 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 Actividad Física, Dietas y Nutrición Ejercicio y Actividad Física Hygiene & Healthy Living

    RECONsider... Posture is a Myth with Bill Hartman | Episode #64

    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 Moving beyond outdated binaries like “good” and “bad” posture, they explore posture as a reflection of internal state and systemic coherence.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?

    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.

    RECONsider... Move Beyond Motor Control with Bill Hartman | Episode #63
    May 18 2025
    Free articles and courses about movement from Bill Hartman at http://uhp.network Episode 63 Overview Chris and Bill critically examine traditional motor control models in movement science, contrasting them with the Unified Health and Performance Continuum (UHPC) model. Their discussion challenges reductionist, brain-centric explanations of movement, advocating instead for an emergent, systems-based perspective that emphasizes adaptability, energy flow, and problem-solving in human movement. The episode is rich with practical analogies, clinical reasoning, and real-world examples to illustrate the limitations of conventional approaches and the strengths of the UHPC framework. Key Topics & Chapter Highlights 00:00 – Introduction The hosts set the stage by questioning the dominance of motor control theories that focus on isolated muscles and sequencing, noting how such approaches oversimplify the complexity of human movement. 01:14 – Critique of Reductionism Chris and Bill discuss how the popularity of brain-as-master-controller models stems from their simplicity and ease of teaching, but argue that this view fails to reflect the true complexity of movement systems. 08:24 – Emergence and Complexity They introduce the concept of movement as an emergent property, referencing Bernstein’s “repetition without repetition” to highlight that no two movements are ever exactly the same. Variability within a healthy range is seen as a sign of robustness, not error. 13:47 – Energy Flow and Gradients The conversation shifts to energy dynamics, with Bill using analogies of fluid flow and gradients to explain how movement is shaped by pressure and energy distribution, not just neural commands. 16:46 – Adaptation as Solution, Not Dysfunction Structural changes like twists or shifts in joints are reframed as adaptive solutions to constraints, rather than failures or dysfunctions. The hosts stress that what appears as “static posture” is actually a constrained, active solution to ongoing physiological challenges. 18:19 – Integrating Tools, Rethinking Reasoning While traditional exercises and techniques aren’t dismissed, Chris and Bill argue that the rationale behind their use matters. The UHPC model seeks to expand movement options and adaptability, rather than just “correcting” isolated problems. 20:47 – Continuum of Health and Performance The hosts explain that health and performance exist on a continuum, often with trade-offs. Optimal performance may require narrowing adaptability, which can increase fragility and risk. 24:10 – Case Example: Knee Pain A practical scenario illustrates how the UHPC model differs from traditional approaches. Instead of focusing on isolated muscle activation, the model looks at how energy is distributed through the system, using observation and experimentation to guide interventions. 32:12 – Observation and Iteration The importance of direct observation and questioning is emphasized. Rather than defaulting to “what can I stretch or strengthen?”, practitioners are encouraged to watch movement in context and look for systemic patterns. 33:53 – Systemic vs. Isolated Solutions The episode concludes by reinforcing that movement is always systemic and emergent, not simply a matter of parts or levers. Adaptations are always solutions to constraints, even if they’re not always optimal. Key Takeaways The UHPC model views movement as an emergent, adaptive behavior shaped by energy flow, constraints, and systemic problem-solving-not just neural control or isolated muscle activation. Variability and adaptability are hallmarks of healthy movement; reductionist models that seek to eliminate variation can increase fragility. Practitioners should focus on expanding movement options and adaptability, using observation, questioning, and experimentation rather than rigid protocols. Structural adaptations are context-dependent solutions, not inherently dysfunctional. Effective clinical reasoning requires moving beyond static anatomical models and embracing complexity, energy dynamics, and the continuum between health and performance. Communication, curiosity, and willingness to question established paradigms are essential for practitioner growth and improved client outcomes.
