She had a martial arts background, so we use this as an example. This led to discussion of how the relative movement in the upper extremity changes with position.7:04 This Q&A is with Thanasis who wanted to review the mechanics of cutting in regard to the pelvic outlet and connective tissue behaviors. This also gave us an opportunity to understand the necessity of our intentions with exercise selection and the importance of secondary consequences.19:31 This Q&A is with Jordan who had a question about some change of direction activity the involves manipulation of the foot position as we move into and out of a cut. Recognition of the actual foot position for change of direction will matter as will recognition of foot position for the activity in question in regard to transfer of one activity to another. There are also secondary consequences that influence systemic movement that may be undesirable.

We get into the high specialized athletes like baseball pitchers, training elements throughout the year, and recapturing your KPI’s on a predictable schedule. Really good discussion.4:57 This Q&A is with Shan who is a powerlifter with a Narrow ISA archetype. His question pertains as to why he would choose a conventional vs. Sumo stance in his deadlift. Here’s some reasoning as to why one may be better than the other.11:11 Today’s Q&A is with Anat who had a question regarding Trendelenburg gait causes and solutions. We discuss what you’ll find and what you’ll need to achieve to resolve it.23:57 This Q&A is with Matt who asked a question regarding the influence of idiosyncratic structural differences on how someone may compensate. When we understand what the options are, we can see how individual differences may produce the magnitude of movement limitation or allow movement and adaptation to occur. The “pronated foot” takes on greater meaning when we deepen our understanding.

The Bill Hartman Podcast for The 16%Season 17 Number 10This weeks topics: Don’t forget to check out the latest RECONsider Podcast episode.Hope you had a great week!0:00 This Q&A is with Alex who has a situation where a physical constraint may be interfering with effective breathing. In many cases, the solution to the problem will be determined in real time as you coach them through an activity. This video offers coaching cues and recommendations for techniques as you work through the process.10:23 This Q&A is with Anat who initially had a question about head and neck positioning during activity, but then shifted discussion toward sleeping positions. While there may be some accommodation for comfort required at times, as with movement, sleep position is about recapturing options during the day.24:43 This Q&A is with Alex who asked a foundational question regarding connective tissue yielding behaviors. This allowed us to dig into some specific representations about how this behavior influences the elements of timing and energy transfer during activities. Some great stuff here.38:49 This Q&A is Part 1 of a discussion of programming and organization of training with Greg. Looking at how you can superimpose movement with other qualities such as force production without interfering or minimizing the decline of capabilities is one of the great challenges of how you organize training. This was a long discussion that covers a lot of ground.SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/

This weeks topics: 0:00 This Q&A is with Bori, Cameron, and Anat as we discuss application of oscillatory methods to reduce or optimize muscle tension. We can apply them to patients/clients and even to ourselves. You’ll often see athletes use them pre-event to help them feel prepared for their event.07:24 This Q&A is with Bori who is working with a client who has some knee issues and some very telling signs that will lead treatment. This gives us an opportunity to review some of the relationships between the foot and rest of the lower extremity.13:32 This Q&A is part 1 of a conversation with Matt who is recognizing the limited perspective of a structural-reductionist model in regard to determining ideal positions for specific activity. Branding a muscle as weak requires a much deeper explanation than making an assumption that there is just something limiting at the actual muscle level. Position always matters.22:15 This Q&A is Part 2 with Matt as we continue talking about the influence of pelvis, joint, and muscle position as an influence on what is perceived as isolated muscle weakness. Positional testing provides us with perspective on why some may believe that the problem lies within an individual muscle rather than understanding the systemic influence. This also provides an understanding of the coordinative strategy to execute a lift like a heavy deadlift.

This weeks topics:0:00 This Q&A is with Alex who had a question regarding bony adaptations and using techniques to reduce compressed representation resulting in the late propulsive external rotation. This allowed us to talk through the reasoning as to why a mobilization may or may not be effective as the starting conditions will matter.07:52 This Q&A is with Thenasis who asked me about how I manage information and learning. I do it the hard way with notecards, paper, and fireboxes. I also use apps to a degree as so much information is electronic.15:01 This Q&A is with Alex who is work on improving a patient’s foot shape and had some questions about the results. This led us to discussing some strategies that may be helpful or hindering especially when it comes to using heel lifts at the wrong time when the leg appears to be short.29:12 This Q&A is with Zach who is making great progress on an athlete after an ACL surgery. She’s having some intermittent knee symptoms with specific activities. Cues and specific exercises are helpful, but we breakdown remaining compensations that may resolve the ongoing symptoms.SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/

This weeks topics: 0:00 This Q&A is with Zach who is working with a baseball player with lateral elbow pain (aka tennis elbow). Zach is doing great work to resolve symptoms but his patient is still lacking full traditional elbow extension and feels weakness in his hand. We walk through how to address each element including how to visualize the position at the elbow. BTW, got an update from Zach and he nailed it with treatment and got back the elbow range of motion!13:03 This Q&A is with Cameron that ended up with an explanation of why you must be patient and recognize that you’re playing a long game in regard to your meaningful work. Consistency with your efforts over a long time to acquire knowledge and then applying it to produce quality experience is how you will improve.16:49 This Q&A is with Alexsander (hope I’m spelling that correctly!) who had a great foundational question about hip measures. This allowed us to review how we can identify what our measures actually represent in regard to what is producing the movement we observe.24:27 This Q&A is with Zach who is working with a baseball player showing some back pain when he swings a bat. The pain is difficult to reproduce otherwise, but Zach has already done a great job in cleaning up the symptoms. This discussion looks at why the pain may have been present in the first place.SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPT

This weeks topics: 0:00 Early vs. Late Hip External Rotation - Q&A is with Thenasis who had a question about hip external rotation measures. We lose and gain movement depending on context and pelvis orientation. This is a great review to help you understand hip ER.4:33 Clawed Toes - Q&A is with Manuel who is identifying a representation of a late propulsive foot behavior while the foot is on the ground. The result is often seen in the clawing of the toes. Here’s a description of how that happens.9:53 Turning a Right Oblique Orientation - Q&A is with Cameron who is working through the processs of promoting the left turn toward starting conditions for a Wide ISA archetype. Positioning, process, and foot cues will all provide an influence for a favorable outcome.22:32 Understanding Foot Contacts - Q&A is part 2 with Cameron with an assist from Dale. We discuss how we use foot contacts to direct changes in sacral orientation and shift the center of gravity depending on archetype. Why do we spend less time talking about the 5th metatarsal head vs the 1st?SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/

The Bill Hartman Podcast for The 16%Season 17 Number 4This weeks topics: The step-by-step Hooklying Cross Connect video is quite visual an up on my YouTube channel.0:00 This Q&A is with Anat who is working through the concept of reverse engineering movement in a Narrow ISA individual and is uncertain of which measures to attend to as changes take place. We also discuss how to self-test using a split squat.5:45 This Q&A is with Zach who is working with an offensive lineman in America football. Zach made a great call on an activity to restore knee movement that was lacking and most likely contributing to the athlete’s knee pain. We break down the knee orientation via some reproduction of symptoms and why he most likely got a good result.18:19 This Q&A is with Alex who had a great foundational question regarding the mechanics of the diaphragm that led us to compare it to the pelvic outlet. I think terminology creates confusion as to how the thorax and pelvis change shape. Maybe this will help.SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/

This weeks topics:0:00 This is a short one with Dante who had a foundational question on pelvis shape and position between the Narrow ISA and wide ISA archetypes. Structure is different, so tendencies and behavior follows.2:38 This Q&A is with Thenasis who had a question about how to reverse engineer the wide and narrow ISA archetype position. To know where to take them, you need to understand where they came from and how they got there.8:26 This Q&A is with Jake concerning the contributing factors of what appears to be a left or a right hip shift in a squat. We break down right and left in regard to Narrow ISA vs. Wide ISA as well.16:35 This Q&A is with Kevin who had a question about the common finding on x-ray of a straightened cervical spine. Discussion covers a bit about how it will arise on a wide ISA individual and how we want to address thorax influences to assist with recapturing useful positions and movement.SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/

This weeks topics: 0:00 Gravity Reduced vs. Upright Activities - Today’s Q&A is with Zach who is making good changes with one of his athletes but recognized the loss of relative movement in upright activities vs. gravity reduced positions. The influence of gravity will alter strategy even though one may seem to demonstrate full relative movement in table tests. This will require further progression of your interventions and maybe some assistance from orthoses.7:02 Anterior-Posterior expansion in side lying - Today’s Q&A is with Misha who is working with a client strongly compressed anterior-posterior. He has tried using a rolling behavior that showed less than desired improvement. We talked through strategies to progressively promote the expansion in side lying via positioning and extremity movement.Hope you had a great week!Link in bio.SIG#exercise #fitness #podcast #movement #stretching #workout #billhartmanpt #DPTstudent #physicaltherapist #strengthcoach #personaltrainer #movement #constraints #wideISA #narrowISA #infrasternalangle #movement #posture #shoulderpain #impingement SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/

0:00 This is Part 1 with Alex who had a question on how movement is sequenced in an extremity depending on the activity in question. Joint position will influence muscle behavior, and therefore, influences direction of energy and movement.6:42 This Q&A is Part 2 of Alex’s question regarding muscle behavior, muscle position, and the influences that may result in what we observe structurally. Much to consider.15:38 This Q&A is with David as part of a discussion about a client with shoulder impingement. During discussion we reviewed what an inhale looks like and how the shoulder would be influenced. This allows us to determine the process that resulted in symptoms, and how to reverse engineer the process to resolve them.20:55 This Q&A builds on David’s question from yesterday in regard to a client with shoulder impingement. In talking about lower cervical spine mechanics that are needed in this situation, conversation turned toward execution of a hook lying cross connect exercise and proper cuing to get the desired result. Ian stepped in near the end to give the assist.SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/

Great foundational questions. 11:34 Today’s Q&A is with Zach who is working with a Wide ISA athlete who is having difficulty managing her center of gravity and demonstrating a very strong IR compensatory strategy to maintain control. This is a really good discussion to understand just how far the center of gravity can move, and how to intervene. 23:06 Today’s Q&A is with Max who is working with a client in need of an upper extremity positional change. This discussion hits on some key elelments of why, when and how you’d use a low oblique sit. 36:20 Today’s Q&A is with Alex who understands how air flow fill the lung on inhalation but wanted clarification on how the lung empties. This is influenced by strategy and structure. Narrow vs. Wide ISA’s will use different strategies and require different cues.

While photos don’t tell you everything, they expand your ability to determine how and why someone moves the way they do. Be sure to check out my IG account for the visual. 11:13 Today’s Q&A is part 2 with Matt who is sharing posture photos of the client. We can use these photos to provide clues as to what type of movement strategies that someone may be using to control their center of gravity and how they interact by using their internal and external rotations. Be sure to check out my IG account for the visual. 22:44 Today’s Q&A is with Teja who is working with a Narrow ISA individual who is using a strong compressive strategy to stay inside of their base of support. In most cases, we just need to move them toward an early propulsive representation to resolve the issue. However, in some cases, reverse engineering requires capturing the ER shape change first. This discussion gives you the understanding with a demo as well. 32:07 Today’s Q&A is with Dante who had a question regarding training young kids, posture, and how their connective tissue behavior may influence how we work with them in their activities. Kids are not little adults. You must speak their language.
