Concepts

This class uses concepts like irradiation*, PAILS/RAILS** and maximum voluntary isometric contraction to re-pattern the nervous system, allowing the body to expand and control ranges of motion that have been previously lost.

Sherrington’s Law of Irradiation states:

“A muscle working hard recruits the neighboring muscles, and if they are already part of the action, it amplifies their strength. The neural impulses emitted by the contracting muscle reach other muscles and ‘turn them on’ as an electric current starts a motor”.

Progressive Angular Isometric Loading (PAIL) and Regressive Angular Isometric Loading (RAIL) are isometric techniques used in combination with passive stretching to prepare the nervous system to allow us to have more and greater control over the rage of motions that we have.

This is used while working to achieve maximum voluntary isometric contraction.
