  • Q & A for The 16% – Shoulder Impingement – Why and How?

    Q & A for The 16% – Shoulder Impingement – Why and How?

    I have my @neurocoffee as usual but today’s Q&A felt like it would work better with a little help from Alfred in The Purple Room.

    From David:

    I get a lot of left shoulder pain with bench pressing. Any pressing really. I’ve followed the typical recommendations of doing ITYW exercise, face pulls, and rotator cuff strengthening with rubber bands that a PT friend recommended. I’m still having pain and now the shoulder feels stiff too. Any idea how this happens? Any solutions?

    Here’s highlights from the Coffee ’n’ Coaches Conference Call.

    Discussion was knee heavy as a representation of some key topics:

    • Relative motions

    • The imaginary sagittal plane

    • ER’s vs. IR’s

    • Knee range of motion

    • Post-surgical management of knee swelling

    • The influence of tibial rotation on knee range of motion

    Have a great day!

  • Q & A for The 16% – Pelvis and Hip Orientation – Hip Range of Motion

    Q & A for The 16% – Pelvis and Hip Orientation – Hip Range of Motion

    I have a two-fer question and plenty of @neurocoffee for today’s Q & A.

    From Rachel:
    What superficial muscle activity & compensatory strategies would drive a lateral orientation of the hips? How might this present itself – what would we expect to see for a more rightward orientation in the pelvis?

  • Q & A for The 16% – How do Sensory Systems and Neurology Factor into Movement

    Q & A for The 16% – How do Sensory Systems and Neurology Factor into Movement

    A deep, philosophical question for a Monday. This one will take 2 cups of @neurocoffee.

    From Eduard:
    the model of inhalation and exhalation works and it is to your credit to show simple solutions to put a human body into positions to facilitate the desired outcome and to restore normal breathing mechanics and movement options. But i think the we have to acknowledge that it is not only a body or body part position that influences the mechanics of movement and posture but also neurological in and output. Shouldn’t we incorporate the neurology of sensing and the effect of autonomic states into your model?
