Posterior Oblique and Lateral Core Chains



The Posterior Oblique Chain (POC) runs from the gluteaus max, thoracolumbar fascia, contralateral lattisimus dorsi.  The POC main function is to stabilize the SI joint and transfer of energy between the lower and upper extremeties.  On the other hand, the Lateral Chain (LC) contains the gluteus medius/ minimus, TFL, adductor complex and contralateral quadratus lamborum.  The LC main function is frontal plane stability and unilateral stance stability.

Make sure you stretch all the body core chains!

Stay tune for part 3 which is going to be on the Deep Longitudinal Chain.  I'm out......
