DM #247: Spent the morning nerding out with my dude @dr.kreiswirth, musing over the mad genius that is @biomechanicaldetective and this little gem came to be.
Adam's #1 Adamism is: Bones move, joints feel, muscles react. I love it. Not here to have some sort of philosophical discussion about whether joints can “feel” ?. So, “feel” free to use the experience/perceive/whatever you want if you don't like “feel”. Anyway, with this in mind, I think that his phrase very nicely describes why someone's movement could look absolutely atrocious, and yet they're feeling no pain. While from an outsider's view, it may look like the knee is diving in and going into some serious valgus collapse, if both the tibia and femur are rotating at appropriate speed in relation to each other, that joint maybe perceiving the appropriate internal rotation moment, and thus the tissues around it are reacting appropriately, and the person has no perceived dysfunction. Conversely, a person's movement may look beautiful, but the tibia and femur are not rotating at the appropriate speeds in relation to each other, and suddenly the joint is perceiving external rotation when it should be perceiving internal rotation (or vice versa), and we've got ourselves problem.
Now, before any of you start talking about how dysfunctional movement and pain are not directly correlated, let me say, I know. That's why I used the world “dysfunction” in the DM, and not the word pain.
Simply wanted to use this DM to bring to light a great discussion that I've had with Adam in the past, with Ethan today, and that a bunch of the @RockTape instructors have been mulling over.
Bones move, joints feel, muscles react. Let that sink in.
