    Q & A for The 16% – Strategies to Overcome a Right Shift in Your Squat

    It’s Squat Week!

    Today is a follow-up question from yesterday when I talked about left shifts in the squat, so today is a right shift question.  Grap your @neurocoffee and let’s dig in.

    From Alex:

    Would all the same strategies apply for a right hip shift or would it be somewhat different? I know you have shown different approaches depending on which side you’re talking about so thats why I’m curious.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Left Shift in a Squat/Left Sacrum Compression

    Q & A for The 16% – Left Shift in a Squat/Left Sacrum Compression

    Here’s a client case for today’s Q & A that may be of interest. Sit back with your @neurocoffee and enjoy.

    From Dori:

    I have a client with an ongoing sense of pressure in the left sacral area and left upper back/lower cervical area when she squats. She shifts to the left when she squat but It gets a little better each set of squats but it does persist. She’s limited in end range hip flexion but not SLR which is about 100, hip external rotation is limited, shoulder flexion is limited on the left but not so much on the right. She’ll often complain of soreness after hinging activities in her left hamstrings. any strategy that may be helpful to alleviate the pressure and hamstring soreness would be appreciated.

    Q & A for The 16% – Neck Range of Motion Testing and Training

    Neck stiffness and range of motion limitations are quite common and can get magnified by various training strategies.

    Here’s a question to lead us toward a way to monitor progress even if you don’t do manual therapy as part of your practice.

    Grab a @neurocoffee and give this a watch.

    From Adrian:

    I have an athlete with a great deal of neck limitation who appears to be very compressed in the upper ribs. Are there any other good tests that can lead me toward a solution or let me know that I’m making progress short of trying to assess neck mobility directly? Does compression of the manubrium affect neck position and movement?
