Listen "RECONsider... Why Your Assessments are Wrong with Bill Hartman | Episode #70"
Episode Synopsis
Episode OverviewBill and Chris unpack the philosophy and implementation of assessment within the UHPC Model, showing how testing reveals energetic behavior—not just structural position. Rather than focusing on static joint angles, they illustrate how relative motion, systemic organization, and phase-based strategies tell the real story of what a system can or cannot do. The discussion critiques isolative and reductionist interpretations and offers a coherent, propulsion-informed approach to understanding and intervening effectively.Key Topics & Chapter Highlights00:00 – What Assessment Is For02:30 – You’re Probably Not Measuring What You Think You Are06:40 – What ER and IR Measures Actually Tell You09:10 – Relative Motion vs Orientation12:00 – Local Symptoms Are Global Behavior Problems14:00 – ER = Space | IR = Pressure16:30 – Table Tests Aren’t Neutral20:00 – Propulsion Phases Reveal the Strategy24:00 – The Tests Reveal Potential, Not Performance27:30 – Even If You Don’t Do Table Tests...Key TakeawaysAssessment reveals system behavior, not joint capacity.You’re always measuring shape, not parts.Table tests show potential, not upright readiness—but they’re foundational for interpreting strategy.Relative motion is key. Orientation without opposition means compression and less adaptability.IR = pressure. ER = space. Both are phase-dependent, not just joint-specific.Complex movements reflect strategy. Know what you’re seeing.No movement is neutral. Every behavior reflects an energetic solution—or a compensation.LEARN MOREJOIN the UHP Network to learn directly from Bill through articles, videos and courses.http://UHP.network FOLLOW Bill on IG to stay up to date on when his courses are coming out:IG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/TRAIN WITH BILLInterested in the only training program based on Bill Hartman’s Model?Join the rapidly growing community who are reconstructing their bodies at https://www.reconu.co FREE EBOOK by Bill about the guiding principles of training when you fill out your sign-up form. http://www.reconu.co SUBSCRIBE for even more helpful content:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPTIG: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/FB: https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPTWEB: https://billhartmanpt.com/Podcast audio:https://open.spotify.com/show/7cJM6v5S38RLroac6BQjrd?si=eca3b211dafc4202https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reconsider-with-bill-hartman/id1662268221or download with YT Premium
