Train The Brain Not The Pain

Today we discuss posture and headaches. We will go into research articles and discuss the O-A joints along with Dowager's Hump and osteophytes that can occur in the cervical spine. As always you can check out our blog page here: https://www.betterbodydynamics.com/blog/Check out our FB page https://www.facebook.com/Betterbodydynamics/Check out our youtube videos:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0ahfbUrg1Bqazh1KAbpNiwLink to the research article:https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2019/12/23/bjsports-2019-100567

The primary function of these muscles is to resist hip flexion during stance phase. We will also go into how a lot of times the sciatic nerve can be mis diagnosed with these hamstring dysfunctions.
