Again, let's look at your range of motion of that shoulder.

I bet that there's some rhyming things that maybe I've got a little restricted because I didn't know, and I'm doing all the things, and now I'm getting this feedback that this position doesn't always feel good.

Once in a while is fine, but if it's happening all the time, then we can become curious about it.

Only there was an app that had all of these simple movement tests you could do at home.

It's called the Mobility Coach.

And the reason what we're trying to do is... So let me lay out for you real quick.

Built to move, we've got really simple...

pedestrian assessments and some range of motion.

These are some things.

So Entrez N, the app has really sophisticated self-assessments, but easy to do, easy to understand.

We're gonna look at fundamental ranges and you should see it in the context, you'd be like, oh, I understand why we're doing that.

Maybe you don't understand why we're looking at rotation in some of these things,

But there are components there, and that all belongs in the hand of the user.

Then we have a whole host of professional courses where we're much more sophisticated about complete, incomplete, hands-on assessing.

But we don't need that.

For the average person, we should be able to know what our movement minimums are and

And then start to identify opportunities to work and restore those positions.

Because that is really part of the conversation that gets lost in search or in service of performance and wattage.

We're not looking at, did you express normative ranges?

Even though the classic strength and conditioning really does ask us to have full range of motion.
