Power Up Your Glutes Unleashing the Potential of Muscle Spindle Stimulation

Massage therapists are aware of upper and lower crossed syndromes where some muscles are predictably short and tight and others are inhibited and weak. We know how to stretch the tight muscles like the hip flexors, but how do you reduce inhibition and weakness in the hip extensors like the gluteus maximus?

The answer is “muscle spindle stimulation”!

Muscle spindles are sensory receptors embedded within skeletal muscles that play a crucial role in muscle function, coordination, and control.

In this video, Erik Dalton PhD, developer of Myoskeletal Alignment Technique demonstrates a fast paced muscle spindle stimulation technique that activates the muscle spindle reflex and more broadly, the gamma motor neuron system. It’s easy to perform and you’ll see immediate results - in this case, improved hip extension.

✅ Spindle stimulation techniques are just part of a broader system of Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques. You can find out more about this unique approach that is used by massage therapists internationally at Erik Dalton’s website: https://erikdalton.com
