mobilização vs estabilização lombar


  1. NOTA: publicado pela Carmén
    Algo más para seguir pensando en la zona lumbar: movilización vs. estabilización, o ¿cómo encontrar el equilibrio entre movilización y estabilización:
    Your athletes, clients and patients must learn to move from the hips, not from the lumbar spine. Most people with lower back pain or hamstring strains have poor hip or lumbo-pelvic mechanics and as a result must extend or flex the lumbar spine to make up for movement unavailable through the hip.
    The lumbar spine is even more interesting. This is clearly a series of joints in need of stability, as evidenced by all the research in the area of core stability. The biggest mistake we have made in training over the last 10 years is an active attempt to increase the static and active range of motion of an area that requires stability.
    Most, if not all, of the many rotary exercises done for the lumbar spine were misdirected. Physical therapist Shirley Sahrmann in Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes and James Porterfield and Carl DeRosa in Mechanical Low Back Pain: Perspectives in Functional Anatomy all indicate attempting to increase lumbar spine range of motion is not recommended and is potentially dangerous. Our lack of understanding of thoracic mobility caused us to try to gain lumbar rotary range of motion, and this was a huge mistake.
    The thoracic spine is the area about which we know the least. Many physical therapists recommend increasing thoracic mobility, though few have exercises designed specifically for it. The approach seems to be ìWe know you need it, but we’re not sure how to get it.î Over the next few years, we will see an increase in exercises designed to increase thoracic mobility. A leader in the field, Sahrmann was early to advocate the development of thoracic mobility and the limitation of lumbar mobility. http://graycookmovement.com/?p=118

  1. Este parece-me um ponto de vista extremamente importante ser considerado dado que nós, em Pilates, trabalhamos muito centrados justamente nesta relação: mobilização versus estabilização do complexo lombar-bacia. Como temos gente que é muito instável nesta região e gente que é muito rígida nesta região, precisamos saber fazer leituras apropriadas dos corpos. No caso de ter havido um quadro de lesão, a normal resposta do corpo vai ser a de restringir o movimento. A nossa abordagem vai ter que ser no sentido de reganhar a mobilidade perdida sem, no entanto, deixar a zona novamente instável e suscetível de novas lesões. É um jogo, é uma arte que se vai desenvolvendo com o tempo de prática, de muita prática. E com muito estudo, com certeza!
