Study Guide - Week 8
Warm-Up & Positional Drills
Name:
1. If the goal is to restore symmetry & remove layers of compensation, what are the
primary muscles you want to target at the pelvis for the left and right side (respectively)
in a right lateralized pattern?
Left: Obliques, hamstrings (medial), adductor, anterior glute med – usually in that order
Right: Glute max, posterior glute med, psoas
2. How many exercises should you give a client as “homework” to do at home on their
own?
2-3, not exceeding 3.
3. What would be the steps you took if someone got a great change with the session they
did with you, but they consistently revert back to where they were once they come in for
the next session? They are doing their drills correctly, get enough of a daily step count,
and do get enough adequate sleep without snoring.
Likely a foot issues, and if it’s not that, it’s likely a neck or above issue
