DM #254: Want to expose your weaknesses? Get on the ground. We live in the upright position. People are great there. Compensating there and going on their merry way. What's unfamiliar territory? The ground.
Want to see the compensations and dysfunctions start coming out? Have people crawl, roll, or do just about anything on the floor. It ain't pretty. @venus2bfit's flow challenge revealed this REAL fast ?. There's a reason that it takes us humans so damn long to walk. You have to EARN the right to be on 2 feet. Most of us forget this, and take it for granted. The ground is where it all got started; where we gained our strength, our stability, and the right to be considered bipedal organisms.
Movement is absolutely medicine, and a brief foray on the ground will show you exactly what mobility and stability you're lacking, giving you both the diagnosis and prescription all in one. I guarantee it. Movement assessments don't have to be complex to be good. Get on the ground and see just how good your movement arsenal really is. I challenge you.
