The APX Physiology Podcast

APX Treatments Therapist Will Bosson and I discuss Will's recent literature review on the effectiveness of HVT's on improving proprioception. Will informs me what the latest research is saying, how proprioception is measured and it's clinical significance for practitioners.

Is hip hinging bad for your kidneys?

***

This is my hypothesis question in my latest episode. The more I learn about the body, the more I learn about some fascinating correlations. These are things such as the relationships between fascia, organs and muscles as well as which muscles become inhibited when organs are under strain.

Hip hinging as a stand alone movement is obviously not bad for your kidneys. However the myofascial adaptations that accompany being able to hinge more than 4 plates a side does bare ramifications on our internal anatomy. If you start to get symptoms of kidney dysfunction, there could be a correlation there.

In this episode I also delve deep into the functional anatomy of the Psoas muscle. I explain why it’s function is so misunderstood and why it’s so important to hinging mechanics.

Finally I finish (somewhat randomly) with a 15 minute explanation of how to use a financial system which will make you a lot more money in 2023. As it’s the first show of the year I thought it’d be good to see who uses the method all year and what a difference it makes.

I loved recording this one. So if you want to learn more about pelvic mechanics, how to make more money and which acupressure points link to sexual performance, make sure you give this one a listen.

I'm joined by Deca-Ironman, Strongman and ex professional footballer Dan Reeve on the show to discuss hybrid training methods and how to integrate endurance work into your weigh training regime.

I discuss the functional anatomy of the Tibialis Anterior and how it can be applied to training.
***
I also explain the stomach line meridian from TCM, how this links to the Tibialis muscle and what you can do to improve it.
