Does that make sense? Do you see the difference?

Right. So the question would be, doing a seated row where you're compressed in the front with a bench, and you brought your hands around, light and breathing, more like a reaching movement, but with some compression here, would that be a good strategy to try to open back?

Because to create the space, think about it, that has to expand. If there's expansion there, what direction would you move? Your wide back. So it's like, as soon as you start creating that space, you're moving in that direction.

Yes.

So again, when those are the limiting factors, those things change very, very fast. Does that make sense?

The helix being like the point of junction.

Yeah. And then it's like, how fast can I do that? So then we can use contextual activities. In Cameron's case, it's going to be playing video games. In your case, it's playing soccer or football. That's why they have to play their sport—they have to learn how to manage the environment and start to recognize cues that help make it more predictable. This is probably why you always see one superstar in a sport. Why is he better than everybody else? Does he kick the ball harder and faster than everybody else? Or is he just better at managing the probabilities of what the outcomes will be? That's why he's better. He might not be the fastest guy on the team. He might just be the better predictor of the entire game.

Yes. Could that also be a possible strategy?

Okay. Yes. Very helpful.

Okay. All right. I understand. I understand.

Oh yeah, I have a fair amount of those. For the most part, we're trying to generally in this circumstance, roll them diagonally.

Okay. Do you understand what you just did?

Right. So I was thinking, since we're compressing in this way from the bottom up, then I should go after, I should fill from the bottom up. But then that was conflicting with the way I deal with turns, which is from their start position and trying to bring them back home, as you would say. So trying to go basically this way. Do you know what I mean?

That's good. That's perfect. That's perfect. Okay. So we'll be able to see exactly what we want to see. All right. So, um, pick up the medial aspect of your foot. So we're going to do the left foot. Okay. Um, pick up the first met head and the medial heel. Okay. Awesome. Did you feel yourself shift to the left? Awesome. So here's what I want you to do. Don't change your foot orientation at all. Okay. So keep it supinated. Okay. And then do whatever you do, whatever you have to do with your body to get the medial arch down to the ground. Thank you. Okay. Now come back to center. Now don't sway to your right and do the exact same thing.

What is your, have you back squatted before?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm going to have to think about this for a little bit, but it's changing my perspective.

Okay. Yeah. And so now I got to say, well, okay, well, what tissue would be able to support that magnitude? Right. And then how much force is it going to take to deform it? Okay. Um, now take one of your athletes that's, that's, um, in a return to play situation and you're trying to make them bouncing. Okay. Do you want to work on your max effort squad?

Right.

Okay. So here's what, here's yes, yes, but okay. You also have to consider the rate of the activity of the muscle itself. Okay. So, are you familiar with the concept of rate coding? So that's a neurologic phenomenon of how quickly the muscle behavior takes place. And when you talk about the off and on of motor units and things like that, it's like how many. So the concentric orientation, so the joint position may not change, but the rate at which the muscle behavior takes place will. So if the output slows down, that helps to dampen it. So that's what gives the connective tissues its yielding capability and allows it to dissipate the force. So if you were gonna catch at the bottom and then try to utilize the elastic energy, that would not happen. The rate of the muscle activity would stay very, very high to allow the tissue to recoil. You understand? So there's the difference. Okay, so you can't confuse the right behavior of the muscle activity with concentric eccentric orientation because that's a position. Okay, and this is why we have to have those physiological representations in part of this. So you do understand because it would seem like, well, you're always going to try to dissipate the energy under that circumstance. It's like, no, because I have muscle behavior, the intramuscular, coordinate of elements of it that would produce the tuning of the connective tissues.

Okay. Go back to where we started and in the end position. So go to the right and then go forward. There you go. Both posterior lowers should be compressed right now. Do you feel that?

Understood. But like I said, it is difficult, but I think you're on point. Hey, I need to run in the next call.

Right, so you just start to look at the space that's available to exercise without the compensations, right?

And the fact that it's kind of twisted relative to the foot.

For sure. So again, you either respect the threshold or you change the activity. And then what I would do is I would change an activity that would promote a similar representation that you got from the one activity that did not bother him, which was the Zercher. So again, so maybe you got to do it. Heels elevated. You need something that's going to promote some measure of yielding activity posteriorly as he's performing the activity. Right? So front squat would do that. Maybe you got to go back to the Zerchers. Right?

Because he has to. It looks like the bottom of a squat, right?

Okay, so if I'm a high level sprinter, what direction is the force that I applied to the ground to the greatest degree? It's straight down, right? Straight down into the ground. If my vertical jump goes down and my symptoms that are associated with a late propulsive strategy go up, increase. That means that as they're pushing up off the ground, they're going forward. If you want an improved downward force, I think that using your vertical jump and then monitoring those symptoms and then the hip IR are probably going to give you a series of KPIs to track and see how they change.

Did you have something to relieve us energy as long as people randomly?

It's hard.

When working with someone with a neck and shoulder pain combination and you're looking at their internal rotation at the shoulder, you would expect it to be limited. Maybe you see what you would say is like a coffee cup measurement on one or both sides, thinking they should definitely be very down pump handle, but how do you have 50 degrees of shoulder internal rotation? I've heard you mention that when you're measuring their shoulder internal rotation, they're turning their servo spine towards the side you're measuring.
