Rub and Scrub Pelvis
| Set | Time |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 mins each side h:m:s |
FLUID DYNAMIC - Intended to be used to move fluid (blood, lymph, water) in order to set the right internal body conditions to optimize tissue behaviors. Use these strategies as part of an effective warm-up, or as part of a structured recovery day.

AHHPS-L1 – Week 2 – Activation copy carla
Welcome to the Program of the Week for Week 2 - Activation!
Ok, this week is all about EXAMPLES of Activation Sequences, which can apply to either a:
A - Work-Out Day (as part of the warm-up), or a
B - Work-In Day (as part of an “In The Gym” structured recovery session.
At this point, it is not important to focus on which quadrants are used and why, rather, focus on the step involved in Activation (i.e. the Sub-Themes).
They are:
1. Fluid Dynamics - setting up the condition within the body for optimal function by addressing blood, lymph, water, and the interstitial fluid
2. Small Motor Unit Recruitment (SMUR) - up-regulating type 1, tonic (stability) based motor units
3. Excitation - teaching the system to up and down regulate motor units (i.e. turn muscles on and off)
4. Stimulation - increasing sensory stimulation with i) oculomotor (eyes), ii) vestibular (ears), and iii) proprioceptors (pressure receptors)
Have Fun and reach out on the discussion forum for any questions and dialogue!
