Hope you have your @neurocoffee for today’s Q & A. From Austin: I had a question about a video you posted a couple months ago. In the “Improving hip internal rotation- toe touch” video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OTEdut5W_E), you mention using dorsiflexion to achieve sacral nutation and maintain mid to max propulsion. You also mention plantarflexion putting the […]

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 […]
Q & A for the 16% – Suitcase Carry Cues and Toe Touch for Inhalation or Exhalation Strategies
2 Questions: Could you explain how you cue the suitcase carry? Do you want to see scap retraction and depression? And does it expand the anterior upper ribs, and compress the posterior upper ribs? Would you expect an individual to benefit from both biasing their feet towards inhalation and exhalation? Through self-testing I have found […]
Q & A for The 16%… Hip Position, Breathing, and Counternutation Strategies
Question: If someone has a wide ISA and a nutated sacrum, in order to get the pelvis/spine into an inhalation position, would doing an exercise with the hips flexed at 90 degrees promote further sacrum couternutation? In this video, I’ll give you my answer and three examples. A couple of instructions: Heels-elevated toe touch: Inhale […]
Think Differently… About How You Measure Hip Flexion
Traditionally, measuring hip flexion range of motion provides only information about how the femur moves in the hip joint. If you think differently, hip flexion provides information about the existence of anterior pelvic tilt, sacral movement, lumbar spine movement, and breathing strategy. This video guides you toward how you can think differently about how to […]
