She had already been doing the 4-sign a bit from doing it in the class and after a class a couple of weeks ago I quickly check...

One of my clients has osteoarthritis of the right knee and is awaiting surgery on the joint. She is also seeing an NHS physio who has advised her not to do the 4 sign exercises I gave her. When I do the screen she finds it difficult to place her ankle above the opposing knee (on both sides) and the bent knee is...

With two of my clients during the 4 Sign screening test they both find getting the ankle over the opposite leg above the knee very difficult. Should I take that as an automatic positive in the test and not get them to actually complete the test? (In both cases, when they do eventually get the leg in posit...

Hi, I just wanted to double check something for the median nerve test. As an example, if a client has rotated their arm and extended wrist and feels some tension that does not change when they shrug their shoulder then I know that is a negative. However, if as you move the arm to 45 degrees the area of the t...

I th...

during the 6 weeks I am working on normalise (less of course if results happen before that time), every time I see my client, I understand I need to screen again obviously to see any changes. However because during this period I am focussing on pelvic muscles spam, nerves and spine, would I still have to...

What and when?

Rachy · Rachy

Something that comes up often is the idea that someone coming to us with shoulder pain should get a shoulder exercise. Or someone with carpel tunnel symptoms, for example, should be given the Median nerve release. This is absolutely WRONG!!! As Biomechanics Coaches, imovefreely instructor or Bio...

I have a client who feels discomfort in her hip when she tries to go into the position for doing the 4-sign exercise on one side (I have tried sitting and lying). Should we be avoiding this exercise?

When I was on the module 1 course I did a screen with the girl I was staying with (she is an amateur cyclist). I did the 4-sign and leg press with her. The next day she went cycling the next day and said "thigh muscles were REALLY SORE on Sunday when I was cycling - never had that before". Could t...
