A Dynamic Infrasternal Angle Test Example
A lot of practitioners misunderstand the value and assessment of the infrasternal angle (ISA) to determine effective interventions that restore respiratory variability.
While you’ll see changes in the extremes of wide vs. narrow ISA with effective interventions, physical structure determines the appearance (wide or narrow) and the available compensatory strategies that may be limiting movement capabilities.
Here is a pretty good example of a dynamic ISA.

Announcement: The Intensive V
We just wrapped The Intensive IV. Are you ready for round V?
The first four Intensives were outstanding experiences. Each was unique as the curriculum is driven by the attendees.
As always, we are keeping this small to maximize the interactivity. Only 8 professionals will be selected from the application process.
If you applied to The Intensive I-IV before and would like to attend, please fill out a new application. One attendee from The Intensive IV had applied for the third time and got in.
The When and Where
April 11-14 at IFAST (and Casa de Hartman) in Indianapolis, Indiana. We start at 8pm on Thursday the 11st (unless you can make dinner at 6:30 at my favorite Mexican restaurant). We go until Sunday, April 14th at about noon. When we get hungry, we eat. When we get tired, we sleep.
The Who
Up to eight (8) professionals (It is NOT for students) who:
Are comfortable with contributing ideas, asking, and answering questions.
Have an understanding of foundational movement-based anatomy and exercise/training concepts.
Want to challenge and help other professionals improve.
Understand the value of a coach and seek a learning network of individuals with common concerns, interests, and goals but different backgrounds.
Selfishly, it’s for me. I enjoy what I do, and I enjoy sharing ideas and interacting with bright, motivated people from whom I too can learn.
The What
A fun, open, engaging, and challenging environment
Guided, focused effort over three days
Develop a principles-based approach
Examining a model of human movement from micro to macro
Assessment processes from a passive to a dynamic environment
Cuing, coaching, decision-making, intervention strategies, and programming
Ongoing discussion and conversation over dinner at Casa de Hartman
Enhance and evolve your personal information capture and learning system

Your Comeback Starts Today
It’s easier to make an excuse.
It’s easier to say that “I am ‘this way’ or ‘that way.’”
I’m too tall.
I’m too short.
I’m too thin.
I’m too heavy.
The cat puked on the bed.
I’m not smart enough.
I don’t have time.
I don’t have a choice.
It takes the responsibility from you. Ah, easy. No change required.
When success isn’t immediate, it’s easy to walk away. It wasn’t meant to be.
You could be like a politician and just blame circumstances or someone else.
OR you could take responsibility.
You could invent your own success.
Focus on the process and enjoy every minute of it.
The split second that a player crosses the goal line, that moment is over.
The moment you reach your goal, that moment is over.
It cannot be relived no matter how hard you try.
Define who you are and what you do and be present in the moment.
Then move on to next.
The only thing that continues is the process. Focus on that. That is where happiness lives.
You define your response to circumstances. Circumstances don’t define you.
The best stories are the comebacks.
