Okay. And so, so when you do a mobilization of any kind, what you should be doing. So if you're mobilizing a foot, okay. Let's just say you're trying to get a midfoot pronation. What orientation should the rest of that body be in? It should be a midfoot pronation. Yeah, because you know why? Because it would interfere with your foot mobilization, wouldn't it? It's like, okay, as soon as I try to send a signal from the foot, approximately, what's going to kick back to me? Right? Cause that's what's going to happen. Like when you're mobilizing a foot, you're creating a transfer of energy into that system, right? And it's going to reflect back to you. So if I'm trying to mobilize a midfoot pronation and I don't have somebody oriented in the right body position and they're kicking back an ER wave at me as I'm trying to mobilize a foot into midfoot pronation, good luck with that. And now you know why some of your mobilizations fail because you didn't have the orientation. Right? But they don't tell you that because everything's looking, they're giving you a structural reductionist representation saying, oh, this knee is a separate entity. It does things all by itself. It's like, no, it doesn't. And then they go as far to tell you, in school, I know they told you this in school, because it's a standard rule of PT. It's like, you always go and join above and join below. And you're like, if you got a knee, you got to look at the hip, you got to look at the foot. But then they don't tell you why or how. They just say, it's really important that you look at both. And they go, okay, that's great. But I don't know what that means. What is the big deal? What is the difference that I have to appreciate in the hip if I have a knee that does this? They don't go far enough in the explanation. Right? So they appreciate what it was at regional interdependence. Yeah. I think it is the term that they give you in school. It's like they appreciate the concept, but they don't have any way to explain it to you as to its value. Right?
