Padawan Lesson: Expand your view of what you’re measuring at the hip joint. Relative motions are occurring at all times. The pelvis should and will orient differently as you move the hip through its excursion. If we can appreciate this, we can better recognize what the body is demonstrating, and our interventions can be better […]

Q & A for The 16% – Pelvis shape change vs. Pelvis Orientation
Question #1 In the Q & A video from below, you mention that when you get an anterior compression of the front of the pelvis, you will get a shape change that will steal IR and increase concentric orientation of the posterior musculature. I’m having trouble visualizing this orientation of the ilium and how this […]
Whiteboard Session: 2 Squats and 2 Strategies
There are many representations that may pass for a squat. Not all are created equal nor are they achieved the same way. Some are better than others. Structure matters. Strategy matters. In this video: I show you two different strategies that may result in a squat below parallel. One may be better than the other. […]
Case Comparison: How does pelvis orientation influence knee orientation
How does the orientation of the pelvis influence measures at the hip and at the knee (and foot)? We had a couple of cases this week that showed the same orientation to different degrees, therefore, their measures and findings reflected the degree of influence on the knee. In this video: What does anterior orientation do […]
Q & A for The 16%… Wide Infrasternal Angle vs Narrow Infrasternal Angle Relationships
I’ve been getting a lot of similar questions that appear to be related to understanding my references to wide infrasternal angles vs. narrow infrasternal angles. When breathing is restricted such that full inhalation or full exhalation cannot be achieved, the infrasternal angle (ISA) provides guidance as to what compensatory strategy is being utilized to maintain […]
