Gotcha. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That makes sense.

You literally, you set her up in ER, you moved her through IR, you did the right thing. Because when you get anterior knee pain, like, and again, it's not going to matter too much as to which knee, but the back knee, anterior knee pain in a split stance is always somebody that cannot capture the IR representation.

Correct. I mean, you're absolutely right. That would be typical because again, they understand the dynamic nature of it, but they don't have the strategy available to them. One of the simplest things to do actually is one of the oscillatory activities. So you put them just above where you would want them to take the dip, have them ramp up all of the tension. So you create the exhalation strategy, and then you have them release it, boom. And so you create this little oscillation. And so that's what I would do versus just trying to stop and say hold, and this is your spot. I would play with that, like literally creating an oscillation in that position. I've got a, a deeper representation of that. It might be under, it's either like an oscillatory squat or a reactive squat on my YouTube page. But all you got to do is pick the right depth. And you can just like literally just teaching them to create tension, release, and then retention again. That's In my mind, it's just a better way to, to teach that versus just the static hold.

Okay. So, I'm wondering kind of related to the things that have been mentioned so far specifically about the split squat and the knee driving out. Related to some of my experience now, I am experiencing, and rightfully so, some hesitancy in coaching, because I'm aware that the model to which I was coaching exercises is not the way I would like to see now in terms of compression and expansion with movement. And so I am wondering if it is possible to indeed overcoach a movement to get it to look a certain way, but you're actually not achieving the relative position that we're looking for. So is it more a question of like, if you can put them in the position and they can get there with some ease, you don't have to fight them to get there? Then that's a good sign they have relative motion. I mean, coaching aside, whether you coach them well into the position is another argument or another discussion with the right cues, needing intent and whatever. But is it better to just not overcoach? Just like, all right, you can't get the requisite position. That's not the right exercise selection choice or positional choice for you right now. And then understand the why.

On the left.

Not very hard.

Okay, so in both those examples you gave, nothing really happens at the proximal femur until later.

Grace. Thank you. You're welcome.

Two archetypes, four phases of propulsion, four configurations, seven components of force.

I would try to, you know what? To be honest, I'm not sure off the top of my head.

You're right. That's why I appreciate about your model and your process is that It's all based off of the context of the person you're working with. And it's of individual needs of what they're working towards, but also wherever that person is at, at the current time. And also age, because people are going to change their shape over time based off of what they're doing in their lives on a day to day. That's also going to change too.

I see what you mean. Same thing with the cats. They don't know how to move backwards.

Just ask me.

And not in the actual hip joint. Okay.

How long ago?

And I'm trying to get something.

So, like patellar tendon inferior pole of the patella. So where's it getting choked?

Good morning. Happy Thursday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect.

I create something that fills that space that allows the mechanics to come up from the ground. So if I have a foot that does not change shape, I have to provide an intervention that accommodates that space.

Keep in mind, if you're doing it with a narrow stance, you have to be really, really careful because you have to ensure you're not bumping into their compensatory strategy. That might be a case where instead of that forward bendy position, you use something along the lines of a rear foot elevated split squat, which would be similar and involve the lower extremity a little more. That might be an even better choice for a narrow stance because they don't have the capability of achieving the nutated position you would want for that type of activity. However, when you involve the lower extremities, you now have something that might be useful for them. Do you see the difference in the center of gravity? A wide stance has the ability to shift the center of gravity posterior, but the narrow stance doesn't. So don't push them into it.

It's still over. Yeah. You see, you see what I'm getting at? It's like, so, so, so we're going to take them all the way, all the way to the opposing representation. So I know that I have a middle available to me because how big is middle?

Correct, again, teaching them to dampen those forces. So this is where, again, you're going to increase time, right? So it's like putting somebody on a trampoline and increasing the duration of the yield, right? You're playing with time, right? And so now you are talking about connective tissue behavior. Right, but if you look at the internal forces and then you look at how much of a delay that you're creating, like how fast is the body turning relative to what's going on inside? And then you can sort of see the, and they always compare it to like waves crashing into the rocks. It's like how hard do you want the wave to crash into the rocks? And that's determined by how quickly you move the body into a position because the guts are going in the same direction, they're just coming with a slight delay relative to the body. And that's what you're manipulating with elastic resistance.

So they're both going to be in an ER representation. This one's going to push forward against the sacrum to turn it into the right leg. This one moves back. So there are two ER representations. The early representation is the sacrum moving back on the ilium. The late representation is the ilium moving forward on the sacrum. They're not the same thing. This one has connective tissue behaviors that are overcoming. The connective tissues are behaving in an energy releasing or stiffer representation. These are actually creating sort of like a little parachute where it creates a slowdown on this side. This is where you store the energy. Then in the downswing, it reverses gears. And then in follow-through, it's the opposite.

Yes.

Yeah, I haven't actually done that on this guy, but that was the reference you made in the video.

I think he's working in Las Vegas or something. Um, no idea. Anyway, that's what I was trying to do—drive a bit of this year, lower rib cage extension, but that still gets me pain. So, she does get a bit of hamstring involvement with something like a wall sit with a reach and so forth.

Yep.

Right.

Say yes. Yes.

Okay. What carry do you not want to do?
