Below are some of the major points taken from the Pod Cast, Click on the link at the bottom to hear the entire Pod Cast.

  • Back away from your profession and look at it as a great philosopher or someone who is a master of logic.
  • Purify your opinions-- Using inductive and deduction reasoning appropriately?  Breaking logistic rules?  Becoming victim to your subjectivity or the subjectivity of peers?
  • Central purpose of exercise is to enhance movement in some way.
  • Make sure you lay the “enhancement technique” on a good foundation.  If the foundation is bad, you can add fitness to dysfunction.
  • Functional Movement Screen checks fundamental movement / movement patterns.
  • Mobility can be checked passively.  Stability is harder to be checked.
  • Mobility is “cut and dry” as there are norms and standard for every joint in the body.  Stability is a neuromuscular program.
  • To establish if there is a good foundation for movement by deciding if there is mobility or stability as a test-- differ to establishing mobility first.
  • Stability is the ability to hold a position in the presence of full range of motion.  If you don’t have full range of motion, you will have some type of skewed stability.  If your end ranges are not clear or have pain/restriction, your entire sense of proprioception through the whole span of motion will be skewed in some way with muscles not doing what they’re supposed to be doing.
  • Clear mobility before checking stability.
  • For a “software” problem, use Reactive Neuromuscular Training as a software strategy.
