Can we write that one down? We're going to use that one.

It's going up into awesome.

Yeah. But they could still be compressed forward, right? Okay. So what do your measures tell you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Bill, what would be a case where that would work? Because I feel like you have to address the orientation first before even using bands. So where would bands be like the home run move?

Down. What? Oh, hang on. What direction would your arm move? Not the fluid. What was your arm move up? It would move up because you push the fluid underneath the shoulder joint and it lifts your arm up, right? Get it?

I think it's pretty pandemic.

Rest of them are still pushing, but they're not strong enough. Okay. So we're going to go out to the parking lot. And we're going to get 10 guys and we're going to lift up my Jeep. So 10 guys pick my Jeep up. Got it?

Right.

Curtained off.

Yeah, not much.

Thank you.

Hang on one second. Are you talking about, so his knee is moving immediately when he's hitting? Is that what you're saying?

Got it. Very cool. Thank you.

Hopefully not.

Take a toilet paper roll and smush it between your hands and slowly close it up. That's it. So it's like that pressure, that pressure goes directly against the helical orientation. So instead of having this nice roll that will go back and forth between your hands, you do this and it turns like this. That's orientation, which means that everything's moving together. I no longer have the ability. So when helices move relative to one another, they twist and they compress and then they open and they expand. That's what relative motion looks like. If I squeeze it and I can't twist it anymore, now they do this. We make a little joke about rolling a refrigerator. That gives you that nice little representation. Literally, that's what you've created. You've created two flat sides that you're just flipping over.

You mentioned the areas where she is releasing. So it's the strategy to expand somewhere where she is compressed first and then try to see somewhere else and do some other stuff. I mean, there's a chance she's compressed somewhere else, correct?

Can we just take that exercise up to 90 and see how that changes? What's the difference? Because you've now moved into more of an IR space at 90. But you're externally rotating. How are you closing? Hang on. Hang on, boss. Hang on, boss. OK. So you have moved the shoulder away from midline.

Yeah.

Well, you have two options and you get to choose. One, you don't measure it because you can't get a true position, or you take them there and see what happens. So you have a comparison for after you intervene, because you know if you can't get them there, where's the concept of orientation that's interfering? So right away, you kind of know what you're looking at. But if you want to have a comparison for a before and after, then go ahead and take them to where you would typically do your traditional measures so you can compare the before and after. With the understanding that you're in compensation land, but it can still provide you information as the comparison. So for instance, I had a guy yesterday who probably came in with maybe 60 degrees of hip flexion. I took him all the way up to the traditional measure and he had like 25 degrees of total hip excursion in internal and external right rotation. I expected that; it was not a surprise. But I have a comparison on the paper. In the same representation, I could have somebody who is compressed anterior to posterior to such a degree that they come in and they might have 70 degrees of external rotation and minus five degrees of internal rotation at 90 degrees and still have limited hip flexion. That tells me another piece of information: I now have somebody that is turning elsewhere. You see why it can become valuable. It's just a matter of identifying what the potential representations are. So from a treatment standpoint, it doesn't really change anything as to how you're going to initiate it, but it does give you the comparison.

So you're pretty much medial, flip heavy because you don't want to pull out.

Yes, but I also have measures that are representative of certain things that they may need. And most of the programs that you see that have been effective for someone, they are historical representations of what was done. They weren't pre-written and then they followed it and they go, wow, look at this great outcome. They were changing it on the fly constantly. And then they kept track and then they said, here's the program that we did. And then everybody tries to do that program. And then they go, oh, it didn't work for me. Well, no kidding, because it wasn't written for you. And it wasn't the way that programs exist. It's like, programs change on a constant basis. You should have some kind of structure to it, but don't decoder it.

That would change the way a lot of coaches think about how they train for power, I think.

Right.

Okay.

You don't lose interrotation right away. But if I keep pushing you forward, it starts to disappear very quickly.

You have a narrow window. The way that they create internal rotation is to lean over and limp, right? That's how they advance one side. It would be like walking. So here you go. Get two really big blocks of cement and wear them in shoes. Okay. And then try to walk and try to advance one leg and then the other leg and then the other leg. That's kind of how you'd have to walk.

I have two. There's two extremes. You have one that's biased towards expansion. You have one that's biased towards compression because those are the only two strategies that exist. The wide ISA archetype is someone that is biased towards a compressive strategy by structure. The narrow ISA archetype is someone that's biased towards an inhalation biased strategy because of their physical structure. Because the goal is to maintain position against gravity, right? So there's only two ways I can do it. I can squeeze myself and compress it and make myself rigid. And so anything that tries to push me down, I push back against because I'm rigid or I'm the wacky wavy tube guy and I fill up with air and that holds me up. So the structure determines the strategy because that's the constraint. It tells me what you're capable of. Right. And so you'll just be biased in that direction. Doesn't mean you can't do both. Doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that, uh, why did I say it's never expand? It's just that they're not as good at it as other people. And then you, again I have to speak from my experience because, um, I see the extremes. I get to see them. Right. I don't see average people. Average people don't have problems because they don't do things. They're not good at anything. They're kind of okay at a lot of stuff, right? And I will tell my average story. So they live average lives. They marry an average spouse. They have two average kids. They live in an average neighborhood. They have an average house. They live to be 78 to 82 years old. They live an average life and they're very, very happy that way, but they never, they don't get hurt. They don't perform well because they're just average.

So the context of this is I asked you about this girl that I'm working with once or twice. A soccer player that's having back pain with running. She's doing a lot better now. Over winter break, I was doing remote work with her through mock drills to help with her sprinting. She's feeling a lot better with those, which now kind of live in her warm-up. We were able to get through some rolling acceleration starts last time.
