  • Q & A for The 16% – Why do you lose Hip Internal Rotation?

    Q & A for The 16% – Why do you lose Hip Internal Rotation?

    I have a question from the IFAST PT fellow, so grab your @neurocoffee for this one.

    From Austin: If somebody has limited hip IR, that would indicate anterior compression, however you have mentioned a loss of IR being due to compression below the level of the trochanter posteriorly. How do you determine whether compression is from the anterior or posterior aspect of the hip and limiting the IR? Have a great weekend! The podcast will be up Sunday.

    Attention IFAST University members: We have a Q & A on Monday.

    Check the schedule on IFAST U. #hipmobility #hipexercises #billhartmanpt

  • Q & A for The 16% – Why Your Movement Changes Won’t Stick

    Q & A for The 16% – Why Your Movement Changes Won’t Stick

    I have a great question concerning how we reason our way through the process of making changes stick with out clients. Grab your @neurocoffee for this one.

    From Marcel:

    I have been implementing your model with some good success. But there seems to be a variation in how much the changes we get “stick”.  Some clients things change really nicely and stay that way, and others it seems like a ongoing battle to maintain good movement variability.  Can you talk about what factors can influence things not “sticking” (  ie. Stress, upper airway, training load ) and how to go about working out what that client needs if it hard to maintain changes.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Knee and Ankle Bulletproofing? Really?

    Q & A for The 16% – Knee and Ankle Bulletproofing? Really?

    We’re talking about extreme end range of motion, so I hope you have your @neurocoffee ready.

    From Rachel:

    I have a question for the Q&A, which is following the recent theme of knees.

    Recently, I’ve been seeing more people popping up in the industry highly recommending huge amounts of end-range knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion to “bulletproof” knees.

    Is there any validity in this? If so—or if not—could you provide a perspective of these movement strategies as it relates to compression gradients or within the propulsion arc?

  • Q & A for The 16% – There’s No Sagittal or Frontal Plane Movement

    Q & A for The 16% – There’s No Sagittal or Frontal Plane Movement

    Here’s a tough one for ya! Better have a strong cup of @neurocoffee ready.

    From Alex:

    Thank you for the ongoing content, it has been revelationary in terms of my thinking towards movement.

    I’d watched your upload of the 6am Coaches Conference Call from this morning (apologies with the time delay between UK and USA, it put it directly at my 14 months nap time to attend in person at the moment!!!) and it was the first time I’d personally heard you discuss in depth the concept of “there is no sagittal plane” with regards to the example you gave about the calcaneus, talus and tibia, and the cancellation of rotations.

    I’m unsure as to whether you went into any more depth within the call itself, but I’d be incredibly interested in whether you could address this fully within a Q+A and how it applies to perceived motion in both the sagittal and frontal planes.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Strategies for Limited Shoulder External and Internal Shoulder Rotation

    Q & A for The 16% – Strategies for Limited Shoulder External and Internal Shoulder Rotation

    @neurocoffee to the rescue this morning!

    Here’s a great case of a wide ISA with a lot of compressive compensatory strategy to overcome.

    From Tommy:
    I’m a wide ISA individual who through years of hard exercise and too many extension based activities got pretty deep into the compensatory patterns. I’m limited in hip & shoulder ER & IR measurements and have difficulties turning. I’ve made some good progress (special thanks to the camporini deadlift), but I’m still dealing with an inability to get dorsal rostral expansion and the muscles at my upper back/neck constantly feel engaged. I’ve tried the “Terry project” move for dorsal rostral expansion but struggle to find success there because my shoulders want to immediately hike up. Lastly, my camporini angle (between the clavicle and scapula is way less than 60 degrees). I’ve tried the manual intervention that you posted to youtube on 12/13/2019, but that causes numbness and tingling down my arm and to my fingers in little time. Curious to get your thoughts as to where this leads me. Would it be wise to focus working from the bottom-up, or try to push through with dorsal rostral specific activities?
