158. Should We Engage Our Abs in the Down Stretch?
Description
Join Dr. Adam McAtee, PT, DPT, as he breaks down the anatomy & biomechanics of the Down Stretch on the Reformer.
Through this thoughtful discussion, Adam sheds light on the idea of engaging the abdominals during this exercise. Similar to other movement strategies, he makes the case that engaging the abdominals during Down Stretch is neither right nor wrong — each approach simply emphasizes different aspects of human movement.
