Mechanical Energy as the Ability to Do Work. An object that possesses mechanical energy is able to do work. In fact, mechanical energy is often defined as the ability to do work. Any object that possesses mechanical energy-whether it is in the form of potential energy or kinetic energy-is able to do work.s already mentioned, the mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (i.e., kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (i.e., potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.
A towel stretch is an effective way to stretch your psoas muscle. You can use a regular bath towel or a strap that's roughly the same length. To do the stretch, lie close to the edge of your bed on your stomach. Plant your outside foot on the floor and bend your other leg.
Pain at the base of the spine stops Gluteus maximus engaging(3). Pain at the base of the spine stops the multifidis spinal muscles & transverse abdominal muscles engaging(3). Twisted ankle stops the Gluteus engaging(4). Pain at the base of the spine causes the psoas muscle to shorten and weaken(1,2,3,). 80% of Western people will suffer from debilitating backpain some time in their lives(5). Western style walking (comfortable shoes & flat ground) fails to trigger muscles that stabilize hip joints & lower back.
