<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">When we think about any joint, we must consider the function of the joints upstream and downstream from that joint. So in the case of knee issues when bending in warrior, we look to the hip and the ankle. Are they able to bend? Are they able to stabilize and absorb the forces from the ground? What's the position of these joints?</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">We then go deeper and ask what muscles need to engage and what connective tissue needs to pull and stabilize the joint? When we have this mode of operating, we then are far more empowered and understanding of why pain, restriction, or a feeling of weakness exists.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Take your time, and be okay with the discomfort of mobilizing your tissue, feeling new blood flow, and the sensation of new positions you may have not embraced before. The isometric hold or active position that you are engaging in is just information. </span></p><p><br></p><p><em style="background-color: transparent;">Can I engage a little more here? Am I able to create a little more space? Am I able to breathe through this? Is this discomfort my tissue opening up?</em><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">In this video, we use a golf ball (a tennis ball would work too) and a chair for balance.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">As always, ask questions below and I'll be happy to support you. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Check out Sumair’s Connection vs Position video </span><a href="https://fwfg.com/programs/connection_vs_position_with_sumair_bhasin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">HERE</a><span style="background-color: transparent;">. </span></p>
