@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?
