Do they call them squinting patella?

And at least I can have something to do with her that's not breaking protocol and not kind of putting her at risk upper body weight.

The still femur. Where you got IR and lumbar spine.

I thought I'd continue with the trend of some of the knee questions you're getting today.

Yeah.

Yeah. Perfect. Perfect.

You're coming out of the cut.

Yeah, that again.

Got it. Okay. Cool. That was great. Thank you.

Totally. Like your wife.

If you put somebody in that orientation, that's a wide ISA and you put them face down. You gotta be careful with that because you're potentially pushing them back first, which is what you wouldn't wanna do. It doesn't mean you can't do that. I wouldn't do it first because you don't like, so that would be a situation where you would probably wanna go like a sideline activity and then maybe a half-prone. The sideline gets me the AP, the half-prone starts to create the turning.

So that would be somebody that if they were squatting, it would look like they were going down and to the left. And you would see the same orientation of lower extremities in a squat because when they push the left side forward, the left knee is going to point out into the left, which is the turn.

Somebody's laughing at you laughing. Is that Don laughing? Sorry, Don, I had to mute you because you're giggling and you're making Alex feel bad about himself. So when you, so, so the starting center of gravity is not just the dot on the ground. It's also up and down, right? So your, your wide ISA individual is going to start downward and he's going to move up. Okay. So, so they're going to move up on the left side. That's what, that's what moves them over towards the right, but it's, but it's right posterior first.

When you think about the rate of like how the rate oblique evolves, you're starting with a wide ISA. Center of gravity is low. As they move to control internal forces relative to external, the left side of the pelvis goes up. So if I had a bar on my shoulders, that side would go up. The other side would go down relatively speaking. That's kind of the description that you just gave me.

Is that helpful? Yes, that was very helpful.

Okay.

Yeah, I'll tell them with your permission that I'm doing this.

Okay. So if I had a proximal issue that I was working on, which one makes it easier for me to constrain all the other representations at the ankle and at the knee?

Well, so if fascia covers everything, like everything, right? It's one big piece. It's continuous. Can't I just make a line anywhere that I want if it's all continuous? So is it really such a thing as a fascial line? But there are relationships that produce the effect, so when I talk about helices, helical angles, ERs and IRs, that's what we're talking about. It's like there is a pathway, if you will, that will alter that in very specific manners just because of the way that we are physically structured. And so that's what you're influencing more than anything else. So if you tickle somebody's belly button and they get more, they get the knee gets closer to the wall in that little thingy that you're doing. It's like all you're doing is you're promoting a systemic change that allows you to capture a more optimal representation of everything, right? I'm influencing the tension in the system in a favorable way that allows me to access the space. There's nothing magical about a fascial line, if you will. You're providing a sensory input that promotes a change in the system to allow it to acquire space. The fascia will behave as it will behave based on the rest of the system. It does nothing in isolation by itself.

So she can't produce max IR. So I'm going to use the unaffected side to help increase the amount of IR into the ground as she applies force with her deficit side. It's all going down. Remember, IR is down. You see it?

Yes. I will totally mention that to her.

Back to what you said earlier about destroying ourselves, destroying the tissue. So when you have an ER space and the wave isn't propagated through that space, it stops there. That's when we can potentially have tissue destruction or local stress.

All right. So it does it. So it's going to pull the humerus forward, right?

And now if we take this kind of lens and conceptual lens and drive it even narrower than just a human being and go to movement option, how does entropy interact with compression and expansion? Because in my mind, entropy plays the role of increasing the entropy of compressive force or intention, which would reduce how compressed we are and restore adaptability. And in that sense, people were literally breeding out.

What's the scale?

Yeah.

All you're doing is pushing water around, dude.

No, that's very cool.

So the right leg forward just essentially makes it easier for her to turn her whole body away from that side.

Okay.
