  • Q & A for The 16% – Early, Mid, and Late Propulsion of the Gait Cycle

    Q & A for The 16% – Early, Mid, and Late Propulsion of the Gait Cycle

    Question: The question I have is regarding the gait cycle and the compression arc. Would you be able to give a demonstration (using a pelvis model) of the orientation of the spine, pelvis, and femur at each stage of propulsion?

    In this video: I break down the gait cycle from inside the pelvis outward to clarify segmenting early, mid, and late propulsion phases.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Deadlift Compensation and Pelvic Outlet Mechanics

    Q & A for The 16% – Deadlift Compensation and Pelvic Outlet Mechanics

    Question: If someone is unable to move hips backward further in a deadlift, ended up rounding the lumbar spine, does it indicate an inability to further nutate sacrum and create compression at the pelvic diaphragm, or does it mean he is not eccentrically orienting enough the pelvic diaphragm to allow actions to happen?
    Thank you

    In this video:

    • A quick review of the difference between a squat and a hinge in regard to pelvic outlet mechanics.
    • What’s the pelvic floor doing during a squat and a deadlift?
    • What will I see as a compensation?

  • Recapturing Hip Internal Rotation with a Half-Kneeling Cable Press

    Recapturing Hip Internal Rotation with a Half-Kneeling Cable Press

    When you understand the relationships of position, compression, and expansion of the axial skeleton, you can use any number of supplementary exercises to support your movement goals.

    Many times, rehab exercises are not necessary to recapture hip range of motion that we lose in association with heavy strength training.

    Supplementary exercises like half-kneeling activities can be used to offset the negative consequences of hard training.

    Here’s how you can use the half-kneeling cable press to recapture hip internal rotation. #hipimpingement #hippain #billhartmanpt

  • Highlights from the final day of The Intensive X

    Highlights from the final day of The Intensive X

    On the final day of The Intensive, we Zoom (the app) in all other previous attendees to let them participate in the last day.

    This is often a review of key topics and programming strategies.

    At The Intensive X, we reviewed some concepts about the infrasternal angle and the compensatory breathing strategies as well as a discussion of how the internal pressures and volumes are manipulated to produce movement.

    This video represents just a few minutes from the last 3 hours of The Intensive X.
