When you see somebody that has a lot of internal rotation and a limitation in external rotation, you have a very significant anterior orientation situation. So the only way under those circumstances, especially with a narrow ISA, a narrow ISA should be biased towards external rotation with limitation and internal rotation. But what we should see is with a retroverted acetabulum, that would bias me towards external rotation and limit me towards internal rotation. But if I continue to anteriorly orient the pelvis forward, what it does is it untwists the ligamentous structure of the hip. Now I have this really freed up internal rotation situation because of the anterior orientation. The muscular structure above the trochanter though gives me the limitation in external rotation. The first order of business under every circumstance is I got to bring this pelvis back. I got to bring the thorax back at the same time. And what that will do is it'll give me a position where I can start to recapture the relative motions between the bones. Because what you have right now is you have a pelvis that's probably oriented like that and then forward. The thing you got to be careful of when you're trying to reorient somebody that is a narrow ISA archetype is that if I promote too much muscle activity in that posterior lower area, I'm not gonna see a change. So you gotta be really, really careful with the positions that you're gonna start with. Chances are this person also has limited early ER in all hip motions. So like the hip flexion would be limited, the straight leg raise would be limited, things like that. And so you have to make sure that you're not moving them into a position where they will immediately try to utilize a compensatory strategy because this person will use lumbar flexion as the external rotation. So you ask somebody to posteriorly orient their pelvis during an activity in the hopes of recapturing the orientation. What's going to happen is you're going to get that lumbar flexion as a substitution, and then you won't see the changes in the hips like you want. So you're probably going to have to go with something that would be more unilateral, or you're going to use some form of a rolling activity with a limited amount of hip flexion.

Clearly I don't turn down, you don't turn down, female volleyball players that are juniors and seniors in high school. But they're not your audience. They're going to come in because other people are coming in. That's the word of mouth element of it.

They had to. They're at a threshold where staying even wasn't going to work. I made myself uneven and I finished the lift. And again, I'm not saying whether that's good. I'm not saying whether it's bad. I'm just saying that that is the strategy that they're using under the circumstances. I mean, you have to accept it. It just means that you have to make a decision as to what are you willing to accept and then consider the context.

Hang on. Let's just talk this through. Let's make an assumption that we're moving forward. OK. Is that fair? That's how we know that both sides are concentric because they're going in the same direction. So the muscle orientation has to be the same if I'm going in the same direction, right? Okay. If I'm walking, so I'm stepping, right? So one foot is going ahead of the other, in a reciprocal fashion, okay? To get one foot ahead of the other, the one side has to slow down to allow the other one to be faster, okay? Now, knowing what we know about the rate of load on connective tissues, that's how we determine an overcoming versus a yielding strategy, right? And so, if I have a delay on one side and it's concentrically oriented, so it's still moving forward, it's just going to move forward as a slow rate, means I have to activate that side to slow that side down so the other side can get ahead, right? So then that becomes concentric yielding on that side, okay? As I move the other side forward, right. I'm still concentric because we're all going in the same direction. Okay. But because I need that to go faster than those connected tissues are going to be loaded at a higher rate, which means I'm going to have an overcoming action. Okay. So far, so good. Okay. So if I'm creating a delay on one side. So, think about when the first metatarsal head on the right foot hits the ground. Okay. The foot doesn't move. It's no longer going forward. Right. So that means that's the side I have to slow down on. So that's where I start to yield. I actually begin my yielding action at that point when the first metatarsal head hits the ground. Okay. So all the way up. So all the way from the foot up through the pelvis into the axial skeleton up into the thorax. That side is starting to yield. So it's holding back. Okay. So if I'm doing that, if I'm doing that, then to advance the other side, then I have to compress that posterior lower aspect on the left side to get it to go forward. Right? Because I have to get the spine to turn. We're talking about the right yield. I have to get the spine to turn to the right. Okay. And I would do that through the lowest part of the spine, which would be sacrum. Right? So that ischial tuberosity is being compressed closer to the sacrum. I have external rotation of the femur, right? And so if you think about like the, I can probably just show you.

Yeah.

When you can inspire a professional athlete, then you know you're on to something. So that's pretty cool. This is how we started. This is where we are. I think we'll keep doing this, but let this thing evolve organically. I love it because we have a lot of information to offer after 11 years of business and continuing on. Hopefully this inspires questions about the 'how' and 'why's. We've got a lot of people that have been through our organization as interns and employees that are now at really high levels. I think that's going to be an important topic to talk about—how we develop people. We're not just about the financial; we want to be financially viable because that keeps us alive. But the reality is we've always had great people here, great coaches, and our evolution has trickled down into a lot of other people's capabilities as professionals.

It's miserable. So, if you have somebody that practices meditation, they do really well with it because you say, this is your meditation—this is your mindfulness. But most people don't like to be inside their head this long, and it's really hard. It's very, very difficult. So maybe you put on some classical music that you just can't stand that doesn't have any words to it, play it in the background, get a little lavender scent to fill up the room, and paint the walls purple. Maybe you get them to calm down and enjoy it on some level. I don't know—it's hard. And I tell people right away, I say, this is going to be the hardest thing you've ever done because it doesn't feel like you're doing anything and it takes a tremendous amount of concentration.

Yeah.

No, I just have his book and I've been trying to use it more frequently.

Right. So they're actually reducing the downforce on that side. Remember, down is intro rotation. Okay, so that's why you see the left side go up, right side goes back to the right heel, because that's just where the center of gravity is going to go.

Yeah. I'm visualizing too. You notice I don't have one. You pull the rubber band back, right? Okay, there's going to be a point where you pull it back maximally, whatever that maximum is, right? So the degree of maximum in this case is relative to how fast you're going into and out of the cut, right? So as you're going into the cut, you're pulling the rubber band back. So there's energy stored. So that has to be the maximum amount of yield. And then you release it and then there's your max peak.

Yeah.

Yeah, and they develop body dysmorphia, but they are flawed.

Okay.

Okay, do you have the rear foot adaptation?

Then I'm actually like my trigger would be to create some expansion in the left anterior.

Okay.

Stays yard?

Because you're spending so much time in IR. You don't have a choice.

Okay. Cool. We're on the same page.

Yes.

Okay.

OK, so they have to be able to lower their center of mass.

There we go. There we go. Yeah. And again, you can see a lot of orientation here. And you can see a nice little oblique there. OK. So, you know, I mean, and she's obviously, you know, well-muscled and such. So she's heavily trained. There's no question about that. But I think if you can get a reduction of any of this orientation, she's going to be a much happier timber.

Nope. There's a test. Is this where you tell me what that test is?

Yeah. Okay. All right. No, that's, that's, that, that, that marries up with where I was thinking. So that's good. Okay. Thanks, Bill.

Well, then you can put it on your right posterior lower to tip them.

So at that moment, the connective tissue behaviors and muscle behaviors change at the same time, right? It's concentric to eccentric and overcome. It's still overcome. I don't see it.

You said 'anconious and medial triceps.'

And since we're trying to increase relative motion, we're trying to increase access to space, is it, I guess, how far would you want, I guess, restrict the motion? For example, like having your feet pointing straight ahead versus something that's kind of a little bit towed out more as in their normal squat.
