Lumbopelvic firing order: lower crossed syndrome

4/17/2018

Picture
Each person has a specific built-in muscle firing order that allows for smooth movements during the walking cycle. Complex firing orders to and from the brain and spinal cord must direct every move with precise neurological instructions to keep muscles from firing in a jerky, chaotic manner. 

​The ideal firing order sequence is:


  1. Hamstrings
  2. Gluteus Maximus
  3. Contralateral Erector Spinae
  4.  Ipsilateral Erector Spinae

Unfortunately the pattern usually begins with firing of the:

  1. Hamstrings
  2. Erectors
  3. Gluteus firing late
The solution is found in structures like the Psoas. As long as the psoas is tight and overpowering the Gluteus Maximus, the glutes will continue to weaken. Once the psoas is released, reciprocal inhibition will help strengthen the gluteus.
