Why is this simple action while driving potentially harmful to your health? When your feet are in external rotation (toes pointed outward) it effects the psoas muscles at the base of your lumbar spine. In simple terms, the psoas muscle fibres become deflected or mal-aligned which affects the overall strength, stability and nerve signal to the muscles. As a result compensation patterns can develop throughout the whole kinetic muscular chain.
Habits are deeply ingrained over time. We are often unaware of how our daily actions can lead to repetitive strain and injury. There are many common actions that most of us do countless times a day that can lead to gradual onset injuries with symptoms ranging from mild aches to extreme pain. When patients come for STAMINA Rehabilitation Therapy, not only are their muscles rehabilitated to improve strength and function but emphasis is placed on comprehensive Patient Education and Ergonomic Assessment to alleviate aggravating factors that can be at the root cause of their problem(s) or condition. This is essential to positive treatment outcomes and long term results.
