This week’s questions for the Q & A:
- If I’m looking at an asymmetrical ISA am I just looking at someone who is constantly turning right?
Should I get them turning Left or focus uniform expansion first? - Do you assess ISA in people with TOS? Usually their scapulae are depressed and they have decreased thoracic kyphosis (from what I’ve seen) which would be indicative of a wide ISA. I’ve never heard anyone assessing it as a part of the treatment so it would be nice if you could expand on that a little bit.
- What’s the origin of 16%?
- Why is the posterior pelvis, which “starts” in an inhaled orientation, exhaled? Why does the entire pelvis orient anteriorly secondary to compression in the thorax? If an anterior pelvis orientation yields a “mess” of hip IR, what’s the situation with the wide/powerlifting type folk that very much live in anterior orientation yet often have IR of 0. Sincerely appreciate all that you do, and hoping to make an intensive one of these rounds!
- In a perfect world, do we start at the “first” compensation? I.e. teach the wides to exhale the ISA and teach the narrows to inhale the ISA, and see what changes?
- I think you link concentric exhale biased strategies with weightlifters/strength/hypertrophy. But I also thought training the eccentric improved strength. I think my question is – can you bias your training towards eccentric/inhalation based exercises to improve movement variability and still improve strength/hypertrophy?
- Re your box squat video. I think you mentioned that you would dive deeper into this exercise. If you do I am definitely very keen to learn more about how you bias it for your wide ISA clients.
- Do fascial lines even matter when it comes to assessing an individual and/or programming?
- Could you please go over in more detail how anterior to posterior compression of the pelvis restricts hip motion?
