I love hearing how training sessions go after a session with me.
Working with Tatiana on getting her glutes to activate during heavy squats as her body gets scared when she goes heavy because of previous back pain so her mind goes into overdrive and she over thinks the movement out of fear.
I see this so often in my clinic. Her body is in fight or flight, protection mode which is hindering her from lifting heavier and being able to activate her glutes the way she knows how to, yet her body just won’t allow her to get that efficient mind muscle activation.
By allowing her body to feel more at ease by releasing trapped bone pressure (which is what I do with a painfree/gentle approach) which allows her to get out of fight or flight easier which allows her to then get better muscle activation.
Still work to do with her but I’m excited to see her lifting heavier and with confidence under the bar again soon!
