The fact is, merely positioning someone is an incomplete way of assuring maximum benefit and minimum risk...
The reason why: muscle inhibition.
Whether from dehydration, stress, trauma, overuse, vitamin/mineral deficiencies or chemical sensitivities, inhibited muscles will not work at their full capacity, if at all.
The body is excellent at compensating for muscular imbalances, weakness, and inhibition.
Even during basic movements, if the muscles are pulling differently than designed, this uneven stress can and will lead to a muscle inhibition domino effect, more serious compensatory patterns, uneven joint wear, unhealthy stress on the neuromuscular system, and sub-optimal or totally ineffective performance.
The goal should be to first restore optimal function to the neuromuscular system, next restore muscular balance, and then to strengthen the body as a whole.
