I just want to be sure because again, some coaches and trainers really aren't well versed in trying to manage those cases. If you need to, bring somebody else in that can help you. You don't do joint mobilizations then, are you?

Yeah. So he's got that, he's got the posterior medial compressus strategy that pushes forward, right?

I no longer have relative motion between the scapula and the thorax or the ilium and the sacrum. So I have to get into a position where I can start to recapture that first. So the first strategy under all of these circumstances is creating the reorientation where I'm no longer using the anti-orientation, which is an IR position. So IR, you've probably heard me say this, is that introversion is a downward force. So that means that the pelvis has to dump forward and push down. It's like, I got to rotate it back so I can expand upward. Does that make sense?

You're understeer.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Yeah. And I think that it leads to a lot of misconceptions just at a very broad level when it comes to exercise. And to that point, for myself and for a lot of trainers and therapists out there, and I thought of this because of the coffee and coaches call this past week where, you were talking about the external rotation exercise, right? And how you can basically do an internal rotation, to get that to happen. You can create a squeeze to make that happen. Do you think that there are any particularly bastardized examples where people are saying it's external rotation, but it's internal rotation or vice versa.

Okay.

Correct, correct. Yes, happiness is not the party. Happiness is the contentment and the sense of not having to want anything. If I don't want anything, there's no discomfort. It's the absence of want or desire. That's how I look at it. What's your definition of success? Again, getting to do what I want when I want to do it. Basically. And that comes and goes. It's not like an absolute and it's not static. It's like there are periods where there is success and then there was periods where there is a lack of success. You have to understand this. It's like everything is dynamic. Everybody wants something to be, like they think that there's some sort of absolute, like somebody that has a lot of money or a lot of fame, like they're always happy. I got news for you. They get constipated just like everybody else in the whole wide world does. Take that picture. Next time you see something that is supremely famous, put them in that level of discomfort and then view them from that perspective. And you go, oh, you're just like me. It's just that maybe at this moment in time, you have a little bit more money than me. Maybe you're just, you have some other talent that I don't have, but that's okay because I have other talents that you don't have. I'm the best me there is. You're the best you there is. And so focus on that. Don't try to be somebody else. It's a waste of time. You can't do it. It's not worth it. You have a very, you're a very young person. You're a very young person. You have a lot of time, but that time as a representation of forever is very small. Take advantage of it. Be you, be the best you.

So real quick, you just have to get all the way through the motion. We've been talking about this. They put the position. Yeah, you have to get far enough for it. So that's a turn. That's a turn and a push from the opposite side. So I have to turn the sacrum. I have to turn the sacrum away from that leg. So that's actually pretty simple. You push all the way through and make sure it's a turn. Okay. Thank you. There'll be days where you knock it out of the park and there'll be days where you're eating rhinoceros poop, you know, because it was just such a bad day. Good morning. Happy Wednesday. I have neural coffee in hand and it is perfect. Okay. Today is Wednesday. That means it's tomorrow's Thursday. So 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, the Coffee and Coaches conference call as usual will take place. We've had great groups, great questions, lots of great discussion going on there. I enjoy these calls tremendously. So they will be continuing as long as they are useful. So please join us at 6 a.m. tomorrow. The link will be on my professional Facebook page a little bit before the call at 6 a.m. Got to dig into today's Q&A. We are short on time, so today's call is with Johnny. And we've talked to Johnny before. Johnny is a chiropractic student on his clinical rotations. And so he has really good questions in regards to some of the principles upon which we want to base our process in regards to how movement arises. And so we talked a little about gait and propulsion and how that may apply under the guise of these physical principles. The conversation sort of evolved into, okay, how does this system interact to find out what people are really good at? How do we see some of these amazing performances in regards to how the system behaves? And then we got into a little of the patient interaction as to what we are responsible for as clinicians. And I think that's going to be very useful. So if you know any students or people that want to be students, this is going to be a really useful call for you. If you would like to participate in a 15-minute consultation, please go to askbillharmonetgmail.com, put '15 minute consult' in the subject line so I don't delete it, and we will arrange one of those at our mutual convenience. Please go to the YouTube page. Don't forget to subscribe to that so you can get access to all of these videos at a moment's notice. And then everybody have a terrific Wednesday. I'll see you tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. on the Coffee and Coaches Conference call. Have a great day.

So you can't pull it back until you have ground contact. You have to have something to help create the delay. If the foot has nothing to push on, it's very difficult to create a delay. So it's usually at ground contact where you're going to start to see that change take place.

Yes.

I agree.

So the fact that you can identify that is useful for us now because what that's going to be is that that's somebody that doesn't have the normal anterior and posterior expansion when she takes a breath in. So she still needs to create an increase in volume internally to create the negative pressure to bring her in. So what's the next best strategy? Well, if I grab the top of the rib cage and I pull it up, that creates that space, right? And so this is where you start to see the people with the really big sternocleidomastoid, or you see the scalenes kind of jumping out at you. And these are the people that can't relax their neck because if they did, they wouldn't be able to breathe.

You are very welcome. I will see you in the coffee and coach's conference call, yes? Definitely. All right, brother. Have a great day. You too, thank you. Good morning. Happy Tuesday. I have neural coffee in hand and It is perfect. All right. Tuesday, busy clinic day today. Mentorship calls before then. So lots of things to do. We're going to dive right into today's Q&A. Today's Q&A was with Kyle. I had a chance to talk to Kyle over the weekend, and he asked some really, really good questions that I think are going to be helpful for a lot of people in regards to how do we sequence activities once we've identified what our clients' needs are? What do we prioritize? And then we got into a little bit of programming as to how we execute these things based on key performance indicators. So again, a very, very useful call. If you would like to participate in a 15 minute consultation, you can do so by just asking. So you go to askbillhardman at gmail.com, askbillhardman at gmail.com, put 15 minute consult in the subject line so I don't delete it and then throw me a question in the email and we'll get that arranged at our earliest mutual convenience. Okay, everybody have an outstanding Tuesday. We will be back tomorrow with another Q&A. I'll see you all. Okay, Kyle. Clock is running. What can I do for you, young man?

I'm afraid so. But again, it's not that he can't train. It's just that he may not be able to do some of the things that he enjoys more, which is an unfortunate circumstance. Now, having said that, the way that I tend to address these things, unless it's overt interference. So if you have like a marathoner that does like really heavy mileage, I tend to not take things away from people unless it's obvious. And like I said, it's got to be this overt interference. So it's like, you know, like somebody that's got upper back compression and they want to do back squats. It's like, okay, we've got to take that one kind of opportunity because that's your interference, right? But it's like, said, if he wants to do a different type of running under certain circumstances, so when I have a distance runner that's breaking back into a running progression, we'll have them do tempo runs on grass or something along those lines that changes the surface and then changes the pace. So they load their tissues a little bit differently. So that might be a useful strategy for you. Maybe the conditioning becomes some element of something that would put us in sort of an early propulsive foot position. So like a backwards sled drag or something like that, that's an early propulsive strategy. But again, it's kind of conditioning oriented. Not running, of course, but like I said, you might have to limit those things.

Would you still need more of that overhead ER position to get there?

Gotcha. It makes a ton of sense. Yeah.

You know what you're going to do today? You're going to literally sit down and write out a description longhand. Write out a description of your perfect client and how they will be coming to you, where they hang out, where they direct their attention. Again, if it's a young athlete, then you say, where does mom and dad hang out? Where do they live? What part of town do they live in? Where do they spend their time? What do they do socially? You figure out where their attention is and then that's where you go to get their attention. Just throwing stuff up on social media doesn't help.

Welcome to the world of complexity. So what if flexion doesn't exist? Good morning. Happy Friday. I have no coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right. So I'm still kind of fired up about yesterday's Coffee and Coaches conference call. We covered a tremendous amount of ground. A little bit of discomfort on that call as there always is when we're trying to unlearn and relearn. But again, some really, really great questions. And one of the things that we talked about was some of the interference that's associated with thinking in the imaginary sagittal and imaginary funnel planes. And so there's a discussion on the difference between overhead reach and overhead press because they are not the same. And so we can't refer to those in these planar representations because it just creates interference in our understanding. So that segment, I think it's in the middle of this video segment. We talked about the influence of normative values and why there aren't any norms. So again, this is a really, really good segment to finish up the week with. So I hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions, go to askbillharmonetgmail.com, askbillharmonetgmail.com, and we'll answer those questions next week. And so everybody have a great weekend and I'll see you next week.

Right. Like sports, it's all well and good to analyze this straight line, 100 meter dash, but yeah.

Of course.

Awesome. So we'll sign off for now and be looking for the next one. We'll probably do this probably week to week if we can, as long as we're able to block out the time. So thanks for listening. Thanks for watching or however your media is working today and we'll see you next time.

OK, but to achieve internal rotation, the foot has to land on the ground, doesn't it? Okay, cool. So, I position the foot outward, I put it down on the ground, and then that starts to turn me towards internal rotation.

I have a question about how expansion and compression work at the foot, both to hold us upright and through compensations. I understand largely that expansion and compression facilitate fluid movement that pushes into the ground or away, and that holds us up. Regarding the locations of compression that we tend to see through the foot, I classically think of this as there being points of contact where we compress down through them. But when I see compression through the foot, it often appears more diffuse. So I'm wondering if muscle compression focuses down through the points of contact, and that's where we tend to see it set up. Related to that, I feel like the midfoot shows expanded representation a lot of the time. So I'm wondering if that's just where the expansion happens because it's not an area we can compress into the ground. I'm just trying to understand how that whole system gets set up.

Yeah, simultaneous, like this is happening at the same time, right? Because it's just based on shape. So it's just following the simple rule of you will move in the direction of expansion.

Let's talk about something interesting. Sorry, let's talk about something fun and interesting like Michael Jordan. I always make fun of your shirt because you always wear Jordan shirt.

That is pretty fair. That's a pretty good reasoning, yeah.

You got to help her. You are going to have to go in there. Okay. You got to go in there, right? And then you got to help her just like you did at the hip. It's like you laid hands on the hip, right? Yes. You know where to put your hands like right away. You knew where to put your hands to get what you wanted. This isn't, this is no different. It looks funny, right? But it's not. Unlock that. Okay. It will turn. It will turn. But there's muscles there.

How much elevation do you need under this circumstance to get the foot to change shape?
