Every metric we have has a qualitative and a quantitative associate. So the quantitative, we have minimums. It's either time or percentages of body weights for every test or distances, like you mentioned on the broad jump. But then there's also like, how does it look? And then the how it looks one is the vague part of the movement world.
So you're going to have your coach and myself both looking at it. But then we have other ways where we're confirming that with our motion capture machines, with our force plates, with our videos that analyze the movement. So there's a lot of ways to confirm. You can also see these things cross over.
So how does someone do on the double leg versus single leg gives us a really nice window to, okay, where's the lack? Great example, two leg, really strong, they're solid. We put them on single leg and they're abnormally less functional and weak and don't have the range. So I'm immediately thinking, okay, there's a balance control issue here.
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?
But that's what's been fun for me about 10 Squared is I don't have all these environmental constraints. I could just get to look at people.
Yeah. Let's take a breath and be really detailed. And so with Jill, the PM&R docs and the physiatrist will always kind of give you different amounts, but usually two rounds for her issue. So you do one round of PRP, basically do nothing. And then you do another round about two weeks later, and then you slowly let that heal and you start to add physical therapy. So
With Jill, total time, we were doing a ton of stuff around the area of the injection right away. That's imperative. You don't stop everything. You just protect the area and you train everything else. So that is going to be one of the reasons why we get a lot of success with her. And then back that up with, we really did targeted physical therapy for that site to promote the healing. So
The physical therapy side, they're using a ton of things like BFR, dry kneeling where necessary. Everything you can to just help those parts heal, foster that growth hormone, foster that protein synthesis, build that muscle up without a lot of force in the tendon. All those things that a traditional physical therapist that knows what they're doing, they can crush that.
Yeah, and she for eight weeks had to swim. She was pleasantly open-minded. It's hard for every athlete to not do their sport. I get that. But I've delivered that medicine over and over for a long time. And so she swam. So she didn't lose any true cardio, right? She lost a little bit of running strength.
But someone with her background and her base and then keeping everything else really strong, she's going to hit the ground running. And she's running now and doing really well. And so I always say I have two athletes. I have an athlete that I have to encourage, like it's okay.
Those tend to be more your traumatic, acute, like ACL type people where you got to show them in the lab and show them in the gym that it is okay. Keep pushing, you're good. And then I have the other athletes where you have to hold them back. And so Jill's going to be that one, like, let me go, let me go. And we have to play bad cop just enough where science supports that.
