    Season 17 Number 1

    This weeks topics: 

    1. Extremity sequence

    2. Muscle position and movement

    3. Shoulder impingement

    4. Cervical mechanics and shoulder symptoms

    0:00 This is Part 1 with Alex who had a question on how movement is sequenced in an extremity depending on the activity in question. Joint position will influence muscle behavior, and therefore, influences direction of energy and movement.

    6:42 This Q&A is Part 2 of Alex’s question regarding muscle behavior, muscle position, and the influences that may result in what we observe structurally. Much to consider.

    15:38 This Q&A is with David as part of a discussion about a client with shoulder impingement. During discussion we reviewed what an inhale looks like and how the shoulder would be influenced. This allows us to determine the process that resulted in symptoms, and how to reverse engineer the process to resolve them.

    20:55 This Q&A builds on David’s question from yesterday in regard to a client with shoulder impingement. In talking about lower cervical spine mechanics that are needed in this situation, conversation turned toward execution of a hook lying cross connect exercise and proper cuing to get the desired result. Ian stepped in near the end to give the assist.

    This weeks topics: 

    1. Relative Movement/Spine ER vs IR

      0:00 Today’s Q&A is with Anat who had a questions about how we can perceive the spine moving in internal and external rotation which led to a discussion of distinguishing relative movement from orientation. Great foundational questions.

    2. Wide ISA base of support

      11:34 Today’s Q&A is with Zach who is working with a Wide ISA athlete who is having difficulty managing her center of gravity and demonstrating a very strong IR compensatory strategy to maintain control. This is a really good discussion to understand just how far the center of gravity can move, and how to intervene.

    3. Low Oblique Sit

      23:06 Today’s Q&A is with Max who is working with a client in need of an upper extremity positional change. This discussion hits on some key elelments of why, when and how you’d use a low oblique sit. 

    4. Breathing/How Air Moves

      36:20 Today’s Q&A is with Alex who understands how air flow fill the lung on inhalation but wanted clarification on how the lung empties. This is influenced by strategy and structure. Narrow vs. Wide ISA’s will use different strategies and require different cues.

    0:00 Today’s Q&A is with Matt who got permission to share client photos that offer opportunities to identify movement strategies used to manage center of gravity. While photos don’t tell you everything, they expand your ability to determine how and why someone moves the way they do. Be sure to check out my IG account for the visual.

    11:13 Today’s Q&A is part 2 with Matt who is sharing posture photos of the client. We can use these photos to provide clues as to what type of movement strategies that someone may be using to control their center of gravity and how they interact by using their internal and external rotations. Be sure to check out my IG account for the visual.

    22:44 Today’s Q&A is with Teja who is working with a Narrow ISA individual who is using a strong compressive strategy to stay inside of their base of support. In most cases, we just need to move them toward an early propulsive representation to resolve the issue. However, in some cases, reverse engineering requires capturing the ER shape change first. This discussion gives you the understanding with a demo as well.

    32:07 Today’s Q&A is with Dante who had a question regarding training young kids, posture, and how their connective tissue behavior may influence how we work with them in their activities. Kids are not little adults. You must speak their language.
