In order to fully understand what exactly the role the posterior chain plays in movement, it’s important to first define what the posterior chain really is. The posterior chain is a group of muscles located on the back side of the body. It includes the erector spinae, gluteal muscles, hamstrings, latissimus dorsi, posterior deltoids, and rotator cuff muscles. These muscles work together to support your spine, stabilize your pelvis and power your movements. A strong posterior chain helps prevent injuries, reduces tension in the neck and shoulders, and allows for efficient and powerful movement patterns.
