So traditional protocol, we started her on McKenzie's. Great lady. We're actually still friends, but she was really hurting. So we worked with her for like two, three weeks. And every time we put her in that McKenzie position, it hurt her worse. And it was local pain, but the radicular symptoms reduced.

So long story short, what we learned over time, she went back over to another place, tried that for a while, didn't work. The disc herniation was actually taking care of itself, but that annular tear was still sticking out, creating extension-based pain. So after about a year of rehab, her body was able to scar up and that healed and it was fine.

But what was really interesting to me was she needed McKenzie's early, but then we actually had to cease the McKenzie's because we were jamming that annular tear. And so then we restored just more pillar strengthening, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization, all those other things. So it's like different things at different times played a big role.

No, it's different. I mean, the best analogy is I sprained my wrist. I might have to wear a brace or something, but I can generally function. I can go to a movie. But when your ribs or your back is hurting, not only are those muscles much more big and powerful, so when they react in spasm, they're really good at it.

These small muscles in my wrist, when they react in spasm, they're like, oh, that's kind of sore. But the low back, I mean, that group of muscles is really good at freaking out. The type one fibers, postural stuff, a lot of detail. The other thing is you can't do anything without affecting you. Sitting in a movie hurts, walking hurts, affects them constantly.

And that's a big part of the rehab story is finding these little wins where they can actually do something and it either does get worse or heaven forbid, makes them feel a little bit better.

Yeah, especially if you're that person who's suffering from that injury, then odds are you didn't perform these exercises well subconsciously, so that's what set you up for it. What is interesting is the video recognition software is getting fantastic. I've demoed a few now where the AI is actually watching someone do movements and saying, hey, you know, this was too far out that way or whatever.

But that also goes in the bucket of everyone moves differently. My femur length is different than yours. So the angles with which I'm going to lunge are going to be a little different.

This idea that if you take principles and you know the symptoms, and then most importantly, you know how people react to really conservative loads, that almost tells you more than did their tibia rotate three degrees or not.

I could care way less about three degrees of tibial rotation based on AI software and care way more about, you know what, I did these lunges in this setup and we activated some neuromuscular reaction to where my glute fired a little bit better. My knee felt way better. And then when people give us that good qualitative feedback, now you know how to trim up that program.
