Hi, sir. Yesterday, I was thinking a little bit about this and I realized maybe I don't have everything sorted out in my head. You and me both. Yeah. I think me more than you, but yeah. It's a pretty basic question, I think. I just wanted to go over how the femur and tibia orient during early, middle, and late propulsion. How does the calcaneus orient and the midfoot?

Well, I guess when I think of muscle, I guess everything's a muscle energy technique.

Okay.

Oh, anytime.

Not really. It's just that I come off before my toes come off. I just end at mid stance when I walk. And I don't even know why.

A fake. Anytime, okay. The implement. Okay, is the guts. Do you understand that? Yeah, so wherever that implement goes, the guts are gonna follow. So there's a slight delay because it's water, right? So if I go up like this, my body turns, my guts have a little bit of a delay and then they follow. As I go into the chopping action, my body goes, there's a slight delay and then there's the wave of the guts that follows. You understand that? Okay, if I don't release the ball, I extend the duration of the slow down.

I was just wondering where in that pathway, they start to get right to your compression. I'm assuming at some point it's there to help them not fall over off their right foot. But I'm not sure on what part it shows up.

Yeah, guided meditation type of thing. Kind of.

Not really. Yeah. Really? You don't? Oh, yeah, you do. You do. It depends on how hard you, you, yeah.

Please put '15 minute consultation' in the subject line so we don't delete it. Also include your question in the email. Everybody have an outstanding Tuesday and I will see you tomorrow.

I understand that. I'm more talking of an individual that is able to change shape to access [movement].

I've watched a couple of your videos on box flooding. That's something I've been doing since the 70s. So I've had a lot of experience doing them. Never really understood some of the things that I've seen up until I saw your model. And I realized that, yes, there are a lot of caveats to teach your architect type, whether it's wide or narrow, right? Yes. My understanding from what I'm, if I'm understanding this right, me being a wide, I'm going to be more concentrically oriented.

I don't want to drive that position.

And how do you observe the patella if the person is lying prone?

Yeah. Because so what I'll see is, you know, I do see a lot of hyper extension overhead in what I do, but that's not shocking. Right. But in really compressed individuals, what else he is, it looks like they can't even bend their arm or they can't even straighten their arm. So like they'll go overhead and it looks like they're like this. And so what I'm wondering is that kind of like what we're talking about with that cowboy representation where they had that hyper extension and then they had so much twist going on that they had to twist at the proximal humorous to then get that kind of orientation. Looks like they're not straightening their arm, but they're not straightening their arm because they can't. But when you ask them to straighten their arm, they're like, this is as far as it goes.

I've been waiting to say this for a long time.

Where do you want?

Okay.

So when you have this issue, you have the whole humerus oriented into ER, as well as the upper forearm, while the lower part of the forearm is in pronation. So in this case, the pistol test is positive. Yeah, and the cubital tunnel gets more flat, which puts more pressure on the ulnar nerve when the arm is flexing. Okay.

It's not a bad thing. It's just, it's a matter of recognition and understanding your superpowers. So when you understand your superpowers, it just guides you as to what you need to protect yourself.

Head or gut. Can you guys see that movie? That's Die Hard, Bruce Willis, greatest actor of our time. Okay, quick story. Bruce Willis comes into his house. He finds his best friend with his wife, and he's very angry about that. And he sort of forgives his buddy, but he says, I can't let you walk away without punishment. So he goes head or gut, which means I'm going to punch you. You get to decide whether I hit you in the head or in the gut. Okay. So if I hit you in the head, right? That's location number one. There will be a wave when I punch you in the head that goes through your system from your head, you understand? Okay. If I punch you in the gut, there is a force that will be applied and it will move in a different direction, okay? Because of the location, because of the angle of attack, so to speak, the wave will propagate in a certain direction, okay? If you were to throw a punch, okay, you would pull force from the ground upward into your fist. And as you make contact, it would reverse gears and it would go the other way. Okay. And so based on the points of contact, that's going to determine where the wave would start and then what direction it can go. Does that clarify?

So she initially came to me. She's a 14-15 year old high school girl with bilateral hip, knee, and foot pain. I have a picture where it won't show her face.

I was thinking about when someone is bending their knees in a squat versus just getting that posterior weight shift. I cannot visualize what's happening, but I can tell what I'm thinking. I think when they bend their knees, I know they cannot keep the distal hamstring concentric to superimpose IR on top of ER. Would that be it? And with the posterior shift, I see that the same – like they cannot go into IR representation of their femurs and feet. So they would go back to get into late representation, which will be more negative TBI angle and late representation of the foot.

I was wondering how much of a hot topic that was going to be for you. I was wondering if you were going to go a hot chain, right?

The couple that I've taken the time to assess, yes, they are.

Would you see the same thing, but opposite if somebody's knees were caving in?

Go ahead, yes.

And it's also happening at the pubis. If that is pulling the pubis down and everything starts rolling, or is there?

Bill. So formal. Well, with the complexity of the questions popping up, I'm going to take it back to simple. I want to ask about the knee, Valgus and varus presentations.

Yeah.
