We time the clients. I see one in the morning and one in the afternoon and there are three hour appointments. So I know when they're coming. I watch them get out of the car if I can. And that's when the assessment starts. But just to go back to the dogs, my sister's a vet, her husband's a vet and her daughter's in vet training. So we have these conversations all the time.

Do you know she's already made an assessment of that dog on how it's going to behave when she injects it or has to do a rectal exam or whatnot on what dog or breed? And even in cats, which ones she's going to muzzle because she's usually right on who's going to get bit. Yeah. And interestingly as well, it's how the dog feeds off the owner.

And she can look at the owner and usually determine how the dog is going to behave. So talk about the psychosocial milieu around dog behavior. Absolutely. Going back to your question, when a person walks in. So I've had, have I had a gold medalist in sprints? Yes, I have from the Olympics. I've had a silver medalist. I've had just about every athlete that you can.

And then a person walks in off the street, all with back pain. In your mind's eye, conjure up the image of a good sprinter. Do you think they have a flat lower back or do you think they have a lot of lordosis, which is an extension hollow in their low back? A sprinter now, what will they have?

Yeah, he was 200 meters, wasn't he? 200 and 400 meters?

Yeah, he was 200 meters, wasn't he? 200 and 400 meters?

Yeah, he was 200 meters, wasn't he? 200 and 400 meters?

Well, think of some of the sprinters now, the 100 meter men and women, you will find, They have a lot more lordosis than the distance runners. Yeah, they have a lot. And what that does, I'll just explain the running mechanics here for a minute. So if you're running along, you have a center of mass. You have to bias the force under your feet behind the center of mass to propel you forward.

You have to bias the force under your feet behind the center of mass to propel you forward.

Because if it's in front of the center of mass, you're actually breaking, which wouldn't win you a gold medal. So footfall has to... occur behind the center of mass, and then you get a very brief period of time to create an extensor pulse and then recover the leg.

If you can pre-turn the pelvis with a lot of lordosis in the spine, you get much more power development behind the center of mass through the extensor range. If you have a flat back, it's difficult now. You've just shortened up the range that you can pulse into propulsive force as a sprinter.
