No 1- weightlifters brace and dump their shoulder blades when they rack squat. A very common pattern for this movement, especially when you are lifting over #200 +. The problem is when this becomes dominant for all movements. Healthy systems need choices, plural. The nervous system then grades the strategy depending on the movement and load needed. What happens when someone uses this strategy to pole dance? No 2-a rigid thorax does not serve here. The main impai...

2023-01-051h 02Tough to TreatFoot and Hip Pain? Why You Treat The ThoraxYour patient has a dysfunctional thorax and it's driving their symptoms, wherever they are. How can you clinically reason treating a non-painful thorax for distal symptoms, such as the foot and hip? The body translates the head, thorax, and the pelvis over the feet for many reasons. Offloading a painful foot, knee, hip is one reason, the other can be an ingrained movement pattern that has been there for years because of an old injury or from a dominant movement or sport history. Join Susan and Erica as they discuss thoracic drivers and how they...
