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

And does that expression give us greater biomotor output? Because those are objective measures. When biomotor output, I mean range of motion, force production, power, right? I see that I can express the physiology in a unique way that makes me more effective. And that is why you'll see suddenly we have this definition that is maintaining the physiology and aspects.

I'm not going to have as good shoulder flexion. with my arm over my head is when I'm sitting up taller or in a position where I can take a bigger breath. And I think that's what's really great, because that gets us away from good posture, bad posture, into, hey, that position doesn't serve you as well in these circumstances.

And in this position, I'm working with the pararescue team in the Air Force. The number one reason they were having back injuries was getting the litter out of the helicopter. because they have a litter, the soldiers there with all their gear on, they've got a lift from a totally weird flexed position, right?

And this just turns out that's not a really effective posture position shape that transfers to handle these higher loads. So what do we do? We work on the range of motion. We give them skills to try to organize more effectively in that shape. And lo and behold, we can reduce injury risk and injury incident in those soldiers, right?

So what we're always thinking about here is let's get away from good and bad. And posture doesn't matter. And it also doesn't matter at low load, low speed. And I want to be very clear about that. So you can get away with murder. at low velocities and low speeds, but speed kills.

Oh, everyone's fine, but when that speed wobble starts to happen, we start to see greater likelihood of deflection from posture, your abs don't work as effectively, you can't create the same intra-abdominal pressure, right? Check, check, check, check, check. So that's why we always are saying, hey, is this true?

that you're saying under high load, high speed when there's consequence, because maybe this set of conditions works under these conditions, but it doesn't work across all conditions. And for me, I'm trying to take the best information I have working in sports and performance and trying to transmute that to my family, transmute that to my neighborhood and to the kids I'm working with.

I think you said it was like a stately... Let me just... There's no wrong way or right way to stand up or sit down, everyone. But there are ways that reflect...
