So if you're trying to help someone who has pain with squatting and they are kind of like a hingy squat, meaning like they can get to that sticking point and then they get stuck there, and you see kind of compensations on the way, like maybe TL junction, you see that like

I agree with you.

Probably asymmetrical.

The external rotation, yeah, they should have medial foot contacts.

Yes. It's such a simple thought process. And that's why I'm kind of laughing to myself, just not thinking about why I would start the exercise at the beginning but simply doing it because that's the way I've always done it.

All right. Um,

Yeah, I could probably go along with that. But the thing I want you to recognize is like, you have to reduce the duration of middle P and max P stuff because she's already killing herself there. Give her the spectrum so you can move her through it.

Okay.

There you go. But see, when you get something like this, Taya, when you get something like this, the stuff that'll show up, number one, you're gonna have every, like the old school impingement test for the shoulder, all of them will be positive. You'll get medial elbow pain. You'll get lateral wrist pain and carpal tunnel, and all of those other little IR compensatory strategies, okay? So beware, like don't get distracted by the, you know, don't blame the scapula. It's literally trying to just stay home and everything keeps moving away from it, right? So all it's trying to do is trying to stay against the ribcage.

Well, that was fun.

Oh yeah, yeah.

And then again, it's just a matter of what shape the pelvis is in. You have to make that change. You have to get the proximal internal rotation. So the shape change to get the external rotation of the pelvis without the compressive strategy, and superimpose the internal rotation from the top down. He's trying to create a top-down internal rotation, but there's just no relative motion there.

I mean, inhaled lower rib cage.

As a simplest explanation, that is the correct answer. It is rare that there would be one, but she's telling you what she can and cannot do.

Yeah.

That's a really, that's a really powerful point. Just kind of the thought process that, if I want people that I work with to think like I do, I need to start out by thinking like they do. Then they'll slowly start to approximate my way of thinking rather than trying to impose my way of thinking on them. I think it's a really useful reminder for me.

She loves that activity.

Yeah.

Right. And so, there's a gap, a huge gap, which means that you're going to give them a bunch of details that are meaningless to them. What you want to do is you want to put them in situations where they can problem solve themselves as much as possible. So trying to chase perfect is a bad idea. Keep them safe, but let them make safe to fail experiments themselves so they can make their own error corrections. And then maybe you see one thing and you say, 'Hey, did you sense that?' And they go, 'No.' And you go, 'Okay, let's just do that again and let them do stuff and let them figure it out versus you trying to go, 'Hey, do this, do this, do that, do this, do this, right?' And now they've got 17 thoughts in their head and now they know nothing again. So they're back to square one.

Now, go forward first and then go to the right and then go a little bit more to the right and then go a little bit more to the right. You'll feel the difference sort of coming at you, but stay forward. Yeah. Can you see how certain measures will get magnified the farther and farther you go in one direction.

It's exactly, you're exactly right. I'm creating relative motion at the ankle. So if I need to teach somebody how to get an inversion ankle spring solid, that's a great way to do it.

Yeah.

Gradient, E-R-I-R.

Yeah. Got it. Awesome. Thank you.

At what point do I need internal rotation and a cross-connect?

Okay. Get about six inches from the wall. Just stand in front of the wall.

So the question is, if you're wide or narrow, let's go with wide because that's what I... Then that means that is my bias towards inhalation expansion and therefore my compensation is compression exhalation or is it something else?

That means, so whether we're late or whether we're early, it means you've got concentric orientation that's holding that arch up.

Yes. Yeah.

Okay. Now, did you do it sequentially?
