45m - Apr 29, 2024 - Trevor, The Internet Troll
In this podcast episode, Trevor is joined by podcast producer and editor, Cassidy Chavez. Trevor talks to us about several movement principles he sees in his profession and shares his critiques with Cassidy who works as a pilates instructor. Trevor Field MPT answers the following questions:
- Does muscle activation = muscle strengthening? Researchers widely agree the major muscle stimulus for muscle strengthening is mechanical load, NOT activation. (but you can't activate an inhibited muscle, Right?)
- Posture? Does it cause LOW BACK PAIN? Does it matter does it correlate with muscle flexibility and strength
- Do posture devices actually help?
- Does having a neutral pelvis matter?
- Why stressed-out people cant grow their glute
- And so much more...
