    Reconsider... Back Pain with Bill Hartman | Episode #45

    Join Bill’s UHP Network Today http://UHP.network Summary Back pain is a common and complex issue with various potential causes. It is a difficult topic to discuss due to its nondescript nature and the lack of a one-size-fits-all solution. Takeaways Back pain is a common issue with no one-size-fits-all solution. The percentage of people who have experienced back pain is high, and there is no blanket protocol to resolve it. Biomechanical factors, such as excessive pressure or tension, can contribute to back pain. It is important to seek the help of a qualified practitioner who can evaluate movement and range of motion to rule out biomechanical reasons for the pain. Individualized care is crucial for effective treatment of back pain. Sound Bites "What percentage of human beings that have walked the planet have back pain? It's 100%. All of them." "There's no one diagnosis that would lead to it. There is not necessarily a structural reason for it. So right away, we are all over the place in regards to why you may have back pain." "Biomechanical sources might be one of the easier things to rule in or rule out."

  • Reconsider... Hand and Foot Contacts with Bill Hartman | Episode #43

    Reconsider... Hand and Foot Contacts with Bill Hartman | Episode #43

    Join Bill’s UHP Network Today http://UHPnetwork.mn.co The conversation explores the misconceptions and analogies between the hand and foot in relation to movement and exercise. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the evolutionary development of the extremities and the role of internal rotation. #physicaltherapy, #strengthandconditioning, #billhartmanpt, #handcontacts, #footcontacts Takeaways The foot and hand develop differently and have distinct functions and movement patterns. Proper hand and foot contacts are crucial for optimal movement and performance. Compensatory strategies may provide symptomatic relief but can lead to further issues. Assessing and addressing movement issues requires considering the entire kinetic chain. Understanding the analogous structures between the hand and foot can provide insights into movement patterns and contact points. Hand contact during movements like crawling and dips can be compared to foot contact during walking and running. Certain bones in the hand, such as the pisiform and sesamoid bones, have direct counterparts in the foot.
