Many of us have been at home working and become couch potatoes. In these slides are few ways around the house to keep yourself moving. #movementofthebody #move #movement #movementismedicine #moveyourbody #active #heartnsoul #healthymind #health #healthy #wellnessblogger #wellness #wellbeing #healtheducation (at Ebmyotherapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGii53Uj2RZ/?igshid=5vwwen001cfb

Tuesday time. That means post no. 12 to the movement of the body series. Protraction and retraction (and protrusion and retrusion) Protraction and retraction occur in two major regions of the body – the scapula and the mandible. Protraction refers to protruding or sticking out. Retraction refers to bringing together. Examples of protraction · With the shoulder in 90o of abduction, brings the arms forward as if to hug someone. The scapulae begin to slide laterally and then anteriorly along the thorax, this is protraction Protrusion (similar to protraction) of the jaw allows for anterior movement of the jaw, as if to move it out from the rest of the head Examples of retraction · Returning the scapulae from hugging someone with abducted shoulders in front of us to the resting anatomical position of the scapulae Retrusion (similar to retraction) of the jaw brings the jaw back to its resting anatomical position. #retraction #protraction #movement #movementofthebody #move #humanmechanics #humanbody #biology #biomechanics #kinesiology #healthybody #massage #myotherapy #assessment #understanding #learning #educateyourself #education #healtheducation (at Ebmyotherapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCURPKfDxN3/?igshid=538kz0zx2qu0

Motivated Monday it is. Here is post no. 11 to the movement of the body series Opposition and re-position Opposition and re-position are special movements unique to the human hand. They are movements that allow us fine dexterity to hold objects. Opposition and re-position occur at the thumb and little finger (digits 1 and 5, respectively). They even have their own separate muscles for this movement! Opposition of the thumb and little finger refers to the movement of bringing the pads of the thumb and little finger together in the midline of the hand. Technically, the thumb can be opposed to each of the other fingers on the same hand. Re-position refers to returning the thumb and little (or one of the others!) finger back to resting anatomical position. #opposition #reposition #position #movement #movementofthebody #motivation #mondaymotivation #monday #health #healthylifestyle #healthymindest #massage #myotherapy #humanmechanics #biomechanics #biology #physicaltherapy #education #educateyourself #healtheducation #massagecheltenham #massagementone #massagehampton #myotherapysandringham #myotherapycheltenham #myotherapyhampton #cheltenham #hampton3188 (at Ebmyotherapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCSXky6D_Z7/?igshid=1515daduofel8

Sunday Funday. Here is post no. 10 to the Movement of the body series. Eversion and inversion The second set of movements specific to the foot are eversion and inversion. These movements occur about the sagittal axis and along the coronal plane. Eversion refers to bringing the soles of the feet out, so they are facing away from the midline of the body. Inversion refers to bringing the soles of the feet in, so they are facing towards the midline of the body (and each other). #inversion #eversion #movement #movementofthebody #body #bodymovement #kinesiology #physiology #physicaltherapy #sunday #funday #sundayfunday #health #education #understanding #learning #massage #myotherapy #assessment (at Ebmyotherapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPNkYFjOjB/?igshid=7spzn46qm9tx

It is Weekend time. Happy Saturday. Here is post no. 9 to the movement of the Body series. Re: Re: Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion The foot is a little special and has four movements specific to it. The first two, dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, refer to the way the foot moves about the coronal axis and along the sagittal plane. Dorsiflexion brings the dorsum (back) of the foot back toward the tibia, so the toes are beginning to point towards the sky. This is a position of high ankle stability. Plantarflexion refers to pointing the foot away from the tibia and down into the ground. This is a position of low ankle stability, and most ligamentous ankle sprains occur in a position of plantarflexion. #foot #flexion #movement #movementofthebody #bodymovement #humanbody #health #understanding #learning #education #assessment #kinesiology #physiology #physicaltherapy #massage #myotherapy #weekend #happyweekend (at Ebmyotherapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMzGszDiqX/?igshid=n4uu112xhobf

We begin the morning with good morning and post no. 6 to the movement of the body series. Internal and external rotation (medial and lateral rotation) Rotation refers to movements made about the longitudinal axis and in the transverse plane. Internal rotation is rotating a joint towards the midline; external rotation is rotating a joint away from the midline. Examples of internal rotation With the elbow at 90 degrees of flexion, internally rotating the shoulder brings the forearm and hand toward the body; Rotating the lower limb at the hip joint to point the feet towards each other Examples of external rotation With the elbows at 90 degrees of flexion, externally rotating the shoulder brings the forearm and hand away from the body – like someone has just scared you! Rotating the lower limb at the hip joint to point the feet away from each other. #rotation #internal #external #movement #movementofthebody #body #bodymovement #human #humanbody #humanmechanics #biology #kinesiology #physiology #physicaltherapy #massage #myotherapy #health #education #learning #knowledge #understanding #passion #wellbeing #wellness #fitness (at Ebmyotherapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCE2cvSDNZU/?igshid=10ikmbyc8oyfo

Happy Tuesday. Here is post no. 5 to the movement of the body series. Elevation and depression Elevation refers to lifting, and depression to lowering. These movements only occur in several regions of the body and are a result of movement along the coronal plane. Examples of elevation Elevating the shoulders to shrug Elevating the mandible during mastication to close the mouth Examples of depression Returning the shoulders to resting anatomical position after shrugging Depressing the mandible during mastication or phonation to open the mouth. #tuesday #happytuesday #motivation #movementofthebody #movement #nomoreexcuses #body #bodymovement #biology #biomechanics #biophysical #humanmechanics #humanbody #health #learning #understanding #knowledge #massage #myotherapy #education #healtheducation #cheltenham #mentone #hampton #brighton #sandringham #highett #mordialloc #moorabbin #parkdale (at Ebmyotherapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCR4voDSf2/?igshid=1ss3v8mzdsvey

Here is post no. 3 to the Movement of the body series. Today it is about abduction and adduction. Abduction and adduction Abduction and adduction refer to movements made about a sagittal axis and along the coronal plane. Abduction is moving a body part away from its resting anatomical position in the coronal plane; adduction is returning it to its normal resting position (includes ‘hyperadduction’). Examples of abduction Abducting the shoulder joint to lift the upper limb closer to the ears; Abducting the hip joint to lift move the lower limbs away from each other Examples of adduction Returning the shoulder joint back to resting anatomical position Returning the hip joint back to resting anatomical position (bring the lower limbs together again) #adduction #abduction #movement #movementofthebody #body #bodymovement #human #humanmechanics #humanbody #humanmechanic #biology #biomechanics #biophysical #kinesiology #physicaltherapy #reading #learning #understanding #health #wellbeing #massage #myotherapy #assessment #education #healtheducation #motivation #cheltenham #mentone #highett #parkdale (at Ebmyotherapy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB9Qcb7DhFR/?igshid=19it3abm8860p
