So as I twist a hip into ER or IR. If you could see the tension lines in all of the tissues. So if I'm twisting a hip into ER, with the hip at 90 degrees relative to the table, I twist the hip in that outward direction and you should be able to see the tension lines pulling from the right shoulder towards the left hip. You would see it coming from the other side of the pelvis towards the left hip. You would see it coming down the left side to wrap underneath and around. So you could see, like again, you're seeing this whole, the whole system is creating this tension. That's what you're measuring. You're measuring this entire system's ability to allow the tissues to move through the excursion. Rather than just looking at this, oh, I'm moving the hip joint. Well, yeah, you are, hopefully, if that's the goal. But you gotta see that everything else is contributing to this. And then the degree to which everything can contribute determines what the movement outcome would be. So if you take your hand like this, bring your thumb into a little bit of opposition and then grab the skin right there, pinch it. Now don't let go of the skin and then try to open your hand up. It's restricted.
