Posterior Oblique Subsystem Integration
Posterior oblique subsystem (POS) POS. The role and function of the latissimus dorsi, gluteus maximus, and thoracolumbar fascia in the stability, strength, and power production between the lower and upper body. Summary of the function, arthrokinematics, integration between individual subsystems, behavior in postural dysfunction, exercise selection for the POS, and examples of subsystems exercises and progressions.

Course Description: Posterior Oblique Subsystem
This course describes the posterior oblique subsystem (POS). The posterior oblique subsystem may also be referred to as the posterior oblique sling, oblique sling, posterior oblique myofascial synergy, and is similar to the concepts of muscle synergies, myofascial lines, myofascial trains, anatomy trains, myofascial meridians, functional line, spiral line, and the serape effect. This course covers a detailed analysis of the posterior oblique subsystem (sling) including anatomy, research, integration techniques, and a sample routine.
The Posterior Oblique Subsystem (POS) is comprised of:
- Latissimus Dorsi
- Thoracolumbar Fascia (Superficial Posterior Layer)
- Gluteus Maximus
- Potentially
- Gluteus Medius (via the gluteal fascia)
- Lower Trapezius
- Serratus Posterior Inferior
- Potentially
The concepts and techniques described in this course may be particularly beneficial for neuromuscular re-education, coordination, motor pattern integration, whole-body strength, functional strength, and sports performance. Sports medicine professionals (personal trainers, fitness instructors, physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, etc.) should consider adding these exercises to their repertoire to improve the outcomes of their integrated exercise programs, sports performance programs, and therapeutic (rehabilitation) interventions.
