excerpted from Dalton (2010) Advanced Myoskeletal Techniques
Synergistic dominance is a self-serving substitution system that allows us to carry on with life even though parts of our structure may be slowly breaking down and decompensating.
A typical synergistic substitution pattern often exists in runners with a unilaterally Continue reading
