And then we gave him these stabilization drills, which helped that glute just relax for once. What we see all the time in the clinic setting is muscles are meant to be a muscle. My bicep is meant to contract and relax. It's not meant to be a shoulder stabilizer. But if my stabilization isn't doing its thing, then that bicep and the trap and all these other muscles try to help.

And that's where we lose freedom of movement because your body is essentially perceiving a little threat, a little instability, and so it tightens other structures up. So then I see people coming into our office saying, will you dry needle this or work on me or do soft tissue work? They go to the stretch place. That's going to be a six hour benefit.

But if we activate this deep stabilization system and get all the parts moving in unison and in sync, all of a sudden those movement problems go away and you're much more robust and strong.

Dynamic stability. Absolutely. And there's a ton of analogies I've heard over the years. I'm not a car expert like you, but one of the ones I've used a lot in my practice is for a while, I had this really old truck that we were working on and it was like a mid eighties Chevy kind of thing.

And when you turn the wheel from my hands are at, let's say nine and three, it wouldn't turn until my hands got to like 12. The steering on that thing was sluggish. So that dynamic stability, it wasn't very good. Whereas like an F1 car or go-kart, that thing moves with micro movement.

So if you translate that to the human body, anybody listening, if I said, hey, do a skater hop where you leap laterally from one side to the other, how you land, can you stick that landing or are you falling over as you go? And there's a million variables involved there, but the big ones, of course, are your rate of force. Can you absorb that?

And there's a million variables involved there, but the big ones, of course, are your rate of force. Can you absorb that?

Can all your tissues, the arch, the Achilles, the IT band, the hip, your core, can all those tissues kick on at the same time to create stiffness, number one? And a precursor to that is where's your balance? To generate that first force, were you organized or did you have to like throw your head and hands a weird way to generate the force, but now I'm not in an optimum landing position.

So what a lot of times you see in youth athletes is people rush to put strength on them, but a really good strength coach can put strength on a college athlete, you know, in eight weeks. But do they have speed? Do they have organized movement? Are they quick in all planes of motion? Is their balance really good? Because now my nervous system, my software is ready to absorb all these things.

And then you put strength on top of that. That's a great athlete. And a lot of these genetic people that are just naturally really good, they have some of that underlying ability to where they can land and organize well. And then later they put strength on.

Pick a sport and you can show me somebody who was really athletic and they weren't really big and strong, but you can put the strength on later. And that's one of my biggest personal passions is these 14 and 15 year olds who just get berated in the gym and then they tweak their back.
