<h1><b>When Coaching Technique Just Doesn't Work…. </b></h1>
&nbsp;
<h2><b>There’s those occasions when you have a new client &amp; you get them into position ready to squat but then they begin to move….their face contorts, knees buckle in, back bends awkwardly, elbows flare about &amp; your arms shoot forwards ready to catch them incase they topple over!</b></h2>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Back up straight, lift your chest, push your knees out</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">…” you encourage but inside your head you’re actually face palming as you silently wonder how on earth they can’t understand such simple cues!?!?!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">However no amount of teaching or coaching cues seem to help them improve, so you decide to lose the bar &amp; head back over to the machines….</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">In your mind you’re questioning…. </span>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“What should I do with them to improve their movement?”</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I wonder if it’s their calves? Or back? I wish I could remember my muscle attachments to work it out”</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“How can I work out where the problem is coming from?”</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Why can’t I work it out?”</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Other PTs seem to always know more than me, why is that?”</span></i>

&nbsp;

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“How can I get a deeper level of understanding my clients body?”</span></i>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">You may even doubt your ability to coach!</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">This can be a real challenge for PT's trying to work out which area of the body the limitation/compensation is coming from since every joint is involved in some way.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">OR</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Actually more commonly which ‘combination’ of limitations!!?</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><b>Finding A System That Works</b></h2>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If we learn or create a system that enables us to use a step by step approach to addressing our clients movement issues, then we can monitor progress, just as we would with their nutrition plan or strength training programme. </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Being able to evaluate the movement quality of each joint &amp; structure one at a time to systematically either address them or rule them out of the list of potential compensation areas, we can have confidence in knowing what steps to take towards movement improvements</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><b>A System Suggestion Based On Evidence</b></h2>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">There is evidence to suggest 60% of dysfunction comes from the pelvis so this could be a logical place to start</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">The spine sits in the pelvis so would be a sensible place to address next</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Shoulders have a biomechanical link to the opposite side of the pelvis so might be a great place to follow onto.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Knees &amp; their stability would require everything above to have been prepared since their degree of control comes from above and of course the feet following on from that offer, would offer a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">systematic approach</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to ‘ruling things out’ </span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Other systems may suggest starting at the feet of course….and so to be clear it is more important that you follow a system, than which system you choose to follow. If you are following a system, clarity can be gained so start where you like &amp; follow a logic that works for you, your training and your logic.</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><b>A System Within A System </b></h2>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">While we have divided the body into areas for a suggested system above, we should probably also consider the sub-systems. For example the muscles, nerves &amp; joints as a way to work systematically in each area too. So being able to test each sub-system of each body part can also make our detective work both fascinating &amp; rewarding.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Whichever ‘system’, or series of systems, you follow the point to all of them is to know what has worked, what hasn't worked and what to do next. Rather than randomly addressing various issues, not knowing what’s affecting what, if we follow a system we can be more confident about our clients key biomechanical pillars</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">With a system we can monitor &amp; demonstrate progress which offers our client clear results and we can know what is affecting what more logically coming from an informed place.</span>
<h2></h2>
<h2><b>What’s your system?</b></h2>
<h2></h2>
<h2><b>Would you like to learn an evidence based one?</b></h2>
&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Biomechanics Coaching teaches coaches &amp; trainers a very simple evidence based system of tests &amp; special techniques that give you absolute clarity &amp; confidence about what to do &amp; when...even when things don't happen in the way you expected or even when the ‘issues’ your clients presents with are vague, various and often complex.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So when your new client gets under that squat bar, as you throw your arms out ready to catch them…you’re thinking “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">I know exactly what I need to do here…</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.”</span>
