Analyzing Movement - Fascia and Movement

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.680
All right coaches so in this series of videos we're gonna look at analyzing the

2
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:09.760
the golf swing so we're gonna talk about the different phases and we're gonna

3
00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:16.160
connect a lot of the anatomy that we covered in the level one we're gonna

4
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:20.200
connect the anatomy to the movements of the golf swing so the first step is we

5
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:20.200
're

6
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:25.160
gonna talk about just assessing any movement in general and that'll help us

7
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:33.360
understand how to apply it specifically to the golf swing so in this in this

8
00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:38.180
series we are going to as I mentioned we're gonna dive into some of the

9
00:00:38.180 --> 00:00:42.400
detailed movements of the takeaway setting the club in the backswing the

10
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:48.720
transition the release that will those two will have a good amount of depth to

11
00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:52.240
them and then we'll look at follow through and finish and we'll just learn

12
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:58.720
how to observe either on video or understanding the 3D graphs how to tie it

13
00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:02.080
all together and know what's happening during that phase of the swing as well

14
00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:09.640
as what we're seeing on the video and what's happening anatomically so I will

15
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:14.520
dive right into this we're gonna we're gonna start with some kind of general

16
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:17.840
principles and then we're gonna look at specific segments and how they work so

17
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:25.760
here we go first rule the simplest model for looking at how you want to just

18
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:32.280
analyze any generic movement is looking at us like a five-sided starfish so

19
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:38.120
basically we've got this star for starfish over here on the right whenever

20
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.840
you're looking at quality movement it originates from the core and then

21
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:48.960
basically this would be the head this would be your left arm right arm right

22
00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:53.440
leg left leg so it's going to originate from the core and then work its way out

23
00:01:53.440 --> 00:02:00.640
whether you want to go call that inside out or proximal to distal or deep to

24
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:07.760
superficial all of those kind of apply the same principle and so we'll talk

25
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:11.960
about some specific examples first we're gonna look at just reaching for a

26
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:19.640
bottle okay so as a quick way to just look at a movement here we've got me

27
00:02:19.640 --> 00:02:25.720
reaching for a bottle right so I'm just sitting there and then I'm reaching for

28
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:32.560
the bottle and then relax for a second alright here we go again I'm gonna reach

29
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.200
for the bottle as well and then we're gonna talk about these two different

30
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:45.480
movements okay now my first question and if you want to watch that a couple

31
00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:52.040
times before but my first question is basically which one looks better which

32
00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:59.390
one looks more natural so we've got this is option number one and then here we

33
00:02:59.390 --> 00:02:59.440
've

34
00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:06.880
got option number two okay now maybe I look a little over zealous in the second

35
00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:11.660
one but part of that is because I used an unnatural grabbing pattern or it

36
00:03:11.660 --> 00:03:11.960
tried

37
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:18.280
my best to so in this first one you'll see before my shoulder before the arm

38
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:24.600
moves can you see the little movement in the core and basically the ribs right

39
00:03:24.600 --> 00:03:31.240
here are gonna start moving over that way and then the shoulder is going to

40
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:37.800
reach so basically I'm using my core first and then I'm using the shoulder

41
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.120
and it's a well kind of you know coordinated movement where I grab the

42
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:50.800
bottle here the second one you'll see there's no movement in my core I tried to

43
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:56.280
keep my core relaxed as best I can and lead the movement with the shoulder

44
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:56.720
first

45
00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:02.840
and then once the shoulder was going I tried to go with my body and because of

46
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.720
that broken order by going with the shoulder and then going with the body

47
00:04:05.720 --> 00:04:11.560
my body went a little bit too far so I lost balance you'd actually see this

48
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.910
foot come off the ground like there's a lot of what would look like compens

49
00:04:15.910 --> 00:04:16.360
ating

50
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:22.640
movements but that can really just be broken down into one was core then arm

51
00:04:22.640 --> 00:04:30.960
and the other was arm then core you're gonna see a lot of those scenarios of

52
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:35.600
inside out versus outside in when we start breaking down the golf swing but

53
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:41.200
first let's go over a few more rules for looking at this movement okay so here

54
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:46.920
are just some simple movement guidelines and we'll go back and look at the the

55
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:53.280
picture there or the movie a little bit as we go through these so first rule

56
00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:58.720
looking at what's moving and what's not basically what part of their body are

57
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.160
you seeing the movement with and then what part of the body looks like it's

58
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:09.700
stabilizing or providing support for that movement so what's moving first thing

59
00:05:09.700 --> 00:05:14.720
we see move is the ribs maybe a little bit with the pelvis you can actually see

60
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:22.840
the right leg lift just slightly so that right knee is moving then the pelvis

61
00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:29.040
then the rib cage at the same time the shoulder is moving a little bit but you

62
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:34.880
don't see the arm really disconnect off the body until late right so we got

63
00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:40.280
that order so what's moving well let's see what's not moving this left shoulder

64
00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:45.240
is not moving this left leg is not moving when we come over and we look at the

65
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:51.120
second one you'll see as it goes a little bit further but there's a little bit

66
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.360
more movement late in the torso compared to this one but by seeing what's

67
00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:57.880
moving

68
00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:02.720
and what's not you can kind of get night and identity of the second piece

69
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:08.680
which is the second piece is find the fixed point so what I mean by that is

70
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:16.730
basically in order to in order to move I have to I've really two options or let

71
00:06:16.730 --> 00:06:17.040
's

72
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.400
say three options so I'm gonna move my arm I'm gonna move my bicep here I could

73
00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:27.500
either tighten the bicep or activate the bicep and pull my arm towards me I

74
00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:27.760
could

75
00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:34.840
activate the bicep and pull so if this had some type of resistance then when I

76
00:06:34.840 --> 00:06:39.480
activated the bicep it would pull me towards the arm so I could do arm there

77
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:47.760
or bicep going that way or I could do both where the shoulder in the arm are

78
00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:52.600
kind of coming together but those are all driven by this this bicep and then I

79
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:56.160
guess theoretically I could have a fourth one where basically nothing is

80
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.640
moving it's just activating and and kind of I'm

81
00:07:01.640 --> 00:07:06.920
isometrically activating the muscle as opposed to concentrically moving it but

82
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:11.740
I could concentrically move it either proximal to distal or distal

83
00:07:11.740 --> 00:07:19.680
approximately so why does that matter well we're gonna try to find the fixed

84
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:26.160
point whenever we look at what's moving so for example oftentimes in the golf

85
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.680
swing we're going to have the fixed point either at the foot or the pelvis or

86
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:31.280
the

87
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:37.480
ribs or potentially the shoulder and the elbow so just as a quick way of

88
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:37.880
looking

89
00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:44.480
at that it would say what would be a simple way that I can do this so right

90
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:49.640
now I'm anchored on the foot my pelvis and everything is moving but if you

91
00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:55.360
looked at the foot it's a pretty solid foundation well angle that down a little

92
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:02.640
bit so go this way so this foot is my anchor I can turn my hip I can turn my

93
00:08:02.640 --> 00:08:07.440
body away from that foot if the foot was kind of sliding then you would see the

94
00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:14.200
same movement wouldn't create the same movement so when I have my foot anchored

95
00:08:14.200 --> 00:08:21.240
I'm coordinating a chain of action from my center down to my foot to kind of

96
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:26.640
link up those segments and then use that link to create my movement so first

97
00:08:26.640 --> 00:08:33.390
option is the foot second option is the pelvis so I could potentially pull my

98
00:08:33.390 --> 00:08:33.480
knee

99
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:38.600
up so my hip flexor locks the pelvis I could push laterally so my glute locks

100
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:44.200
the pelvis I could squeeze my legs together so then my adductors lock the

101
00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:50.400
pelvis I could just tighten my my abs so that my abs lock the pelvis but any of

102
00:08:50.400 --> 00:08:54.840
the muscles around my pelvis could lock that down so that it becomes the new

103
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.920
fixed point you'll often see that for golfers that don't get a lot of pelvis

104
00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:04.120
rotation they lock down that pelvis and then they just fire that upper body the

105
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:11.880
next segment up we could look at the ribs or the rib cage right so usually if

106
00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:14.640
you're gonna lock down the rib cage you also locked down the pelvis but it's

107
00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:20.740
totally possible that you could be moving your legs so I've got a fixed point

108
00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:20.840
at

109
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.040
the foot I'm moving my legs but I'm not moving my core so my ribs are a new

110
00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:32.140
fixed point this is common I'm gonna use my ribs as a fixed point in order to

111
00:09:32.140 --> 00:09:32.240
then

112
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.720
use my arms in different directions if the ribs are kind of moving around and

113
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:42.520
sloppy then I won't have as strong a platform for my arms to then work

114
00:09:42.520 --> 00:09:49.880
against so then the last one would be the shoulder elbow so if I if I'm just

115
00:09:49.880 --> 00:09:55.560
trying to like use my wrist you'll see if my shoulder is loose as I try to do

116
00:09:55.560 --> 00:10:00.960
that I don't have nearly as much power or control as if I lock in that that

117
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.720
shoulder now I could lock in that shoulder from protraction from using the

118
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:10.400
peck I could lock that in from adduction from using more like subscap or

119
00:10:10.400 --> 00:10:14.520
serratus or something like that I could lock in that shoulder there's lots of

120
00:10:14.520 --> 00:10:22.320
different ways that I can lock in that shoulder with muscle or or fascia by

121
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.200
following the fixed point you can kind of get an idea as far as where the

122
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.600
movement is really originating so it can be really helpful for seeing how

123
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:39.000
they're coordinating this inside-out pattern okay that's one of the important

124
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.800
ones so I wanted to spend a good amount of time on that next piece is we want

125
00:10:43.800 --> 00:10:43.920
to

126
00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:50.760
think relationships or relationally so what's happening at that specific

127
00:10:50.760 --> 00:10:55.600
segment but then what else is happening at the same time and how do those two

128
00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:02.160
relate so if you recall from the anatomy sections we talked about kind of the

129
00:11:02.160 --> 00:11:07.400
the areas not just in one specific joint but around that joint so that you

130
00:11:07.400 --> 00:11:12.720
could potentially see the connections common one would be okay the ribcage

131
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:17.600
almost flexes like this as the arms straighten those are both actions

132
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:23.160
happen from the peck the peck is gonna have an attachment all the way down to

133
00:11:23.160 --> 00:11:28.760
the pelvis kind of right around here so in order to fire my arm I'm expecting

134
00:11:28.760 --> 00:11:37.840
to see this slight contraction and fixing of the ribcage that's because those

135
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:38.080
two

136
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:43.600
are gonna be connected so I'm looking kind of further down the chain in order

137
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:49.280
to identify where the movement's happening so I might see the ribcage

138
00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:53.840
really starting to brace before the arm goes but in my mind I'm thinking that

139
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:58.040
they originated that movement when the ribcage started to brace not just when I

140
00:11:58.040 --> 00:12:04.240
saw the arm go okay inside out versus outside in so there's a phrase that

141
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:08.880
Paul check uses called the inner unit versus the outer unit basically joints

142
00:12:08.880 --> 00:12:09.200
and

143
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.280
four and five relate to each other so I'll I'll kind of tackle them together

144
00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:18.400
inner unit versus outer unit so the closer to the center of the joint that

145
00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:23.880
those muscles should fire first centralize the joint and kind of start it

146
00:12:23.880 --> 00:12:28.600
moving in the right direction and then the outer unit is responsible for

147
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.880
creating the majority of the force now when we're looking at outer unit

148
00:12:32.880 --> 00:12:38.160
segments there's a phrase that Givoya uses where it's the short levers are for

149
00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:41.560
speed long levers are for force short levers are for speed long levers are

150
00:12:41.560 --> 00:12:46.840
for force basically if I was just trying to create a lot of speed here I put my

151
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:54.480
hands really close together it's like fly fishing I think so I can't create you

152
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.800
know if this was a really heavy object I wouldn't be able to move it very fast

153
00:12:57.800 --> 00:13:01.840
but when it's light I can create a lot more speed this way then if my I had my

154
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.080
hands separated but this way I can create a lot more force so there are

155
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:12.920
certain movements or there are certain areas where we want to get the axis

156
00:13:12.920 --> 00:13:19.000
of rotation far away from the application of force for example your

157
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.360
center of mass versus center of pressure you get them far away so that you can

158
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:27.000
create a lot of force with the lower body not necessarily speed but then we

159
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.360
look at the grip and we put our hands close together so that we can create a

160
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.840
lot of speed with the hands but this limits the amount of force that we can

161
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.080
create so we'll talk about that in the specific phases but that can be an

162
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:45.180
important one when you're looking globally at how each part of the body is

163
00:13:45.180 --> 00:13:46.040
moving

164
00:13:46.040 --> 00:13:54.440
just as a quick little like not totally useful but interesting fact the reason

165
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:59.560
that bones are shaped the way that they are like bones is so that you get the

166
00:13:59.560 --> 00:14:03.880
lever further away from the axis of rotation so it creates a bigger moment

167
00:14:03.880 --> 00:14:07.880
arm when you have it like bone shaped then if it was just a straight bone and

168
00:14:07.880 --> 00:14:14.520
you had muscles attaching right to the joint so it actually makes them more

169
00:14:14.520 --> 00:14:19.080
stronger it makes them capable of creating more force with the same amount

170
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:25.720
of muscle contraction okay um next piece is when we're thinking about it

171
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:30.360
from a golf swing perspective we want to think about what when we see the

172
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:35.000
movement happening what what's going on in that particular phase so why would

173
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:38.440
this golfer be doing it are they doing it to create power are they doing it to

174
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:42.680
adjust the path are they doing it to help control the face

175
00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:46.360
if that's real specific to the downswing but then

176
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.360
when we look at the backswing we want to keep the principles in mind that

177
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:55.560
what gets loaded will get unloaded so if i'm going to fire a muscle during the

178
00:14:55.560 --> 00:14:58.920
downswing it makes more sense for me to stretch it during the backswing

179
00:14:58.920 --> 00:15:02.600
part of the reason why golfers don't make a full turn in the backswing is their

180
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.960
brain has no intention of using their body

181
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.320
their hips and their core rotation later in the downswing

182
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.320
they have a a bigger intention of using their arms

183
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.360
vertically or creating more shoulder pull so then they do load those muscles

184
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:22.200
but they don't load the hips so that would be one one way to kind of

185
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.600
think about it also um we can work the pattern

186
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.440
backwards if you're not quite sure what started the pattern then you can look

187
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.640
at the end of it and work backwards muscles are

188
00:15:33.640 --> 00:15:39.000
really simple on off switches the the intelligence of the body is in the

189
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.800
fascia we'll talk a little bit about that later

190
00:15:41.800 --> 00:15:47.080
but the muscles just basically either contract or

191
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:52.440
relax contract or relax the timing how much all that is controlled more by

192
00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.720
the fascia but working the pattern backward i use

193
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:59.320
the example of you want to learn to land before you

194
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.640
jump and you can see how a person is going to jump based on the way that they

195
00:16:03.640 --> 00:16:07.240
land uh so are they distributing that landing

196
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.920
over multiple joints are they just doing it in their knees or just doing it in

197
00:16:10.920 --> 00:16:14.840
their back that can give you um and kind of a

198
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:19.080
simple way of looking at some of the small details of how they might be

199
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:24.440
initiating the pattern and then last one i use the analogy of

200
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.120
pushing a car so when we talk about creating force

201
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.400
it's part of the reason we want to go inside out and proximal the

202
00:16:31.400 --> 00:16:34.920
distal is you get momentum going in the right direction so then the little

203
00:16:34.920 --> 00:16:38.920
guys can add more um so i use the example of

204
00:16:38.920 --> 00:16:44.360
imagine you add a car stuck in neutral on a slight um uphill and you had two

205
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.080
people who were going to push the car you had kind of a scrawny guy

206
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.960
and a bigger guy you would want the big guy to overcome inertia

207
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.280
get the car moving and then the little scrawny guy to add to it and he would

208
00:16:56.280 --> 00:16:58.840
be able to add to it once the momentum was going

209
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:03.240
but he probably wouldn't have enough force to be able to overcome so he would

210
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.960
tire himself out getting very little out of it

211
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.320
and then when the bigger guy came in he would basically have to start from

212
00:17:09.320 --> 00:17:13.480
scratch uh the example um or what i did with the

213
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:18.360
bottle reach is basically the bigger guy went first the core went first got a

214
00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:21.960
little momentum going in that direction so then the deltoid

215
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.440
didn't have to do very much when i did it out of order i actually felt more of

216
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.880
a activation or more of a strain in the shoulder

217
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:36.440
and then when i felt my body move um the shoulder and kind of finished its role

218
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:41.560
um so thinking about this momentum that's that's one of the reasons why

219
00:17:41.560 --> 00:17:45.000
it's bad form in the gym to kind of like swing the weights around because

220
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.920
the muscles aren't actually working you want to be inefficient in the gym in

221
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:53.400
order to train the muscles um harder but when we're looking at a quality

222
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.840
movement we want to use momentum and use inertia

223
00:17:56.840 --> 00:18:00.120
to our advantage in order to do that we want to get the big things moving

224
00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:05.480
before the small things in general okay so those are some simple

225
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:09.000
little guides i'm not going to call rules but those are guides for when

226
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.280
we're looking at the movement so now we're going to break down our

227
00:18:12.280 --> 00:18:16.600
skeleton our five-sided starfish and we're going to look at how to look at

228
00:18:16.600 --> 00:18:19.720
kind of each of the bigger bigger pieces

229
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.240
um so first piece we're going to look at is

230
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:29.160
spine so when we're looking at spine movement um you want to look for a fluid

231
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:35.240
or gradual curve um looking at the ribs to the pelvis is a good

232
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:40.440
indicator especially for rotation and side bend um it's not as easy to see

233
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:43.880
flexion extension from that perspective there it's better to look at the

234
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:49.080
the curve um and we want to watch out for the shoulder blade and the hips

235
00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:55.080
changing the appearance especially in rotation or side bend um so basically

236
00:18:55.080 --> 00:18:59.640
if i'm like let's say i'm side bending my spine

237
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:02.600
and we'll do it so i'm side bending my spine

238
00:19:02.600 --> 00:19:06.120
you can see that by hiking my shoulders i might

239
00:19:06.120 --> 00:19:10.440
or adding a little bit of hip action i can change the appearance

240
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.160
in the amount of side bend so this has a certain amount of side bend

241
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.880
i'm going to side bend less and move my hips that way

242
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.960
so i have less side bend of the spine but it might appear

243
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.600
that i've side bent a little bit more so we want to look at the shoulder blades

244
00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:30.040
and the hips to help clarify how much is happening at the spine how much is

245
00:19:30.040 --> 00:19:35.320
happening um at the you know more distal segments

246
00:19:35.320 --> 00:19:39.800
in general you want to look for the opposite of a smooth curve is a hinge or

247
00:19:39.800 --> 00:19:42.840
an angle um so this is easy for me to demonstrate

248
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:46.920
because i've got some some back issues so if i go to

249
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:51.400
bend down you'll see that um and we'll look at some other examples

250
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.680
you'll see that there's not an even distribution there's one part of my

251
00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.960
spine that looks like it's pretty straight um because it has a

252
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.600
slight reversal of curve um and so you'll see more movement happening

253
00:20:02.600 --> 00:20:07.880
at one area than another so that's a blocked or stuck

254
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.440
section of the spine it's kind of stuck together

255
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.840
compression versus extension this is useful for seeing what

256
00:20:14.840 --> 00:20:20.280
the core is doing so basically as like we'll use rotation

257
00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:26.920
i could rotate and kind of sag into the spine or i could rotate and elongate

258
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:31.400
so rotate and kind of sag versus rotate and elongate

259
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:35.480
and that'll give me a little extra insight into what core muscles might

260
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:40.280
be active we'll we'll save that for when we look at specific phases

261
00:20:40.280 --> 00:20:44.120
um and then again always checking out what's happening with the hips

262
00:20:44.120 --> 00:20:49.800
and with the scapula so here's two examples

263
00:20:49.800 --> 00:20:53.080
uh i'll see if i can find a better resolution of that

264
00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:58.200
so this golfer over here you can see that as they went to rotate they also

265
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:03.000
lost their pelvis a little bit and kind of decreased so this would be more of

266
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.800
that compression as opposed to elongation we can see some of these

267
00:21:07.800 --> 00:21:11.960
details but it looks like it's pretty good quality as far as like a

268
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:16.600
a smooth amount of rotation um now this would be easier to see from

269
00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:19.400
the back view um but we can see it's pretty straight

270
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.800
kind of curved here not a lot of curve there so not a lot of even distribution

271
00:21:23.800 --> 00:21:27.160
we can see a fair amount of of hike from the hips

272
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:31.080
and you can also see a compensation happening here in the shoulder

273
00:21:31.080 --> 00:21:37.000
the only reason this elbow would bend is um if he was using the bicep

274
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:42.920
uh to help elevate this um shoulder or create kind of like a hike

275
00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:47.880
in that shoulder oftentimes that's done with a little bit of bicep activation

276
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.680
so he's kind of faking the spine movement by doing it more at the shoulder

277
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:58.600
if he was doing it legit then you wouldn't see any change

278
00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:02.760
in the arm so if i i kind of hike it like this

279
00:22:02.760 --> 00:22:07.160
i'm lifting it more with the bicep instead of with the side then

280
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.080
the body is great at cheating we're going to get better at recognizing

281
00:22:11.080 --> 00:22:15.560
how and when our golfers are cheating

282
00:22:15.560 --> 00:22:20.520
so then here's some classic just kind of looking at that fluid curve so this

283
00:22:20.520 --> 00:22:23.640
one's pretty good this one's pretty symmetric we can

284
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.880
see a little bit more of a hinge there and a little bit more of a hinge there

285
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:31.960
this is kind of a more of a classic right down at the base of the ribcage and

286
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:36.200
then thoracic spine pretty flat um this is mic bender

287
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.680
he's got a pretty good hinge kind of in the lower that's probably like mid

288
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:44.920
thoracic t t 67 and if you're looking at it from

289
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.960
behind this is actually how you do a scoliosis test

290
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:53.400
to see rotationally if it's pretty evenly distributed or symmetric you can

291
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:59.960
see one side will go up when the spine is rotated in that direction

292
00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:03.720
okay so we're going to keep this in mind when we're looking at

293
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:10.440
our spine movements hip movement so first one um we're looking for

294
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:13.160
how because we're just remember we're working from

295
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:16.920
the center out so our first goal when looking at hip movement

296
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:21.880
is looking for minimal comp compensation from the lumbar spine or the pelvis

297
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:27.320
um the spine movement if they're in concert the spine movement

298
00:23:27.320 --> 00:23:31.880
should happen uh first or the spine should kind of stabilize before the hip

299
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.560
moves and we also want to look at which leg has the weight on it because that

300
00:23:35.560 --> 00:23:38.760
will create a closed chain function where

301
00:23:38.760 --> 00:23:43.720
basically the the ilium of the hip doesn't move because of the force going

302
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:47.080
through it um we're on the open side when you go

303
00:23:47.080 --> 00:23:52.840
to move the ilium will move so when there's a weight shift you

304
00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:56.040
basically go from one side is locked and the spine moves around that

305
00:23:56.040 --> 00:23:59.320
so then the other side is spot is locked and the spine moves around that

306
00:23:59.320 --> 00:24:02.760
if there's no weight shift then it would just this ilium would get

307
00:24:02.760 --> 00:24:06.120
kind of pretty much locked and the spine would move in relationship to that

308
00:24:06.120 --> 00:24:10.440
ilium okay for a few kind of guides when

309
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:13.320
you're looking at internal versus external rotation

310
00:24:13.320 --> 00:24:17.720
you want to look at as is so this point here um

311
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:23.160
right around the belt line um and compare that to the knee so if i

312
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:27.960
if i bring that down if i bend the knee so that you can see where the kneecap

313
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:30.680
is pointing that would be internal rotation

314
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.560
and that would be external rotation that's the same

315
00:24:33.560 --> 00:24:37.080
that would be internal rotation knee pointing in compared to the belt

316
00:24:37.080 --> 00:24:41.480
that would be external rotation um so that's one of the real you want to be

317
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.320
careful with this whole idea of dual external rotation

318
00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:49.640
it's not actually external rotation the knee is moving out but the hip is

319
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:53.240
actually going into internal rotation we talked about that

320
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:57.800
in level one stuff um flexion extension you're going

321
00:24:57.800 --> 00:25:02.200
to compare the as is ps is line so basically

322
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:06.920
we'll see a good example of that but here's the as is and then

323
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:10.920
back here the kind of the the point or what's called the dimple of Venus

324
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:15.480
right there is the ps is um so then when i move my hip

325
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.520
i'm looking at the hip movement compared to that line

326
00:25:18.520 --> 00:25:25.320
so this is all hip movement and then this is all back movement it kind of

327
00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:29.480
looks like my hip is moving but i'm doing a pretty good job of holding it so

328
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.360
it's not moving um most of the movement there was

329
00:25:32.360 --> 00:25:38.200
all happening at the spine um and then with the adduction

330
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:45.480
adduction uh you're going to look at either the as is or the ps is so

331
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.160
here we've got the as is line which would be one side to the other and we're

332
00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:53.560
looking at the angle of the leg compared to that

333
00:25:53.560 --> 00:25:56.920
so if i'm down to my golf posture and i shift like this

334
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:01.560
um compared to the ps is line this line leg is in this leg is out

335
00:26:01.560 --> 00:26:09.160
so this one is in a reduction this one is in uh adduction

336
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:16.120
so here's a couple examples of just looking at the lumbar spine

337
00:26:16.120 --> 00:26:21.000
so i like this one because you can see actually at the top position it's

338
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:25.640
pretty good as far as pretty neutral curve um so the hip did a good job of

339
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:28.520
moving there but as she goes to the starting

340
00:26:28.520 --> 00:26:32.440
position like if we worked it in reverse we can see that there's a lot more

341
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:36.600
curve there and if we're using the as line here

342
00:26:36.600 --> 00:26:40.840
the leg is actually forward of it so she didn't go into extension if you're

343
00:26:40.840 --> 00:26:47.320
doing that exercise correctly then it would look

344
00:26:47.320 --> 00:26:52.040
i'm going from here so you can see compared to my line

345
00:26:52.040 --> 00:26:54.840
my hip is back her hip is right about here to start

346
00:26:54.840 --> 00:26:59.080
so my hip is in extension and then i'm raising that hip

347
00:26:59.080 --> 00:27:02.200
forward and then putting it back into extension

348
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:06.840
she's putting it here and then extending from the back so the hip

349
00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:10.200
doesn't actually get into full extension

350
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:15.160
uh the one over here is better um it's hard to do single leg and be in

351
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.680
extension so that's pretty good and neutral

352
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:23.160
we'll also see compensations when we're looking at the hip rotation you can

353
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:28.280
also look at the shoulder girdle um so

354
00:27:28.280 --> 00:27:33.080
there's i couldn't find any great examples but um

355
00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:36.780
here's just a few to kind of remind you oftentimes when golfers when you say

356
00:27:36.780 --> 00:27:37.000
hey

357
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.560
turn their trunk they'll go like this and

358
00:27:41.560 --> 00:27:46.600
basically cheat and rotate their shoulders like this now

359
00:27:46.600 --> 00:27:52.200
if i want to rotate my shoulders bending my knees actually helps that

360
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.040
um so if i bend my knees it actually creates a little bit of slack so i can

361
00:27:56.040 --> 00:27:59.240
turn my shoulders further but you notice i didn't turn my hips

362
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:02.680
where straightening the leg will help me turn my hips

363
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:05.800
but it might limit my ability to turn my shoulder blades

364
00:28:05.800 --> 00:28:11.080
so if golfers are fighting turning their shoulder or sorry turning their

365
00:28:11.080 --> 00:28:13.560
hips it may be an indication that they're

366
00:28:13.560 --> 00:28:16.360
controlling the movement more with the shoulder blades and less with the spine

367
00:28:16.360 --> 00:28:20.200
in the hips so we'll we'll keep working through

368
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.320
these movements it'll be fun when we dig dig into the different phases and the

369
00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:27.720
rest of the series okay so next one knee movement

370
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:31.720
um knee movement is probably the i'd say the easiest to assess

371
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:36.520
um the main thing you want to look at the ankle look at the hip

372
00:28:36.520 --> 00:28:42.040
and then if you visualize a line in between the ankle and the hip

373
00:28:42.040 --> 00:28:46.520
the main thing we're looking for is that the knee is close to in that line

374
00:28:46.520 --> 00:28:52.200
so that it's not in what's what we call valgus or baris too much

375
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.160
that's where you can start getting some knee issues in golf

376
00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:00.120
so right here right here the the ankle knee hip

377
00:29:00.120 --> 00:29:03.400
are in a straight line and then they're they're out of line

378
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.240
one direction or the other so let's say at the top of the swing

379
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:10.760
that would be out of line that would be in line that's a better

380
00:29:10.760 --> 00:29:14.680
transmission from the hip to the ground this would be

381
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:20.520
out of line the wrong direction so um you can also look for knee rotation when

382
00:29:20.520 --> 00:29:26.200
we're looking at the foot um but that's uh that's

383
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.680
not they you can also look for hip rotation when

384
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:34.440
looking at the foot um but that's not the most important

385
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:38.360
movement of the knee so kneecap orientation

386
00:29:38.360 --> 00:29:42.520
basically here's a good example where that kneecap would be pointing forward

387
00:29:42.520 --> 00:29:45.560
here's a point where the kneecap would be

388
00:29:45.560 --> 00:29:49.880
rotated in you can see the classic internal rotation pronation

389
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.920
compensation when the knee is in like that

390
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:58.360
it just puts a lot of stress on some parts of the knee and foot

391
00:29:58.360 --> 00:30:02.920
okay looking at the foot and ankle movement we want to look at the angle of

392
00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:06.680
the heel compared to the angle movement basically is the foot

393
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:09.960
flat or coming up off the ground as it's moving

394
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:13.560
um when we're looking at the downswing here's the

395
00:30:13.560 --> 00:30:17.080
rough classic sequence so if this is my foot on the ground

396
00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:20.680
it's going to pronate first what some guys call banking

397
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:24.200
then it's going to go into extension and then lastly it's going to go into

398
00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:29.480
rotation so some golfers go into rotation first some golfers go into

399
00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:34.680
extension and then rotation and then pronation um we can look at the ankle

400
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:39.080
sequence uh for how figuring out um how they might be using their hips and

401
00:30:39.080 --> 00:30:43.400
their core against the ground as a real general guide you can look

402
00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:47.160
at the foot um pressure against the ground so are they pushing more in the

403
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.960
toes or the heels or are they pushing more on the inside or the

404
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:53.960
outside edge of the foot um toes will generally be associated

405
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:58.280
more with the quads and the front of the body the heel will generally be

406
00:30:58.280 --> 00:31:02.360
associated with the glutes and the back side of the body um

407
00:31:02.360 --> 00:31:07.800
the medial um if they're towards the inside of the foot that's going to be

408
00:31:07.800 --> 00:31:11.560
more connected to the hip and if they're on the lateral side of the foot

409
00:31:11.560 --> 00:31:17.160
that's typically more connected to the upper body or the quads um so

410
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.320
this would be more kind of glutes this would be more kind of knees or

411
00:31:21.320 --> 00:31:27.640
upper body so here you can see um at the top of the

412
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:31.480
swing you can look for a little spacing and it's easier to see when we see it

413
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:34.440
in videos we'll we'll look at that a lot um when we're

414
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:38.120
looking at these different phases um but you can see the foot coming slightly

415
00:31:38.120 --> 00:31:42.600
up or staying flat um and then same thing here so you're looking for kind of

416
00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:47.960
spacing and where the pressure is um some of those rules as far as what part

417
00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:51.800
of the foot uh depend on how the foot

418
00:31:51.800 --> 00:31:56.760
functions so if a golfer has you know compromised

419
00:31:56.760 --> 00:32:01.560
foot function you might see some funky ankle movements as a result

420
00:32:01.560 --> 00:32:08.840
um but those can be tricky to change um so but this is ideally what a foot

421
00:32:08.840 --> 00:32:12.920
looks like um until we start messing with it with

422
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.760
funky shoes and movement patterns

423
00:32:16.760 --> 00:32:26.520
okay looking at the shoulder slash elbow um scapular movement spine movement

424
00:32:26.520 --> 00:32:30.440
glenohuber movement these are all connected so what happens at the spine

425
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:33.320
influences the shoulder blade what happens at the shoulder blade

426
00:32:33.320 --> 00:32:39.000
influences the glenohumeral joint or the shoulder and vice versa so these three

427
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:43.240
you got to look at together um similarly and i didn't mention it earlier i know

428
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.840
i talked about in the webinar but um the hip

429
00:32:46.840 --> 00:32:51.160
the the hip the pelvis and the lumbar spine

430
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:54.120
work together and in concert you can't really move one without moving the other

431
00:32:54.120 --> 00:32:57.880
same thing with these three um so you can look at kind of the

432
00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:02.840
spacing of the neck for like shrugging um the back view is really good at

433
00:33:02.840 --> 00:33:03.160
looking

434
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:07.400
at how the shoulder blades are moving um and you can look at the elbow location

435
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:11.720
like where is the pit of the elbow compared to the shoulder to look for

436
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:15.400
internal and external rotation so here would be

437
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.040
a couple examples of using the pit or the neck to see what's going on

438
00:33:20.040 --> 00:33:23.000
at the shoulder blade this guy's kind of trying to fake

439
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:26.760
the look of a shrug because that's not actually how he would look

440
00:33:26.760 --> 00:33:30.600
um because the pelvis wouldn't be that level if that was his

441
00:33:30.600 --> 00:33:33.880
like the lumbar spine would have some amount of curve to it if he had that

442
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:38.280
much like but here's a good example of uh you know i just found

443
00:33:38.280 --> 00:33:42.920
somebody doing a lateral raise um and you can see that there's some asymmetries

444
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.600
going on potentially shoulder injury potentially some scoliosis

445
00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:51.320
but you can see as he lifts that right shoulder is getting more elevated than

446
00:33:51.320 --> 00:33:54.440
the left you can kind of see if i put my cursor there

447
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:58.840
there's more it's kind of cramped over here compared to this side

448
00:33:58.840 --> 00:34:02.520
so those are some of the keys you can look for as far as the shoulder in the

449
00:34:02.520 --> 00:34:09.400
scapular movement last one looking at wrist so pronation

450
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:13.320
supination you will compare where the elbow is

451
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:18.360
to the hand so elbow is pointing this way this would be um

452
00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:22.520
supination this would be pronation so this is supination this is supination

453
00:34:22.520 --> 00:34:25.560
this is supination this is all supination i'm just

454
00:34:25.560 --> 00:34:29.080
changing my elbow here's pronation i'm staying in

455
00:34:29.080 --> 00:34:32.920
pronation as i do uh different shoulder movements

456
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:38.120
flexion extension um good way is there's a couple times that the camera will

457
00:34:38.120 --> 00:34:41.720
usually be in the line and you can look at the angle of the back of the hand to

458
00:34:41.720 --> 00:34:47.000
the flat side of the forearm um radial and ulnar

459
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:50.600
that it's easier i find it's easier to look at the bottom

460
00:34:50.600 --> 00:34:55.160
um so neutral would be roughly when your middle finger is in line

461
00:34:55.160 --> 00:35:00.120
so if i just let my arm hang you can see that it's not totally flat

462
00:35:00.120 --> 00:35:05.080
so this when this is flat that's not neutral that's slightly radial

463
00:35:05.080 --> 00:35:08.280
that is neutral there's a slight angle down here at the bottom

464
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:11.800
so that's full radial which is about uh 40 degrees

465
00:35:11.800 --> 00:35:15.000
and that or sorry full ulnar which is about 40 degrees

466
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:20.200
and that's full radial which is about 25 hammering is a good example so

467
00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:24.040
this is a little bit in ulnar this one's pretty neutral

468
00:35:24.040 --> 00:35:27.400
this is this is pretty close to neutral um

469
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:31.240
this one's definitely an ulnar this kid's totally an ulnar with some

470
00:35:31.240 --> 00:35:36.680
flexion um so we we just want to get used to

471
00:35:36.680 --> 00:35:40.040
looking at the wrist from different angles and kind of seeing

472
00:35:40.040 --> 00:35:42.840
okay there's maybe a little more extension there

473
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:46.280
a little less extension because the tool he's using is different

474
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:49.560
a little more extension this guy hasn't figured out the hammer quite yet

475
00:35:49.560 --> 00:35:53.960
so not enough extension there um but you get the gist we just want to be

476
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:57.240
able to see and then if we're looking at pronation

477
00:35:57.240 --> 00:36:00.680
supination we're imagining where that elbow is pointing

478
00:36:00.680 --> 00:36:06.040
and then connecting these two bones so this one is a little bit pronated

479
00:36:06.040 --> 00:36:09.800
this one is more pronated because you can see where the elbow is

480
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:14.760
um this one is a little bit pronated and then

481
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:17.640
same thing here we can't quite see the elbow over there

482
00:36:17.640 --> 00:36:21.480
we can see this one is quite pronated and extended

483
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:25.240
so again just getting used to spotting these

484
00:36:25.240 --> 00:36:29.960
now um you'll see a lot more with regular tools pronation than

485
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:33.560
supination but in golf supination is going to be one of the

486
00:36:33.560 --> 00:36:38.120
more important movements that we're going to talk about at different phases

487
00:36:38.120 --> 00:36:41.480
okay now i had a request to talk a little bit about fascia

488
00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:44.120
um as it relates to these movements so the

489
00:36:44.120 --> 00:36:48.120
um in preparation for the next webinars you can kind of

490
00:36:48.120 --> 00:36:51.090
look at some golf swings and start using some of these framework and just try

491
00:36:51.090 --> 00:36:51.240
to

492
00:36:51.240 --> 00:36:53.720
identify what's happening at each different segment

493
00:36:53.720 --> 00:36:57.240
we'll talk more about why in the upcoming webinars

494
00:36:57.240 --> 00:37:02.200
um all right but fascia fascia is kind of one of the

495
00:37:02.200 --> 00:37:06.280
the buzzwords that kind of gets thrown around more and more it's really been

496
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:11.320
studied over the last ten years um before then it was kind of discarded

497
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:15.320
as just this white stuff when they did dissections

498
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.400
but now we know there's a lot to it um the american term for it is

499
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:23.800
connective tissue which is great um because that's really what it does

500
00:37:23.800 --> 00:37:28.360
you have one fascia so if you have a tendinitis

501
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:32.680
in some part of your body then your fascia is inflamed and you're

502
00:37:32.680 --> 00:37:37.560
you have one fascia um it's one giant sheet or one giant web with all these

503
00:37:37.560 --> 00:37:41.800
little different little compartments for each muscle, organ um

504
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:47.240
you know vessel whatever the fascia is made up of fibers, cells, and

505
00:37:47.240 --> 00:37:52.200
liquid um and the ratio of those changes depending on

506
00:37:52.200 --> 00:37:56.600
um the the tissue so you'll have some tissue that's a lot more liquid

507
00:37:56.600 --> 00:38:01.720
um and then you'll have others like say a ligament which is a lot more fibers

508
00:38:01.720 --> 00:38:05.720
and a lot more dense uh so fascia comes in different forms

509
00:38:05.720 --> 00:38:10.280
the key to maintaining healthy fascia is the distribution and circulation

510
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:16.600
of the liquid within within the tissue so when we move we basically

511
00:38:16.600 --> 00:38:19.720
redistribute this tension through the fascia

512
00:38:19.720 --> 00:38:26.360
um and the the tissue is adaptable so that we can handle more load

513
00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:29.640
um and so that we can be flexible if it was

514
00:38:29.640 --> 00:38:33.400
fascia allows you to injure one part of the system and still function because

515
00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:37.400
it's very adaptable where if it was just like more like a machine where you had

516
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:42.040
each joint had a specific role and there was no kind of backup system

517
00:38:42.040 --> 00:38:45.080
like the fascia helps provide some of the reinforcement

518
00:38:45.080 --> 00:38:48.920
then if that joint went down you'd be screwed so

519
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:52.120
fascia allows us to be very flexible and very adaptable

520
00:38:52.120 --> 00:38:58.200
um but those adaptations tend to create um our

521
00:38:58.200 --> 00:39:03.000
habitual pattern so one classic one you know the the tissue adapts the tension

522
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:05.880
so one classic one is if you're if you're sitting in this

523
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.920
position all day working on the computer or driving

524
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:11.960
you know if you do that for a little bit no big deal

525
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:15.720
right but if you do that eight hours a day many days in a row

526
00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:19.640
what ends up happening is you end up developing some thickening of the

527
00:39:19.640 --> 00:39:23.240
the tissue back there because it's constantly under load and the muscles

528
00:39:23.240 --> 00:39:25.240
aren't strong enough to do it just on its own

529
00:39:25.240 --> 00:39:30.040
so the body reinforces what's kind of denser more fibrous tissue a little less

530
00:39:30.040 --> 00:39:33.960
liquid and boom now you are stronger but you also

531
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:39.000
lost some mobility um so the the shirt analogy

532
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:44.920
is basically like this is one shirt if i if i deform this part over here

533
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:48.520
um there's some response that's happening i can even feel there's a

534
00:39:48.520 --> 00:39:51.320
little bit of movement over here right it's all connected

535
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:55.560
now if i were to hold the shirt out like here just for a second or two

536
00:39:55.560 --> 00:39:59.320
no big deal it springs back but if i was to hold this out here and hold it

537
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:04.440
there for let's say ten hours when i go to let go of it it would

538
00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:09.400
actually maintain some of that deformity um so that's more or less how fascia

539
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:14.920
works um when i look for quality movement from the

540
00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:18.600
fascia perspective i'm looking for no slack so i'm looking for

541
00:40:18.600 --> 00:40:21.960
kind of even tension through that whole chain from the fixed point to the

542
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:22.360
moving

543
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:28.120
point um that typically results in more uh coordination or

544
00:40:28.120 --> 00:40:32.680
um like quality of movement and then from a power standpoint i

545
00:40:32.680 --> 00:40:36.360
imagine that the muscles inside those little sacks of fascia are almost like

546
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:43.000
firecrackers so you know if i if i have a rubber band

547
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:47.960
let's say this is fashion i've pulled it back as i'm letting it go let's say

548
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:52.200
these firecrackers kind of fire first to pull and then these ones pull and then

549
00:40:52.200 --> 00:40:55.320
these ones pull last i'm going to get a lot more um

550
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:58.680
then potentially if these ones pulled and then these ones pull

551
00:40:58.680 --> 00:41:02.520
like if the order jumps around um it won't be

552
00:41:02.520 --> 00:41:05.880
like in as much harmony and i think of

553
00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:10.120
the that momentum analogy of of like swinging a weight or

554
00:41:10.120 --> 00:41:12.920
or you know when i went to reach for the water bottle

555
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:16.840
if they don't fire in the right order then you don't get to capitalize on the

556
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:21.160
momentum gains so it also if they don't fire in the right

557
00:41:21.160 --> 00:41:23.880
order you will lose the tension too soon

558
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:27.960
and it's one of my beliefs that when you lose that tension

559
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:33.160
you lose some of the the detail um or some of the

560
00:41:33.160 --> 00:41:38.920
precision of the movement okay i had another question about

561
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:43.880
injuries so i saw this little meme and i thought it was pretty brilliant

562
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:47.480
most injuries occur from doing too much too fast after doing too little for

563
00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:51.000
too long so basically every tissue has a tolerance

564
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.720
and an injury happens when you pass that tolerance

565
00:41:53.720 --> 00:41:56.760
the the most common ways to pass that tolerance are

566
00:41:56.760 --> 00:42:01.240
doing too much going too far so end range of motion or going too fast

567
00:42:01.240 --> 00:42:06.280
basically you know stretching or um overloading the system's ability to

568
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:09.960
handle the the eccentric load that tends to

569
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:14.840
so um too fast means i'm not able to slow it down safely

570
00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:18.600
so um end range of motion with a lot of speed is a

571
00:42:18.600 --> 00:42:22.280
with a lot of volume is the ultimate recipe for

572
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:27.800
injury so if we work up slowly which is hard for most people to do

573
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:32.040
that's the safest way to avoid injury so

574
00:42:32.040 --> 00:42:35.640
all right in the next videos so in the remaining

575
00:42:35.640 --> 00:42:38.600
in the we're going to do seven videos breaking down the difference

576
00:42:38.600 --> 00:42:41.720
the full swing and we're going to be looking at kind of the main segments

577
00:42:41.720 --> 00:42:45.960
and how they relate to take away backswing transition release follow through

578
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:47.960
finish so we'll basically going be going through

579
00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:53.000
the p-system as well as muscle phases to talk about

580
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:56.200
how the body looks a certain way and what's really going on

581
00:42:56.200 --> 00:42:59.720
so if you got any questions please comment them below

582
00:42:59.720 --> 00:43:04.040
or we can start a thread on the forum but hopefully this gives you a little

583
00:43:04.040 --> 00:43:07.000
different perspective of how you can look at analyzing movement

584
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:10.840
we'll get into the specifics of the golf swing in the next video.
