Ten principles - -Awareness, Balance, Control, Efficiency, Precision,
Breath, Concentration, Center, Flow, Harmony
-Benefits of working in neutral position - -Encourages balanced
muscular development of pelvic complex, and correct muscle
recruitment.
Using neutral spine position teaches efficient posture and lateral
alignment.
-Neutral Pelvis - -The position of the pelvis when the anterior superior
iliac spine (ASIS) on each side of the pelvis and pubic symphysis (PS),
are in the same horizontal plane (coronal plane when erect) and the two
ASIS are in the same transverse plane.
-Finding Neutral Pelvis - -When lying supine, the triangle formed by
ASIS and PS landmarks should be in same horizontal plane.
-Posterior Pelvic Tilt - -If PS is higher than ASIS (tuck)
-Anterior Tilt - -If ASIS is higher than PS (arch)
-Muscle Groups that act on Pelvic complex - -Spinal Flexors, Pelvic
Floor, Spinal extensors, Spinal lateral flexors and rotators, Hip Flexors,
Hip Extensors, Hip Adductors, Hip Abductors, Hip external rotators, Hip
internal rotators
-Benefits of Breathing - -Oxygenate blood and nourish body on cellular
level
Improve circulation
Calm body and mind
Encourage concentration
Recruit appropriate muscles for the movements
Provide rhythm for movements
-Breath Cycle - -Process of Inhalation and Exhalation
-Inhalation - -Contraction of the diaphragm to enlarge chest cavity and
