Here’s a great question to lead into the weekend on some pelvic-hip mechanics and recognizing how one manages the propulsive phase of gait. Hope you’ve got your @neurocoffee in hand.

Q & A for The 16% – A Runner with IT Band Syndrome… Really?
I think the representation of the IT Band is still misunderstood even though we have some good dissection information that should have clarified things 14 years ago.
Hope you have your @neurocoffee handy.
From Tony:
I have a runner diagnosed with a right IT Band friction syndrome where he gets pain with running at the lateral knee. We’ve made some progress but he’s still unable to run much distance without increasing pain. He doesn’t have much pain with normal activities. He’s got a bit of a varus knee, limited hip IR, a pronated foot, weak gluteus medius, but pretty decent dorsiflexion. When we work on these things, he gets better but we can’t make the changes stick. Any ideas?

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% – Medial vs. Lateral Knee Pain Explained
My @neurocoffee is perfect as usual, and I have a Q&A that came from yesterday’s call with The Intensive Group about knee pain.
Typically, with either medial or lateral knee pain we’ll see a loss of relative motion in the segments of the lower extremity. When segments move together, different aspects of the system will eventually hit constraints of the knee joint. Depending on where the greatest load occurs, that’s where you’ll see the pain arise if it does. Your goal then, is to restore the relative movements of the lower extremity. I have a series of videos for medial and lateral knee pain available here on instagram and on my YouTube channel, so check those out if you need suggestions for treatment or training.

Half-Kneeling from the Inside-Out
I explain the most common pelvic orientations that you’ll see with half-kneeling exercises.
Establishing control in half-kneeling is foundational to all of your split-stance and single leg exercises such as split squats, lunges, and step-up.
