Scientific Principles to Consider with Use of Flex Disc Three Mechanical Characteristics of Muscle Stretch Reflex, also known as the myotatic reflex, is facilitated by the muscle spindles, which are sensory receptors located between the muscle fibers that detect the length and speed of elongation of the sarcomeres. This sensitivity to stretch protects the muscles from stretch-related injuries largely in rapid stretches. Muscle Spindles are responsible for a very important neuromuscular effect called reciprocal inhibition. This is when the antagonist of a moving muscle group is deactivated to increase movement efficiency. This is also useful when performing mobility activities such as Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF). To optimize programming with the Flex Disc, the biomechanical principles previously discussed are essential concepts for application. Through the program in this manual and workshop, these concepts will be applied and thoroughly explored. R
Scientific Principles to Consider with Use of Flex Disc Myofascial Meridians Myofascia refers to the bundled together, inseparable nature of muscle tissue (myo-) and the complimentary web of connective tissue (fascia). The simplest way to depict these meridians are geometric lines of pull passing from one “station” or muscle attachment to the next. There are eight primary lines following the theory of Thomas Myers in his book Anatomy Trains. These myofasical meridians are: Fig1 The Superficial Back Line Fig2 The Superficial Front Line Fig3 The Lateral Line Fig4 The Spiral Line R
