Short Class 62: Knee End-Range Control
Class Focus: ANKLE, KNEE, FOOT & TOES
•
24m
This class will help you develop greater end-range control of your knees
Equipment Needed: Yoga blocks and extra padding for your knees. Ankle weight is optional.
We’ll work a series of different end-range control drills for every position of the knee (Flexion, Extension, IR/ER). Movements such as lift offs, passive range holds, and CARs.
We’re not working any PAILs/RAILs in this class - which is often used to expand range of motion. The movements we’ll emphasize in this class will be to develop greater active control. So we’re teaching the nervous system how to produce and control maximum force at end ranges.
Creating control is just as important as expanded range, and for some people, the control element is even more important. For example, people who are hypermobile, or those who have far more passive range of motion than active. Regardless, having control over your ranges of motion is critical for strength and resilience.
This class is tough, I hope you enjoy it!
