Maybe they don't fully understand this.

I was thinking that, but that's helpful along the same lines—it's pretty much what I can do within the facility. I was trying to think of where else we could unpack the overwhelm of pressure and help them be more aware of the force produced in the activity by having them be partially unweighted. I was wondering if there would be value in having them not necessarily meditate at home, but just do some relaxed, prolonged breathing—perhaps not even in a specific position, like just on their back with their feet up on a chair or in a half-lying position—simply to breathe in and out and try to feel their body expand and contract, without even attempting to reset. The goal would be to create a practice for attending to physical sensation while keeping their values in mind.

direction. All right.

Okay. So if you're late, as a representation of the, muscular component of the lower leg where she was symptomatic. What would be the representation of the muscle orientation and then the connective tissue behavior in that position?

Sorry, did you say adduction or abduction? AB, AB. Okay. When someone's on their back with their knee pointing to the ceiling. That was the question?

Yes, I trained on a half field.

Yeah.

Okay, I get it.

Right. I understand that. When I work with half kneeling, I find it pretty effective at addressing the twists at the hips, and then we can go from there. When I'm working overhead, I don't have an equivalent position that I can think about. I can do stuff for AP expansion, but I feel like I'm doing it in pieces rather than integrated.

It's not an either-or; it's just a yes. That's how it works. Right.

The right glenoid would be pointing outwards, like into more of an ER orientation.

So as simple as your question seems to be, there is complexity in it, but you can fall back on your principles and you say, okay, where is this person going to apply that force? In what circumstance do they apply that force? At what rate do they apply that force? Because I have a time constraint under most situations, right? What direction is that force being applied? So there are a few questions to answer, but I think they are answerable. And then you rely on process after that, where you say, OK, here's what I thought was going on. Here's what I thought we needed to do. And here was the outcome. Is that favorable? Good. Then let's amplify that and let's reinforce it and see what happens. Was it the less desired outcome? Okay. Let's dampen that. Let's try another strategy, right? And again, you have to be incremental in your process, right? Because you just don't know. I mean, we can talk on principle, but you don't know until you do something.

Yeah.

So it's just giving them the ability to expand there because there's no compensatory strategy layered on top.

So it would be mostly magnitude and rate. So higher magnitude is going to increase the degree of stiffness of connective tissues because the load would be instantaneous under those. So in both cases, you could have a magnitude that would promote a stiffness, an overcoming action of the connective tissues.

Yes.

Because they are already into IR.

Wonderful.

Yes.

So are they better at yielding?

Oh, yeah, yeah, certainly.

Okay, I get it. And I push this forward.

Just the opposite.

Yeah. And you being so immersed in your craft and like with a creative mind, but how do you detach that side of yourself when you're supposed to be in a party and you're amongst people, you want to have a great time with people, but you're like observing people like, okay, his ear space is out. Okay, this is Darcy Russell compression. Like, how do you switch off that side and just live in the moment and enjoy because I've been going through this and, why would I ever do that?

Yes, so I was just wondering about, first of all, I'm aware of the threshold. I was wondering if the exercise itself, if the thinking of the placement and the pressure was accurate.

Flexion, abduction and ER.

Yep.

Go.

Yeah.

Yes.
