Myokinematic Restoration – Madison Heights, MI

It was a big weekend in the state of Michigan, yes they had two teams dancing in the sweet sixteen, but more significantly Myokinematic Restoration came to town. Hosted by Team Rehabilitation in Madison Heights, we broke down our body’s inherent asymmetry and studied game film.

Many basketball teams show tendencies, whether it’s to rely on the three point shot or to attack one side of the court more often than the other. Our human “court” is tilted to the right and we need a plan to level the court and attack the left side of the hoop. As a basketball team it’s best to have options and be able to swing the ball well to either side, as a human, it’s ideal to maintain our ability to oscillate between both sides.

A full court press was employed on the dominant L AIC pattern and a game plan was developed to counter its influence. Repositioning, retraining, and restoring alternation gave our Cinderella team, the R AIC pattern, a chance to join the big dance!

A big thank you to the folks at Team Rehabilitation, they were well represented in the audience and ensured we had everything needed for a successful two days. Thank you to the entire group for giving me a chance to “coach” up your clinical game plans.
