The Lateral (Side) Chain

The lateral (side) chain controls balance in the lateral plane and contributes to stability in the frontal plane. Like the anterior chain, it ends very close to the inner ear and contributes to the body’s balance.

However, this muscle chain, laterally and deeply, also connects to the superficial anterior and posterior chains. If you neglect lateral flexion and extension exercises and focus only on the anterior and posterior chains or if your sport does not specifically involve lateral movement, you risk diminishing the quality of the collaboration between the anterior and posterior chains, possibly leading to muscle compensation in the lateral chain.

This chain’s distinctive quality of being somewhere between an endurance chain and a strength chain gives it a mixed profile, capable of producing great strength and having excellent stamina at the same time.
