Right. So here's the thing though, Christian, that you got to be really, really careful of. You have to have a pretty decent understanding of what orientation you're looking at from a bony perspective. Because if you have a twist in the tibia, that is the interference. Pushing it into compression is not going to be the solution. It's literally like you're gonna create such a compressed space that you have a fluid compartment that is compressed and there will be no movement. And then the only way that you will make progress is to probably bend something into a position that you would rather not do that to. People do that all the time. When they come see us and they have knee problems, it's because they are bending things as a substitution to the range of motion. That's why we have to mobilize some of these joints to create the orientation to reduce the need for them to utilize a bony bend. I mean, you see all you gotta do is look at somebody with like a bowed leg that comes to see you, right? That's like, why did they do that in the first place? Because that's their substitution for the fact that they don't have normal access to range of motion.
