CARs to Retrain body Maps
CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations) act as a physical tool for cognitive rewiring, giving patients the confidence and capability to move freely and safely while fostering a deeper understanding of how their body moves in space. This expanded "workspace" of movement lays the foundation for improved mobility, strength, and resilience—making CARs an essential practice for anyone looking to maintain or enhance joint health and functional capacity.
Range of Motion Compendium
The Range of Motion Compendium explores the relationship between range of motion (ROM) and functional mobility, emphasizing the importance of passive range of motion (PROM) and the length-tension relationship in achieving optimal movement strategies. The article highlights the transition from passive to active range of motion (AROM) and the significance of connective tissue architecture in understanding musculoskeletal organization. Additionally, it introduces the concept of bioflow, challenging traditional views of movement and ROM by emphasizing the interconnectedness of body tissues in force transmission. The neurophysiological component of range of motion is also briefly mentioned, providing a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing human movement and performance.
