings!In our most recent staff meeting, we reviewed an article that was published in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy in February 2010. The title of the article is ”The Architectural Design of the Gluteal Muscle Group: Implications for Movement and Rehabilitation”. This is a great article that discusses the architecture of the hip muscles and what muscles are actually firing during specific movements. The area that caught our eye was on the “squatting motion”. This study clearly reveals that the two muscle groups that are most active during squat activity is the adductors and hamstrings! We can’t emphasize enough the importance of hamstring control during proper heel rise, especially when working with contralateral glute activity. Check this article out HERE!
