Question from Monica and Justin: What are some other training strategies for a wide individual who is compressed A to P in both the pelvis and the thorax who has lost hip bilaterally IR to try to regain the ability to reorient the ilium and move it relative to the sacrum? In this video: I […]

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. #halfkneeling #pelvicfloor #billhartmanpt Find Bill: Instagram Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
Q & A for The 16% – Determining Sacral movement vs. Pelvic Orientation (aka pelvic tilt)
Grab your @neurocoffee and get ready for today’s Q & A! How are you dissociating sacral movements to pelvic orientations, and how do they show up in testing? What are your key indicators and where do you see common compensations around expected limitations based on their initial ISA/IPA presentations? My second question is based on […]
Q & A for The 16% – Hip Impingement? Should you do a “hip scour” to determine hip joint shape?
Hey Bill, I’ve been diving into your videos about initial assessments and measurements, and I had a quick question about your hip flexion measurement. When you’re measuring hip flexion, do you like the use of a hip scour before you test the compressive hip flexion position? I was curious if you’d change the angle of […]
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 […]
