  • Q & A for The 16% – Axial Iterations and Treating with Biomechanics vs. The Biopsychosocial Model

    Q & A for The 16% – Axial Iterations and Treating with Biomechanics vs. The Biopsychosocial Model

    Q & A for Today…

    From Zhang:
    You’ve talked about iterations in previous videos.  Does the posterior sacral area behave the same as the dorsal rostral area? Does the lower thorax behave the same as the posterior outlet, and, the anterior pubic area behaves the same as the sternum?

    From Johnny:
    as clinicians, what are some ways to reconcile the biopsychosocial aspects of the pain experience with all the fun physics applications regarding patient encounters, assessment and treatment decisions? It seems like the rehab industry is divided and it has to be one style of treatment or the other.

    In this video:
    I answer the question as to whether there is any benefit to looking at the pelvis like we look at the thorax. I also clear up the battle between the biomechanical model vs. the biopsychosocial model. ‘Nuff said!

  • Q & A for The 16% – What do you do with a “normal” ISA? A right pelvic anterior tilt?

    Q & A for The 16% – What do you do with a “normal” ISA? A right pelvic anterior tilt?

    I have two great questions for today’s Q & A.

    Jason’s question:

    I recently saw a client with a 90 degree ISA that did not move at all. Additionally, he had: – Limited shoulder and hip and IR and ER – Limited shoulder and hip flexion – No true hip hyperextension – Lordotic posture Given these measures, I found it difficult to decide whether I should treat him as someone compressed or expanded, as these measures seem conflicting.

    Matt’s question:

    I’m wondering what your thought process would be for recapturing normal conditions for someone with a pelvis which is anteriorly tipped on one side only? (Wide ISA presentation also) The right hand Ilium seems to be pulled forward by the illiacus, and the lower rib cage on the same side looks to have an Oblique that’s not pulling the ribcage down fully during exhalation.

    In this video:

    I explain you can get the ISA to start moving and what you need to do after that. I give Matt a list of exercises to address a pelvis tilted on an oblique axis.

  • Box Squat Solutions – Variations and Versatility

    Box Squat Solutions – Variations and Versatility

    The box squat is not just for powerlifters.

    It is a versatile exercise that can be modified in technique to produce a broad variability of outcomes.

    In this video: I look at how the box squat can favorably influence the internal forces that interfere with performance and rehab programs. Box squat variations are not only performance enhancing but are excellent for pelvic floor issues that are common to many pelvic floor physical therapy patients.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Improving Your Overhead Press with a Landmine press

    Q & A for The 16% – Improving Your Overhead Press with a Landmine press

    Question:

    I have been thinking about your video on shoulder flexion and your comments about how it is common for individuals to use internal rotation to finish shoulder flexion. To improve shoulder flexion without this compensation what are your thoughts on: – the Viking/landmine press? – would you opt for a single arm Viking press attachment to emphasize air/fluid shifts in thorax? – would you train this with a supinated grip to avoid the internal rotation I think you are referring to?

    In this video:

    I explain where limitations occur that restrict the ability to press overhead without a compensation and then demonstrate a landmine press set-up to help restore the capacity required to overhead press.
