Chapter 64: Back Release (Psoas Quadratus)
"Sister Su, where is it, serving members is what should be done. ”
Ji Ke stood up, took Yan Qiang and Su Rou into the private training area, and called Li Jiang over on the way.
"Jiang Jiang, I'll do a lower back release for Brother Yan first, and you can take Sister Su to do some simple leg slimming and hip lifting movements on the side. ”
Private lessons are one-on-one, but in many cases, the personal trainer member does not come alone, he will bring his relatives and friends to observe, and at this time, you can't be stupid and let the person brought by the member stand by and watch.
The best solution is to call a coach and lead that person to do some difficult and easy and interesting movements, on the one hand, not to make the person feel bored, and then pull the personal trainer member out of the gym, on the other hand, to increase the person's interest in personal lessons, and make a good start for the next step of selling classes.
"Okay," Li Jiang stretched out his hand simply, neatly, "Sister Su, I'll take you to a trial class for a while, and simply feel the private lesson!"
Li Jiang's professional ability should not be underestimated, whether it is speech, speech and demeanor, after the training of Huaishen College and the personal teaching of Ji Ke, his level is quite strong, ranking among the top five in the first team of private trainers.
"Come, Brother Yan, lie down, face down, prone position. Ji Ke pulled out a yoga mat and asked Yan Qiang to climb face down to adjust the details.
Lie flat on your neck instead of your chin on your head;
Place your arms naturally at your sides, so that the shoulder blades and rotator cuff muscles in your shoulders are in the most relaxed state;
Adjust the pelvis so that it is vertically grounded to prevent the impact of forward and backward tilting on the lower back muscles.
After adjusting the position of the body, Ji Ke began to press Yan Qiang's back with his heel and thumb.
Twenty-four vertebrae are divided into five parts: neck, thorax, waist, sacrum, and tail.
The sacrum and coccyx are like a barb, attached to the back of the pelvis, and the range of motion is narrow;
The main function of the lumbar spine is to bear weight, conduct weight, and its stability is greater than its flexibility;
The thoracic vertebrae, because of its longest length (12 of the 24 vertebrae) and its involvement include the shoulder blades, shoulder mobility, ribs, and lung breathing, in the theory of joints, its flexibility is greater than its stability;
The cervical spine is special, the part next to the thoracic vertebrae, because it is also connected to the clavicle, the stability demand of this part is higher than flexibility, and the part near the head, because it needs to support the left and right rotation of the head, the flexibility demand is greater than stability.
"Brother Yan, this part of your waist may hurt, you bear with it a little. Ji Ke used his palm to follow the position of Yan Qiang's lumbar quadratus muscle rhythmically from the bottom to the top, pushing it in the direction of its start and end.
The quadratus lumbar muscle is roughly located below the twelfth rib cage of the person, posterior to the iliac crest of the pelvis, and at the same time connected to the transverse processes of the first to fourth lumbar vertebrae. But from its position, it can be seen that the quadratus lumbar muscle is a muscle that focuses on the movement of the lower back, and generally speaking, people with low back pain, pushing the position of the quadratus lumbar muscle can play a significant role in relieving pain.
"Oops, light, it hurts!" Ji Ke used a little heavier force, and the speed of pushing was a little slower, so that the force could better penetrate into the position of the quadratus lumbar muscle.
From the outer back of the psoas quadratus muscle, it is covered by the transverse abdominis muscle, the internal oblique abdominis muscle, the erector spinae, and the latissimus dorsi muscle to varying degrees.
"It's okay, it's okay for a while, bear with it!" Ji Ke condensed in a deep voice, not daring to relax in the slightest, lest his strength be scattered.
Professional muscle release, that is definitely a comprehensive test of professionalism and strength; professional is not good, it is impossible to accurately judge the starting and ending position of the muscles, which muscles are blocking near the target muscles; without strength, it is impossible to effectively release the target muscles.
In the process of relaxation, the member's feelings should also be referenced, after all, the member is not a machine, you can let the coach press and push unscrupulously; if the strength is light, he will feel that your skills are not good, and question your level; if the strength is heavy, he will also feel that you have not served well, and refuse to let you serve next time.
The coach must measure the member's feeling and the effect of the release, which is not only to make the member enjoy pleasantly, but also to let the member experience the changes brought about by muscle release.
"Qiangzi, does it hurt so much?" Su Rou did a simple buttock lifting action on the side, while teasing her husband, "You won't put up with it for a while?"
"You said it lightly, you try it?!" Yan Qiang was so sweaty that his face was covered with pain, and he didn't dare to raise his head, and retorted to his daughter-in-law on the yoga mat, "If you are cut, it will be better, that is, it hurts, but this massage is not over at once, it hurts me, brother, you lighten!"
"It's okay, Brother Yan, it's the first time you've loosened your psoas quadratus, so it will hurt a lot," Ji Ke explained unhurriedly, he had seen a lot of this situation, so it was not strange,
"No matter who you are, as long as it is the first time to loosen the deep muscles, it will hurt so much! In addition, if you usually exercise more, the tension of the lumbar quadratus muscles is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and it is normal to hurt a little. ”
Long-term tension, the muscles that have never been released, the first release is like the first time of the big girl, the pain is unbearable, sweating on the forehead will definitely appear, and the endurance is a little worse will even writhe directly to break free, and then never want to loosen the muscles again.
Yan Qiang, a person who shouts pain on his lips, but in addition to sweating on his forehead, his body still maintains stability, his endurance is absolutely first-class, and he is worthy of being a soldier!
"How do you feel?" Ji Ke pushed and pressed a few times, and then used his internal strength to carry out the final guidance, and then stopped to ask Yan Qiang how he felt, "You stand up and feel the difference between the two sides." ”
Yan Qiang just felt that for the last time, a stream of heat came out from Ji Ke's palm, and the place where he passed was very comfortable, and when he heard Ji Ke let himself stand up, he quickly stood up.
"It's a little different, the place you pushed on the left is much easier, and the pain is a lot lighter. Yan Qiang stood and felt it carefully, and then gestured a few times with his hand, "Hey, look, the waists on both sides of me are one high and the other is low!"
Hearing this, Ji Ke walked over, took out a tape measure, straightened it, and carefully compared Yan Qiang's anterior superior iliac spine (the bone on the outside of the groin on the body surface).
"It's really high on one side and low on the other, and the left side is about half a centimeter lower than the right. Ji Ke put away the tape measure, "Okay, Brother Yan, this is just the beginning, face up, lying on the mat in a supine position." It's time for me to loosen your iliopsoas. ”
"Iliopsoas, which was just now?" Yan Qiang lay down and asked curiously, he suddenly realized now how worthwhile it was to have an excellent personal trainer serve him!
You only need to put forward your needs, pay for them, and then you don't have to worry about anything, just follow the coach. If there is no pain in the process, it will be even more refreshing!
"Just now the psoas quadratus, the iliopsoas muscle is closer to the body than the psoas quadratus muscle, to be precise, from the back, the iliopsoas muscle is below the psoas quadratus muscle. However, the iliopsoas muscle is a general term for two muscles, one is the psoas major muscle, and the other is the iliac muscle, although these two starting points are different, but they both stop at the lesser trochanteric of the femur, and the two muscles function the same, more like a muscle with two starting points and a stopping point, so it is called the iliopsoas muscle. ”
