Okay. Well, that's important to know. Again, speaking, I'm sorry to offend, but mostly to the male side of the equation here, a year. Not six weeks. No, not six weeks. Not 16 weeks, right? This is two-thirds by a year, which means a third still after a year are not back, right?

Amazing. We could certainly do a whole show just on DR without question, but I think we'll leave people right now with saying pelvic floor physical therapist would be the place to go. And generally your recommendation for this area, for people that want a program they're dealing with right now, or maybe they're pregnant or going to become pregnant, so on and so forth, that would be the

What you're talking about is a case of kind of hypermobility, right?

Makes sense.

Makes sense.

Going to the other end of the spectrum, somebody that needs to gain flexibility, needs to gain mobility. Outside of, of course, the foam rolling and things you've described so far. Where does static stretching land in this equation? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Should it be done in a particular way?

You mentioned at the very beginning and I said when I tend to think of manual therapy. I almost always associate this as pain. In other words, I did too much training in my quad. I'm going to roll it out so I'm not so sore. Or I think about I'm tight, right? So I'm going to use these two things. I basically didn't think about this area at all outside of those two cases.

Either I'm tight, so I want to release things more. My back's bound up. I'm tight from a 12-hour plane flight or you follow and stuff. Or and I'm sore.

You just alluded to some of them now, but what are some of the other benefits that have been shown either scientifically that you're aware of or just you've seen in your clinical practice that we can get from, and we'll just keep calling it self-myofascial release or similar-ish things?

No, but there's a lot on actual strength and torque in this specific realm. So regardless of that other section, who cares? We know for sure, and it's been shown again many times at many angles, that this stuff will enhance acute force production.

There you go. That's great. Yeah.
