Something we spoke about a lot at the recent workshop, very useful if you work with clients who keep coming back with the same restricted range. The instinct when mobilisation isn't holding is to do more of it, more reps, more time, more pressure into the range. But if the nervous system has decided that position isn't safe, you're not going to stretch your way past that decision. It's not a tissue problem. It's a threat response. The actual fix is building trust. External stability strategies, a hand on a wall, holding onto a bench, let the nervous system practice the range in a controlled environment. The tissue doesn't change. The range doesn't change. But the brain's risk assessment does. From there, the work is weaning off the external support so the body can generate that stability internally. This principle shows up constantly in the gym and in clinics. Restrictions that aren't responding to mobilisation aren't always a mobility issues. Sometimes the body is just waiting to feel safe enough to go there. Where are you seeing this in your clients right now? Hip and T-spine cases especially, drop them below. 👇

I stopped taking on new clients about a year ago. The mentorship grew quickly and something had to give. I've spent that time teaching movement mechanics to coaches and clinicians full time. In doing that the assessment process has got sharper than it's ever been, and I'm ready to work with individuals again. I'm looking for 3 people to work with before I open this up properly. If you train seriously and you've got something that keeps coming back despite doing all the right things, the recurring injury that physio has helped temporarily but never solved, the movement limitation quietly capping your performance, drop me a DM and tell me what you're dealing with. I'll tell you if I think it's something I can help you move past. Ash

Hi all, looking for some clarity on pronation mechanics. In the exercise of the week / coaching pronation, one cue is that pronation is only occurring when our mass is behind our centre of balance. However in the knee case study of David to test pronation he is in a forward leaning / forward centre of mass position. Just wondering why we would test it in this position if we are expecting the foot to be favouring supination here . Cheers!

As a thank you for being part of this community, I wanted to give you priority access to our next live event: If you’ve ever felt like there’s a 'missing link' between getting a client out of pain and getting them back to high-level performance, this is for you. We're running a 2-day in-person workshop in London on June 25–26: The Hybrid Clinician. I'm co-hosting again with @Natasha Osgood (TTS mentee, chiropractor, athlete, and very good egg), so you’ll learn how to navigate the whole injury journey. We will cover: 🔍 Best Bang-for-buck assessments: focus on the ones that have the most impact 👷 Findings to Fixes: Turn assessment results directly into a specific exercise prescription 📋 Programming: no more generic PDFs, design your client's plan to be exactly what they need to get better 🧘 Self-Help: You’ll get assessed yourself and leave with a plan to fix your own limitations so you can truly embody the work. We're giving this community first access before we launch it publicly. Super Early Bird: £397 (£200 off!) - Only 5 spots with code SUPEREB Early Bird: £497 (£100 off) - Code EARLYBIRD Details and booking: https://go.thetrainingstimulus.com/workshopjune If you have any questions about the curriculum or if this is right for your specific background, drop a comment below, and Tash or I will jump in!

Hey guys! I'm currently training for a one arm pullup. And I've realized I have many upper body limitations especially in my t-spine (left rotation) I recently got some left shoulder impingement. It's nothing severe but will become bad if not addressed. I've had notoriously tight lats. And since my dips were always sexy haha and bench press was decent (120kg for 6 reps) I never really addressed my pecs. Holy fucking crap are they tight and shitty. I am doing this exercise from the Skool exercise library that Ash posted. It's really a killer! This is my first attempt at it. Feel free to criticize the hell out of it. The range of motion is not comedy I'm actually really trying here lol. I think lengthening my pecs like this will help tremendously with my shoulder impingement and contribute to achieving the one arm pullup. Anyone have any experience with this? Let me know what you guys think! All the best, David
