Autogenic Inhibition - Golgi Tendon

You will explore autogenic inhibition, driven by Golgi tendon organs, its role in protecting against tendon tears, how trauma can lead to arthrogenic inhibition, gain insights into protective mechanisms, traumatic impact, and neurological solutions.

Autogenic inhibition, driven by Golgi tendon organs, serves as a protective mechanism against over-lifting or excessive tension on tendons. However, when this protective response gets stuck due to trauma, it can lead to arthrogenic inhibition, causing long-term issues like instability, compensations, and muscle atrophy. Recognizing this neurological aspect is essential for effective treatment.

In this segment, we will cover:

  • Protective Mechanism: Explore how Golgi tendon organs act as tension receptors, preventing potential tendon tears by inhibiting muscle contraction during activities like lifting heavy objects.

  • Traumatic Impact: Understand the lasting consequences of traumatic experiences.

  • Neurological Solutions: Discover practical approaches with BPA protocols that help break free from arthrogenic inhibition.

Empower your practice by gaining in-depth insights into the neurological intricacies of knee, back, and shoulder issues. BPA's protocols not only enhance your understanding but also equip you with the means to manage knee injuries more efficiently, ultimately ensuring superior patient care and success for your chiropractic practice.
