    Season 17 Number 6

    This weeks topics: 

    1. 0:00 Early vs. Late Hip External Rotation – Q&A is with Thenasis who had a question about hip external rotation measures. We lose and gain movement depending on context and pelvis orientation. This is a great review to help you understand hip ER.

    2. 4:33 Clawed Toes – Q&A is with Manuel who is identifying a representation of a late propulsive foot behavior while the foot is on the ground. The result is often seen in the clawing of the toes. Here’s a description of how that happens.

    3. 9:53 Turning a Right Oblique Orientation – Q&A is with Cameron who is working through the processs of promoting the left turn toward starting conditions for a Wide ISA archetype. Positioning, process, and foot cues will all provide an influence for a favorable outcome.

    4. 22:32 Understanding Foot Contacts – Q&A is part 2 with Cameron with an assist from Dale. We discuss how we use foot contacts to direct changes in sacral orientation and shift the center of gravity depending on archetype. Why do we spend less time talking about the 5th metatarsal head vs the 1st?

    This weeks topics: 

    1. Posterior shoulder impingement – This Q&A is with Ian who had a question regarding posterior shoulder pain/impingement (aka internal impingement). We discuss how this evolves relative to each of the Wide or Narrow ISA archetypes.
    2. Elbow pain and exercise selection – This Q&A is with Thanasis who is working with a client with some broad pain complaints but some very focal symptoms in her elbows. This gave us an opportunity to break down the low oblique and prone activities as well as discuss common compensations we’ll see as we attempt to put clients in optimal positions for exercise.
    3. Shin splints – 2 presentations – This Q&A is with Jordan who is working with two patients both with diagnoses of shin splint but with differing symptoms. Not all shin splints are created equal. Different symptoms are often associated with differing behaviors. The better our understanding of contributing factors, the better our solutions.
    4. Patellar tendinitis and joint orientation – This Q&A is with Stewart who is working with an athlete with patellar tendon pain. Extremity and muscle orientation will play a strong role in producing the resultant symptoms. Stewart gives us a great representation of what to look for with these anterior knee diagnoses.

    This weeks topics:

    0:00 This is a short one with Dante who had a foundational question on pelvis shape and position between the Narrow ISA and wide ISA archetypes. Structure is different, so tendencies and behavior follows.

    2:38 This Q&A is with Thenasis who had a question about how to reverse engineer the wide and narrow ISA archetype position. To know where to take them, you need to understand where they came from and how they got there.

    8:26 This Q&A is with Jake concerning the contributing factors of what appears to be a left or a right hip shift in a squat. We break down right and left in regard to Narrow ISA vs. Wide ISA as well.

    16:35 This Q&A is with Kevin who had a question about the common finding on x-ray of a straightened cervical spine. Discussion covers a bit about how it will arise on a wide ISA individual and how we want to address thorax influences to assist with recapturing useful positions and movement.

    This weeks topics: 

    0:00 Gravity Reduced vs. Upright Activities – Today’s Q&A is with Zach who is making good changes with one of his athletes but recognized the loss of relative movement in upright activities vs. gravity reduced positions. The influence of gravity will alter strategy even though one may seem to demonstrate full relative movement in table tests. This will require further progression of your interventions and maybe some assistance from orthoses.

    7:02 Anterior-Posterior expansion in side lying – Today’s Q&A is with Misha who is working with a client strongly compressed anterior-posterior. He has tried using a rolling behavior that showed less than desired improvement. We talked through strategies to progressively promote the expansion in side lying via positioning and extremity movement.
