Wow, they really had to make these descriptive terms this complicated for a concept that isn't that crazy huh.
Open kinetic chain exercises and closed kinetic chain exercises are terms that are used to describe different types of exercises or movement that our body performs. The main focus of what makes them different, is found in what we're pushing on.
If we are moving something with our hands or feet that moves in space, or against gravity, then we're doing an open kinetic chain exercise. Think, bicep curls, leg extensions, or overhead press.
If we are using our hands or feet to push on something that's NOT moving, then we are doing a closed kinetic chain exercise. Think, squats, lunges, deadlifts, pushups.
Which is better depends on the situation, one isn't necessarily better all the time. Hope my perfect form demonstrations are helpful for you all out there :)

So why watch A Physio Named Jonah?
For free videos about the human body, injuries, rehabilitation, the world of Physiotherapy, and whatever other shenanigans comes along. Maybe you can learn something new and not feel like you're stuck in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring.
A Physio Named Jonah is a channel created by, well, exactly who you think. The channel features primarily Physiotherapy based topics, or things that it would make sense for a Physical Therapist to weigh in on. The goal is to make these often sterile topics interesting and easily accessible to anyone with a few laughs (or forced exhales from your nose if you're alone) along the way.
Jonah is a Canadian Physiotherapist who works with a primarily outpatient orthopaedic population at a clinic in Sudbury, Ontario. He completed his Master's of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, with his Bachelors of Sciences specialized in Human Kinetics coming from The University of Ottawa. He is also considered by his parents, wife(!!!) and 2 dogs to be a pretty cool guy.
