Reciprocal Inhibition

You will learn the fundamental concept of reciprocal inhibition, its role in smooth motion, practical applications in addressing common issues, enabling you to provide a holistic approach for effective solutions and improved patient care.

Reciprocal inhibition is a cornerstone in addressing neurological aspects of injuries. It's crucial to comprehend how the antagonist muscle turns off when an agonist muscle contracts. This simple, yet profound, neurological principle impacts every movement in the body.

In this video, we revisit the fundamental concept of reciprocal inhibition – a term we encountered in chiropractic school but may not have looked into since. Understanding this is vital for undoing the neural and metabolic aspects of injuries in the body, particularly in areas like the lower back, knees, and shoulders. We will cover topics like:

• Neurological Basics: Revisit the essence of reciprocal inhibition and its role in smooth, controlled motion.

• Practical Applications: Explore how understanding reciprocal inhibition is key to addressing common issues affecting the healing process.

• Tools for Intervention: Discover practical tools that simultaneously stimulate agonist and antagonist muscles, aiding in resetting neural pathways.

This knowledge will help you understand this concept and provide a holistic approach essential for offering effective solutions and improved patient care.
