Because on two legs, I'm really stable, but on one leg, I'm significantly less stable and it's much more complex for the body. And so if their scores, even though they're strong and their quads have the capacity, but when they're on single leg, they're not strong and they can't stabilize, that gives me a window right away to saying this person has a major balance risk or things like that.

And in the case of that individual, do you not progress them? No, we find their floor and we build from there. So some people will have really cool, robust Instagram-worthy exercises for one region, but another area we're filling in gaps, we're building foundations, and we're basically building them up from wherever those floors are.

And the key for us is this big grid we have where we have every category movement we care about, and then we build them from their floor. So I'm really a visual person, but I always say, okay, we have this baseline floor, maybe for their upper body pull, they're on the third floor, they're badass, they're killing it. But then their core stability in one plane is like in the basement.

Like I'm worried about a lumbar stenosis or a nerve issue. So that takes precedence first, because I don't want this person to experience pain. And I want to build them up to where they're all on the first, second, third floor of the building.

The next step was immediately, you have to have a parts approach first. If I have a damaged part, we got to make sure, does that need intervention or not? How are we going to address that? So with Jill, we knew her foundational underlying movement patterns or dysfunctions, if you will, that were contributing to that.

So we put a package together for her program that was all of those underlying structural functional issues that didn't make the hamstring worse. We started building those right away while we considered platelet-rich plasma. And she actually ended up going for it to create essentially regeneration of that tendon at the damaged site, which she did perfect with.

We had to have a lot of come to Jesus conversations about you cannot run too soon. If we're going to go through all this trouble and financial costs, we want to make sure that that can heal as much as it can. So everything we did in her programming was to ensure we didn't flare that up.

And then conversely, we really communicated with not just the strength team at 10 Squared, but also her physical therapist offsite and her running coach. And all of us had to put together this six-month plan where her running coach didn't accidentally flare it up because he does have a window to everything we're doing.

He definitely needs to talk to the PT, as did we, to where she could, quote, get medically cleared.

So because of her timing for the race and she wants to run Boston, we had a little extra runway. So the more healing time you can get, the better. We have a lot of people who are like really impatient, dying to get back to running. Yeah, if you're a pro athlete, you might not have that luxury. You don't have that luxury, right?
