Absolutely. You got it.

I was going. Yeah. Good morning. Happy Friday. I have neurocopy in hand and it is perfect. All right. For those of you on the two-week sprint, this is your review and reflection weekend. Make sure you are on course for your intended outcomes. Check your processes and make sure you are on point for those issues. All right. Digging into today's Q&A. This is with Alex. Alex has a question in regards to some representations that he saw with some extreme extra rotation measures and a rather significant deficit in internal rotation. So relative to dead guy zero, he actually has a negative measure in internal rotation. And so we discussed how that representation arises, which is a lot of orientation. So when we're talking about the posterior compression in the pelvis, what we're going to actually see as we get this front to back compressive strategies, we're going to get a reorientation of the sockets if you will. So this occurs in both the shoulder and the hip. It's a little bit easier to see actually in the shoulder because it ends up looking like a shrugged orientation, which is the socket turning up and out to capture the externally rotated position. In the pelvis, it's still a shrugged representation, but this is actually what anti-orientation is. So anti-orientation is the IR representation, so I can get that inominate to turn enough to point that socket up and out to create the excellent orientated representation. So that's how it occurs, and then we sort of break down a couple of activities that we could use under this circumstance to help start us in this externally rotated representation and move us towards internal rotation. So thank you, Alex. Your question will help a lot of people. Everybody have an outstanding Friday. The podcast should be up sometime on Sunday, and then I will see you all next week.

Okay, what's different? So think rhythm. And you got kids, right? Growing up kids? Boys. Okay. Um, any of them married? Yep. Were you in the wedding? Yep. Did you have to go down the aisle? Yep. You know, wedding marches. Where they do the step together, step together. If I'm dragging the sled and I don't want to create interference with the step pattern, how am I going to coach Michelle to step as she initiates this?

Yeah, it's the superficial stuff that takes it away. So you can take the narrowest of narrows that should have like crazy external rotation bias, squeeze them front to back, and you can take away their internal rotation. Cool. Thank you. You're welcome. Yes, thank you. Good morning, happy Thursday. I have no coffee in hand. And it is perfect.

Awesome. That's very helpful.

Okay, so which direction is the sacrum facing in a right foot lead? Any kind of right foot lead, like a stagger stance or a split squat?

Well, I guess in my head, I wasn't thinking about the concentric part. I was thinking more about the reaching and stretching part more than... okay, so hang on, dude, hang on, dude.

Well, that's definitely one of them. But let's stay on the topic of hips. Imagine you're a cowboy in the old West with a holster and gun on your hip. Put your hand flat against the side of your hip and slide it down to where your fingertips are. What's that bone? What do we call the little sharp, protruding part there? If you were lying on your side in a low oblique sit, that bone would be on the ground.

But in this case, the leg press would be proximal to distal. Okay. So rather than open versus closed kinetic chain, look at where the wave starts and goes to. So in the extension, it goes from the load on the knee towards the proximal part of the foot.

What were you doing? So yet I'm in a high oblique. What activity were you doing?

Yeah.

Do they use orange cones where you live to mark, like, working in the streets and stuff?

Okay.

Absolutely. Understand the rule. This is where a little anatomy goes a long way. What position is the scapula in? That tells me about the orientations of the musculature. Then I superimpose the delay strategies on top of it, which is my connective tissue behaviors. That's how I recreate early, middle, and late.

Because the tibia is turning as you're walking. So it's starting to turn and it pushes the foot into the ground, so you need to bring the arch down. The tibia starts to translate across, and so that requires a downward force to do that. It's not that the tibia has to move over the foot; it's just the fact that I have to get the internal rotation mechanics into the ground. And then that's what makes it useful. So I don't need to demonstrate full excursion during the activity to gain more excursion in regards to the range of motion. I need the mechanics. So again, this is a middle representation. So anything that I need for middle, like single leg stance or pushing off a single leg, this becomes a very useful activity.

Overcoming.

Jack, do you want to say it?

I have to get ready to take the national exam. I just want to confuse myself with what they think ER is and what you're thinking. So I was just trying to make sure I got those two clear so I wouldn't get it confused. Okay, ER of what? We're talking about, initially you're talking about ER of the, I think shoulder and. Okay. You're talking about the scapular, right?

That's what she's doing.

No, that's not true. See, that's not true. That's not true. What happens if I give you a load that is beyond your ability to lower yourself and raise yourself? Why can't you go up and down? What does up and down require that you're capable of doing?

We have to look at the mechanics of what's happening here. You only have so many options. Right. In fact, you got two.

Right. Yeah, we'll never know everything, huh?

Shoulder, shoulder stuff, elbow stuff.

Yeah, so because I was getting stuck on the front leg, because I was thinking like, if you have a flatter turn, you are oriented into that ER. Yes, sir. But you have nowhere else to go. So when you start to descend, you start to collapse, whereas with the oblique hang on and kind of already there, you're kind of already in the IR position.

Right. But again, that's going to be dependent on the individual as far as their capacity to learn something new. And then what were there initial parameters in regards to my connected tissue behaviors. You can't make somebody into something that they don't have the potential for. Okay. Everybody follows the general rules, but everybody's going to have a limit as to what their capabilities are, which is unfortunate. We all can't be superheroes. Good morning. Happy Friday. I have neural coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right. Okay. Leading into the holiday weekend. For those of you who celebrate, we're going to dig straight in today's Q&A. This is with Matt. Matt had a great question in regards to the progression of a narrow ISA as they move forward through space in what we're going to see. So we're going to see elements of anti-orientation. We're going to see what eventually becomes what is often termed a swayback situation. And then how is that constructed and what does it actually represent? It gets misconstrued as a posterior tilting, if you will, of the pelvis, which is probably not accurate, is a forward movement through space. And so we talk about how we see this progression and measures that you actually may see that will help you recognize the fact that that anterior orientation persists as you move through space. We also have to consider some configuration elements of the axial skeleton itself and so if we have a pelvis circumference that is larger than the thoracic circumference, we're going to have a much more significant downward force, which is going to take the center of gravity down and forward, which is going to predispose people more towards that sway back representation. So that was not discussed in this discussion, but I wanted to throw that out there for you as an element of consideration. For those of you who are looking for more information in regards to the configuration, please go to the YouTube channel. If you put configuration into the search blank there, you're going to find a couple of videos that are going to help give you some background on what we mean by configurations and their influence. Everybody have an outstanding holiday weekend podcast will be up on Sunday. Don't forget to subscribe to the YouTube channel and I'll see you next week. I am doing quite well. Thank you.

Hang on. So you're on the right track. Take that representation. So you're looking at somebody from the front in your drawings. Take that, grab a hold of that thorax that you drew and then tilt it. So you're going to be looking down on it.

Yeah. So the bias for humans in standing is nutation and what would be a relative internal rotation of the ilium. Right. So you have to look at it from perspective because if I am if I am. Right. If I anteriorly orient the pelvis. Okay. That's locking everything together. And I still might be like that, right? If I'm a wide guy with anterior-orientation, my relative position would still be that, okay? So if you say anterior-orientation of the pelvis, I'm assuming that everything's going together from whatever representation we started with. That would be the relative motion between the ilium and the sacrum. Does that clarify your thought process?

Because she's having this for a couple of years already and it's progressing, it's getting worse. And she was with, I don't know, 10 therapists or so and nobody could actually help her.

Yeah, I wasn't sure. No, that's it.

Okay. Hip flexion is an ER measure. Spine flexion is an ER measure. Yes. So let's use, let's use traditional hip flexion here. So have you ever taken someone's leg into like full hip flexion and compressed their thigh against their belly? You think that's hip motion? No. What is it? What's moving when you do that? How do you get a, like literally how do you get somebody's thigh to compress against their chest? Because in school, they told you that the hip joint has 120 degrees of traditional flexion, right?
