    The Bill Hartman Podcast for The 16%

    Season 17 Number 5

    This weeks topics: 

    1. Posterior shoulder impingement – This Q&A is with Ian who had a question regarding posterior shoulder pain/impingement (aka internal impingement). We discuss how this evolves relative to each of the Wide or Narrow ISA archetypes.
    2. Elbow pain and exercise selection – This Q&A is with Thanasis who is working with a client with some broad pain complaints but some very focal symptoms in her elbows. This gave us an opportunity to break down the low oblique and prone activities as well as discuss common compensations we’ll see as we attempt to put clients in optimal positions for exercise.
    3. Shin splints – 2 presentations – This Q&A is with Jordan who is working with two patients both with diagnoses of shin splint but with differing symptoms. Not all shin splints are created equal. Different symptoms are often associated with differing behaviors. The better our understanding of contributing factors, the better our solutions.
    4. Patellar tendinitis and joint orientation – This Q&A is with Stewart who is working with an athlete with patellar tendon pain. Extremity and muscle orientation will play a strong role in producing the resultant symptoms. Stewart gives us a great representation of what to look for with these anterior knee diagnoses.

    This weeks topics:

    0:00 This is a short one with Dante who had a foundational question on pelvis shape and position between the Narrow ISA and wide ISA archetypes. Structure is different, so tendencies and behavior follows.

    2:38 This Q&A is with Thenasis who had a question about how to reverse engineer the wide and narrow ISA archetype position. To know where to take them, you need to understand where they came from and how they got there.

    8:26 This Q&A is with Jake concerning the contributing factors of what appears to be a left or a right hip shift in a squat. We break down right and left in regard to Narrow ISA vs. Wide ISA as well.

    16:35 This Q&A is with Kevin who had a question about the common finding on x-ray of a straightened cervical spine. Discussion covers a bit about how it will arise on a wide ISA individual and how we want to address thorax influences to assist with recapturing useful positions and movement.

    Season 17 Number 2

    This weeks topics: 

    0:00 Gravity Reduced vs. Upright Activities – Today’s Q&A is with Zach who is making good changes with one of his athletes but recognized the loss of relative movement in upright activities vs. gravity reduced positions. The influence of gravity will alter strategy even though one may seem to demonstrate full relative movement in table tests. This will require further progression of your interventions and maybe some assistance from orthoses.

    7:02 Anterior-Posterior expansion in side lying – Today’s Q&A is with Misha who is working with a client strongly compressed anterior-posterior. He has tried using a rolling behavior that showed less than desired improvement. We talked through strategies to progressively promote the expansion in side lying via positioning and extremity movement.

    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.
