I'm just demonstrating this for everyone's benefit. Let me see if I can get my foot positioned. I have a dislocated cuneiform there. Hang on a second.

Okay. Yes. That was a very weak explanation. Yes. I'm just saying. I know it's early.

I tried to send these things internationally. They don't seem to like me too much.

Oh, absolutely. In almost every case. It's the easiest way to see it. In fact, depending on context, you've got the right idea.

Right. You know where muscles are, right? Magic hands. You with the magic hands.

Okay. So that might be a little bit of a question mark, right? Other than that, did you get an ER shaped foot when you did do the heel elevation?

I see it. Yeah.

Okay.

Gotcha. So in a hook line position, if I'm worried about the ER orientation, the ball between the knees would probably be a better bet because that's going to encourage medial contacts better. But then if I were to... That alone, and all you have to do is do it yourself one time.

Yeah. And you have to understand it. It's like, you have to look at this from a multiple influence perspective. We talked about seven components of force. They're all there.

It was like right at the opportune moment too. It was very, it was very dramatic. There was a buildup and then stuck it.

Go ahead. If she stops tearing a hamstring, she'll be more than happy with that as a byproduct. So yeah. Basically, she's got a history of repetitive injuries down the left leg. She's a 400m hurdler, quite good—represented Australia a number of times and missed out on the last two Olympic trials as a result of these recurring hamstring strains. She's one of the coaches at our gym and hasn't had much luck with conventional treatments. Every time she really starts to get her times down, she comes back with repeated problems on this left side. So I was curious about her running gait—she's got a decent anterior tibial torsion, which I'd expect from a sprinter. The foot is flat through the stance, with the center of pressure pushed fairly far forward. What I was curious about was your statement regarding the orientation. Do you want me to read that comment out or do you want to?

Don't confuse the application of superficial muscle activity sequence with the orientation. So the orientation is what's happening under all of that at the same time. So I need to grab my pelvis here real quick. I'll show you. Wonderful. So if you look at this through space time, so I'm going to give you the textbook representation of a pelvis. So we would see the ASIS and the pubis in the same vertical representation. That would be the textbook representation.

Guess what? No internal rotation. You didn't have any internal rotation. You were on your heels, but you had to lighten your forefoot to get there. You don't have any internal rotation in that position. That was an ER all day, every day. Good luck doing an RDL. It's not for you. It's not an exercise for you because you don't have the pelvic shape nor do you have the capacity to access that pelvic shape. It's okay. It doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you a better polevaulter. So you didn't move back. You have to have internal rotation to move back. You don't have it. Not in that position anyway. Your center of mass has to be able to shift down and back to be able to do that. And you can't do it under any circumstance.

Right. And then, but think about this. She's a wide ISA and she's pushing down.

See the rotation test versus.

Does it move? It moves.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

With the lateral like epicondylitis type stuff, would that be analogous to lateral hip pain or the kind of twist you get coming up?

Today I want to ask about doing a supine cross-connect. But for people who can't achieve the foot contacts, the medial contacts, and they don't have the option to get manual intervention from a therapist and they're working on their own. Do you have any ideas for changing the actual foot contact with the wall? For example, putting a slant block on the wall or putting something underneath the first metatarsal head, something that could be done without manual intervention from a second person.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've got a million questions, but let's start with this one. I was reviewing some of the intensive Zoom calls through the history of the page there. I noticed that you were coaching a little wall back, a prone breathing position where you essentially just put a pillow under the pubis and then the hands into almost similar to the frog representation except with the pillow under the breathing. I've been playing around a little bit with that, and I'm just trying to get some clarity on exactly what I've been seeing and making sure that that is in fact, so mutation and counter-mutation, because obviously I can't put my hands on someone to feel that, so I go visually. What I've been seeing at this point pretty commonly is that when they start the drill, we get a bit of sort of lumbar expansion, and then It seems to progress down and we'll see the buck, I guess, if you want to call up that for a better description, kind of rise and fall. And then as it goes a bit further, we get it doing this just a little bit. And I'm presuming that that is so called nutation counter-nutation without being able to put my hand on it observationally. It looks like it. Is that on track? Yeah. Yes. sir. Cool. Yeah.

That could be the band assistance athlete. If you want to extend the duration of the middle repulsive phase, I'm trying to shorten the impulse. I'm saying for the other athlete, if you make the decision that you're trying to extend the duration of the middle repulsive phase with the activity a little bit, maybe that's the reason to go with more weight from the band.

So under load, it would be more of an even representation through the knee in a perfect world, because you're applying greater force into the ground. The greater the application of force into the ground, the more of an IR orientation you would want, which would be like a femur relative to tibia, like this, like a negative or an equivalent position facing forward, so to speak. You wouldn't want like an IR femur on an ER tibia under that circumstance. It might be moving towards that direction as you straighten the leg, but because of the load, it would be reduced. Whenever you're pushing into the ground, you want to be able to push straight through that joint with the least amount of relative motion required.

Oh, for sure. Yeah. So I guess I was kind of, could you go more into the benefits of each one in terms of?

Yes.

Okay, posterior outlets going to look like what then? E-centric?

And so going onwards when I'm not on a conference call with you and I'm trying to figure stuff out for other stuff than a box. Like is it a decent rule of thumb to try to go with this idea of creating a yield and expansion, like try to have people be in a position where there's some low level of antagonistic muscle activity.

Without having the, uh, last part of the heel lift up and there you go.
