2ADVANCE SPORTS MESSAGE TECHNIQUEIntroduction: Athletes go through injuries a considerable amount of times and these injuries often leadto a lot of complications that restrict the body flexibility that these athletes so desperatelyneed. It has to be mentioned in this context that the sports injuries can have a devastatingimpact on both the fitness and reflex of the athletes, and a very common sports injury that theathletes often suffer from is the lower cross syndrome. This pelvic cross system is the distaldistortion of the in the dorsal and ventral sides of the body (Been and Kalichman 2014).However, there are certain advanced sport massage techniques like gluteal activation therapyand deep pressure techniques that can relieve the patients of the complications that are theresult of such injuries. This assignment will focus on the lower cross syndrome and thelumbar lordosis associated with it, and how the different advanced sport massage techniquescan help the patient recover faster.Postural condition: In this report, Advance sports massage techniques applied to athletes and how it's said toenhance and benefit the performance as well as also supporting the rehabilitation of athleteswill be known. A discussion on how the therapist applying sports massage techniques canhelp the recovery of athletes, who have encountered Lower-crossed syndrome (LCS), willalso be identified.When there is a characteristic pattern of dysfunction of musculature tone of the pelvicgirdle/lumbosacral region of the body such as the L4-L5, L5 S1, SI joint and the Hip joint,this is considered LCS.Page,(1967) states that tightness of the thoracolumbar extensor on thedorsal side crosses with tightness of the iliopsoas and rectus femoris.
3ADVANCE SPORTS MESSAGE TECHNIQUEPostural changes that occur as a result of LCS are a slumped posture with a tilt in thepelvis: this then increases the curve of the lower back (increased lumbar lordosis), shift to thelateral lumber, hyperextension to the knee, etc.Increased anterior pelvic tilt with an associated increase in the lumbar lordosis leads topelvic crossed syndrome (Janda 1987: Janda, Frank, and Liebenson 2007). Factors that couldcontribute to LCS include the hip flexors and lumbar extensors in one or more of the jointbeing shortened or tight also a weakness in the abdominal and gluteal muscles. Leavingmuscular imbalances untreated can result in loose mobility in the lower back pelvis and thehip joint.Janda says that there are two identified subtypes of LCS: A and B.Patients who fall under type A you see visible hip flexion and extension movement whilein mobility, and there is anterior tilt when in a relaxed standing position with flexion also inthe hip and knee, whereas type B patients usually have a weak line.The lower crosses asymmetry is permitted as a result of the weak line B; There is a pulloff strong iliopsoas and the erector spinae groups, they are overpowered as a result of theweakened rectus and transverse abdominal muscles.The "Sacral base angle," is used to measure the degree of anterior tilt of the pelvis. Alongthe sacral base, a line is drawn, then a different line horizontal to the first line is drawn, anangle of where the two lines cross is measured; this is known as the sacral based angle.Often, Upper cross syndrome can develop as a result of the lower cross syndrome posturepredisposing the client. The curvature of the lumbar and cervical region of the human spinerefers to the term lordosis. Therefore if lumbar hyperlordosis occurs; the weight that was in
