Okay.

It's probably an undesirable adaptation because it doesn't really feel great all the time. You know, it's like it's like this is why this is why you have to get really good with exercise selection because then you don't have to do as much manual therapy.

Straight down, there you go. You have now limited the number of exercises available, but you're also gonna be a lot more accurate. So straight down to big deal, straight down to big deal for narrows.

Right.

Awesome. Spine is no different, okay? So you get ER orientation, interrotation compression. You get ER orientation, interrotation compression. So you end up with a spinal canal that looks like that. Okay? That's why you don't drive more IR into the spine because they're already compressed to A to P. They're getting wider side to side. So if you look at the spinal canals on people that have been diagnosed with stenosis, you never see somebody that is compressed side to side that is under those circumstances. All stenosis is gonna be an AP compression.

Oh, okay. Yeah.

I haven't been on the calls in four or five weeks.

On either side, she's got nothing.

They become like super posed.

All right, well, that's awesome. I love that story. Yeah, don't forget that.

What?

I'm guessing in supine, you probably have more compressive force because it's falling onto it. When we're looking from the front?

Understood. And then, yeah, I'm not a big fan of that. But like I said, it's one of those things that makes me uncomfortable because all I feel like I'm doing is inflicting pain. But like I said, it's like if the desired outcome is pure range of motion, you can spray a joint to do that.

Right.

Yeah, but it's going to be on the ground in the ER representation. Yes. The IR is just the weight pushing. Yes.

That's right. Exactly. Yeah. Got it. Got it. So you're giving them more time, so to speak, in that early representation, right?

Yeah, to get internal rotation, but then you're also kind of using yourself or you're pushing your femur into the hip to kind of.

Yes.

Greater trochanter.

Yeah.

No, it wasn't.

Yeah.

It goes for any split activity. Same principle.

You're going to start to, because again, the spine's going to turn. When the spine turns away to the right, you get a side bend in the opposite direction. It's turning, so it closes the space. So I'm turning to the right, side bending to the left. It's lots. Non-neutral, non-neutral mechanics.

Right. Okay. And then if you were working with a wide ISA individual and they're on more of an oblique angle than potentially the chop with a similar joint position would be coming from the side, maybe, or would that actually create interference?

Exactly right. Why?

Something like that. Yeah. I think there's a video, but I'm stepping back with both sides. You can see me changing the position of the handles. You're just going to bias it in one direction, right? Because you're only trying to recapture that right side first.

Okay. So let's go back to the kettlebell swing example. I'm going to give you a kettlebell and you only get to use one hand.

It means there's no expansion available in the hip.

Yes.
