This weeks topics:
0:00 This Q&A is with Bori, Cameron, and Anat as we discuss application of oscillatory methods to reduce or optimize muscle tension. We can apply them to patients/clients and even to ourselves. You’ll often see athletes use them pre-event to help them feel prepared for their event.
07:24 This Q&A is with Bori who is working with a client who has some knee issues and some very telling signs that will lead treatment. This gives us an opportunity to review some of the relationships between the foot and rest of the lower extremity.
13:32 This Q&A is part 1 of a conversation with Matt who is recognizing the limited perspective of a structural-reductionist model in regard to determining ideal positions for specific activity. Branding a muscle as weak requires a much deeper explanation than making an assumption that there is just something limiting at the actual muscle level. Position always matters.
22:15 This Q&A is Part 2 with Matt as we continue talking about the influence of pelvis, joint, and muscle position as an influence on what is perceived as isolated muscle weakness. Positional testing provides us with perspective on why some may believe that the problem lies within an individual muscle rather than understanding the systemic influence. This also provides an understanding of the coordinative strategy to execute a lift like a heavy deadlift.

0:00 This Q&A is with Zach who is working with a baseball player with lateral elbow pain (aka tennis elbow). Zach is doing great work to resolve symptoms but his patient is still lacking full traditional elbow extension and feels weakness in his hand. We walk through how to address each element including how to visualize the position at the elbow. BTW, got an update from Zach and he nailed it with treatment and got back the elbow range of motion!
13:03 This Q&A is with Cameron that ended up with an explanation of why you must be patient and recognize that you’re playing a long game in regard to your meaningful work. Consistency with your efforts over a long time to acquire knowledge and then applying it to produce quality experience is how you will improve.
16:49 This Q&A is with Alexsander (hope I’m spelling that correctly!) who had a great foundational question about hip measures. This allowed us to review how we can identify what our measures actually represent in regard to what is producing the movement we observe.
24:27 This Q&A is with Zach who is working with a baseball player showing some back pain when he swings a bat. The pain is difficult to reproduce otherwise, but Zach has already done a great job in cleaning up the symptoms. This discussion looks at why the pain may have been present in the first place.
