How to Improve Your Mobility, Posture & Flexibility | Dr. Kelly Starrett

Layers of silk over steel springs. And what we see is that we are loading and training at such high intensity, so such density now, that our tissues get stiff. I'm just going to hang stiffness as, for whatever reason, high fibrotic, high โ€“

density of tissues whatever the reason the tissues don't behave the way the joint system should right and that's a problem because my training shouldn't mitigate or attenuate or change my range of motion it can but now how am i keeping an eye on those changes or as you said earlier As I do a sport and I start to do a sport and specialize, I'm throwing, throwing, or I swim, or I kick on one side.

How can I start to identify as my body is changing and adapting that sport so I can drag myself back to sort of a greater readiness? And that's one of the reasons that that mobilization tool is such a powerful tool. Again, however you want to do it. I think it's useful for us when we have, I came up with this thing called the D2-R2 model because the other ray was taken, R2-D2.

So the first order of business is I want to desensitize if something hurts. If something hurts, let's desensitize it. I can do that all different ways. Scraping is powerful desensitization. Isometrics can be really useful. Rolling, BFR can give me desensitization. There's so many techniques to make my body- Blood flow restriction. Yeah, blood flow restriction.

So that no longer my brain is perceiving this as a threat. Because if you're in pain, you cannot generate the same amount of force or wattage or output, and your brain is going to start to truncate. It's going to start to lop off your movement solutions, right? It's just going to happen. So we want everyone to be saying, hey, we don't panic when we have pain.

We just treat it like another diagnostic tool. Then second D, right, we desensitize. And then we ask, is this something that'd be decongested? So decongestion means that oftentimes tissues that are swollen become more easily sensitized. Tissues that are swollen and congested don't heal as fast. If you have a swollen ankle, those collagen fibers will not knit together as fast as a, right?

If you have a joint that's swollen or a tissue that's swollen, your brain will shut down force production in and around that joint system. Is swelling an emergency? No. Is a swollen joint environment really healthy for the integrity and surface of the joint? No. We want to manage that.
