À propos de cet audio

 Health. Wellness. Fitness. Getting in shape. We talk about such things based on mental models we evolve from our exposure to information, our limited understanding, and what we think is best. RECONSIDER with Bill Hartman will ask better questions to allow you to filter the good to promote better decisions when it comes to your choices of exercise and type of workout you perform at home, on the field, or in the gym. RECON will explore where some of the false beliefs about what, why, and how which exercise is best for your needs to get away from what often holds you back from making the changes and progress you desire.2023 Entraînement physique et mise en forme Hygiene & Healthy Living Mise en forme, régime et nutrition

They unpack how the term has been inflated into a one-size-fits-all solution for pain, posture, and performance — without coherence or clarity. Drawing on clinical cases, archetypal differences, and system-based reasoning, they challenge the belief that isolated core work translates into better outcomes. Instead, they argue that shape change, pressure management, and breathing strategies drive true performance and resilience. Through sharp critiques and practical examples, the episode reframes "the core" not as something to target — but something that emerges when the system is behaving well. Key Topics & Chapter Highlights 00:00 – Core as a Catch-All Chris opens by calling out how core training has become a default prescription in rehab and fitness — whether or not it's relevant. 02:45 – The Problem with “Core Weakness” Bill highlights how “core” is often blamed without a coherent explanation of what’s actually weak, where, and why. 05:10 – What Does the Core Even Mean? They break down the vagueness of the term itself — anatomical definitions vary, and functional meaning is rarely clear. 08:00 – The Myth of Bracing The discussion shifts to bracing strategies, exposing how they can reduce movement options, increase rigidity, and elevate internal pressure — especially in wide archetypes. 11:25 – Structure Shapes Strategy They explore how narrow and wide ISAs respond differently to load and pressure. “Core work” done in isolation often mismatches structural needs. 14:50 – Breathing vs. Bracing Chris emphasizes that coherent systems don’t need to brace — they breathe. Breathing modulates pressure, supports shape change, and restores variability. 17:30 – Positional Relevance The team discusses how load placement, stance, and archetype determine whether an activity supports or disrupts systemic behavior. 20:20 – Rehab Defaults and Lazy Logic They critique the tendency in clinical settings to assign core training as a blanket intervention, often without resolving the real constraint. 23:00 – A Better Question: What Is This Shape Solving For? Instead of asking how to strengthen the core, they ask what the observed shape is trying to solve. This opens up more relevant, individualized solutions. 26:15 – Core Emerges, It’s Not Targeted They close by stating that “the core” isn’t something to train in isolation. It’s what appears when the system’s timing, shape, and pressure behavior are coherent. Key Takeaways “The Core” Lacks Coherence The term is too vague to be useful. It’s become a placeholder for problems we haven’t fully diagnosed. Bracing is Not the Answer Most core training uses bracing as a fix — but that often compresses options and distorts the system's ability to move. Breath Drives Support Coherent systems don’t stabilize through tension — they use pressure gradients, breath, and timing to support action. Structure Shapes Need Different archetypes demand different strategies. Core work that ignores structure will likely create conflict. Ask Better Questions Instead of treating core weakness as a cause, ask: What is the current shape solving for? What constraint is driving it? Emergence Over Isolation Core integrity isn’t trained — it emerges when the system organizes itself well under load, direction, and breath.

    RECONsider... Posture is a Myth with Bill Hartman | Episode #65
    Jun 15 2025
    Free articles and courses about movement from Bill Hartman at http://uhp.network Episode Overview In this episode, Chris and Bill deconstruct the idea of posture as a static ideal or diagnostic tool. Instead, they define posture as a real-time behavioral strategy — a momentary expression of how the system organizes itself under pressure, context, and constraint. Moving beyond outdated binaries like “good” and “bad” posture, they explore posture as a reflection of internal state and systemic coherence. Through clinical insights, vivid metaphors, and practical examples, the conversation reframes posture not as something to fix, but something to understand. #posture #health #movement #fitness #physicaltherapy #lowbackpain Key Topics & Chapter Highlights 00:00 – What Is Posture? The episode opens with a challenge to the traditional view of posture as something to correct. Chris and Bill reframe it as behavior — an adaptive output to meet constraint. 05:30 – Strategy vs. Alignment They differentiate posture as strategy, not structure. What we see is a system trying to solve a problem, not failing to achieve alignment. 09:45 – Why “Ideal Posture” Is a Myth Bill critiques rehab and fitness standards for ideal posture, showing they overlook the influence of energetic state, phase of propulsion, and structural variability. 14:10 – Context Creates Posture Posture doesn’t exist in isolation. It's created by environment, load, and intent. The same shape can have different meanings depending on context. 19:30 – Posture as Internal Expression They explain that posture reflects how pressure and energy are being managed internally. You can’t “fix” posture without shifting the internal strategy. 24:40 – Subtle Behavior Signals From breathing to gaze, small behaviors contribute to posture. These subtle motor patterns express how the system is managing demand. 30:10 – Repetition vs. Responsiveness Chris and Bill warn that repetitive posture cueing may enforce rigidity. The goal isn’t a perfect shape, but a flexible system that can reorganize freely. 36:25 – Posture Under Load Real-world posture shows up most under pressure. They examine how system behavior changes with axial load, asymmetry, or protective compensation. 42:00 – Not a Fault, but a Strategy Postures often labeled as “poor” — like slouching — may actually be protective strategies. Shape is a clue, not a flaw. 48:10 – Clinical Language Shift They offer examples of how decoding posture — rather than correcting it — opens insight into what the system is trying to solve. 54:20 – A New Lexicon The episode closes by challenging the use of terms like “dysfunction.” Instead, posture should be seen as “expressed strategy” — a dynamic behavior, not a fixed trait. Key Takeaways Posture Is Behavior, Not Structure: It’s an ongoing solution, not a measurable static state. There Is No Ideal: “Good” or “bad” posture misses the point. What matters is the adaptive strategy behind the shape. It Reflects Systemic Strategy: Posture shows how the system is handling internal pressure, breath, and coherence — not alignment scores. Context Drives Meaning: The same posture may mean different things under different loads or intentions. Context makes the behavior legible. Correction Doesn’t Equal Change: Suppressing a posture may block the system’s strategy without resolving the constraint. Build Capacity, Not Compliance: The goal is a system that can change shapes — not one that holds the “right” one. Rethink the Target: Posture is a proxy for internal state. Instead of fixing it, ask: What is this posture solving for?

    RECONsider... Stretch and Strengthen with Bill Hartman | Episode #64
    Jun 1 2025
    Learn More From Bill Live on the UHP network http://UHP.network Episode Overview Chris and Bill critically examine the traditional “stretch what’s tight, strengthen what’s weak” model in movement and rehabilitation. They explore how this reductionist approach oversimplifies the complexity of human movement by focusing on isolated muscles rather than systemic behavior. The conversation highlights the limitations of applying neuromuscular theories like reciprocal inhibition in isolation and contrasts these with a more holistic, systems-based perspective—emphasizing that movement and pain are emergent outcomes of interacting forces, body shape changes, and compensatory strategies. The episode is rich with clinical reasoning, practical analogies, and real-world examples to illustrate why the traditional model often fails, especially with complex cases. #movement #fitness #stretching #physicaltherapy #health Key Topics & Chapter Highlights 00:00 – Introduction The hosts introduce the topic by discussing the widespread belief that movement problems can be solved by stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak ones. They question the validity of this approach and trace its origins to oversimplified interpretations of neuromuscular science. 03:12 – Critique of Reductionism Chris and Bill discuss how the popularity of the reductionist approach stems from its ease of teaching and comfort for both practitioners and clients. However, they argue that this view fails to reflect the true complexity of human movement, where muscles and connective tissues act as a system. 08:40 – Historical Context and Systemic Thinking They review historical influences, such as PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) and osteopathic models, which originally emphasized systemic behavior and movement patterns but have since been reduced to isolated techniques. 12:30 – The Reality of Stretching and Strengthening The hosts explore what actually happens during stretching and strengthening, noting that sensations of tightness are often related to connective tissue tension and body position rather than muscle length. They challenge the idea that stretching makes muscles longer and discuss the potential risks of overstretching. 18:20 – Bone and Connective Tissue Adaptation Chris and Bill explain that extreme flexibility in athletes is often due to bony and connective tissue adaptations, not just muscle lengthening. They use analogies like twisting a towel to illustrate how skeletal changes can affect perceived tightness. 23:50 – Strengthening and Movement Behavior The conversation shifts to strengthening, noting that perceived muscle weakness is often a result of body position and systemic constraints rather than isolated muscle deficits. The hosts emphasize that restoring movement options and body shape is more important than targeting individual muscles. 30:00 – Case Examples and Clinical Reasoning Practical scenarios—such as hip flexor stretches and glute activation exercises—are discussed to illustrate how traditional interventions may provide temporary relief but fail to address underlying systemic issues. The hosts explain why some interventions work in some contexts but not others. 40:15 – Signal vs. Noise in Intervention Chris and Bill highlight the importance of reproducible, lasting changes versus temporary symptomatic relief. They encourage practitioners to look for systemic patterns and to avoid over-relying on isolated techniques. 45:20 – The Bigger Picture: Adaptability and Constraints The episode concludes by emphasizing that movement is always a systemic, emergent behavior shaped by internal and external constraints. The hosts stress that adaptations are context-dependent solutions, not inherently dysfunctional, and that effective intervention requires understanding the whole system. Key Takeaways Movement and pain are systemic, emergent behaviors shaped by interacting forces and body shape changes, not just isolated muscle function. The “stretch what’s tight, strengthen what’s weak” model is an oversimplification that often fails, especially with complex cases. Sensations of tightness and weakness are often related to body position and systemic constraints, not just muscle length or strength. Extreme flexibility and perceived muscle tightness can result from bony and connective tissue adaptations, not just muscle behavior. Effective intervention requires restoring movement options and body shape, not just targeting individual muscles. Temporary symptomatic relief is not the same as lasting, systemic change; practitioners should look for reproducible, context-dependent improvements. Understanding movement as a complex, adaptive system is essential for effective clinical reasoning and improved client outcomes.
