When something feels tight or restricted, itโs easy to assume that exact spot is the problem.
But your body doesnโt move one joint at a time.
A limitation at the hip can influence how your pelvis moves. Your pelvis can affect what happens through the trunk and legs. And sometimes the place where you notice the restriction is simply where the compensation shows up most.
Thatโs why movement assessment is about looking at the whole picture โ not just chasing the area that feels โstuck.โ
We want to understand:
โข What joints are contributing to the movement
โข Where range may actually be limited
โข What other areas are compensating
โข How the body organizes the movement as a whole
Sometimes the answer is closer than you think. Other times, you need to look beyond the obvious area to find whatโs influencing it.
Movement is connected.

Ever do an exercise and feel it somewhere completely different than you expected?
That can be useful information.
With a clamshell, you may be able to complete every rep while the lateral hamstrings are doing more of the work than intended. The movement still happens โ but the strategy behind it can be different.
Thatโs why we pay attention to more than whether you can simply complete the exercise.
A change in pelvic position can change what you feel working and help shift more of the effort toward the glute med.
One simple question can tell us a lot:
โWhere do you feel this?โ
That feedback can help us notice when another area may be taking over and whether the position or exercise setup needs to be adjusted.
Donโt just get through the reps.
Pay attention to how your body is doing them.
Move with intention.

We`re proud to support the Wounded Warrior Project community through an upcoming ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ & ๐๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ session on November 6 in Tacoma, WA.
Dr. Becky and Dr. Isaiah will lead an interactive session for Wounded Warrior Project alumni and their families, exploring common causes of back and hip pain, how discomfort affects everyday movement, and practical ways to improve mobility.
Beyond the discussion, participants will take part in guided exercises and hands-on activities they can use to support their well-being at home.
We`re grateful for the opportunity to share our expertise and support a community that has given so much. ๐

๐ Stronger communities start with showing up for one another.
Physio Performance was honored to support the CRMO Warriors Walk-A-Thon & CRMO Awareness 5K at Magnuson Park in Seattle!
CRMO (Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis) is a rare autoinflammatory bone condition that causes inflammation and pain. Raising awareness helps support the patients and families navigating this diagnosis and reminds them theyโre not alone. ๐
We were proud to contribute a raffle basket filled with goodies and one month of complimentary strength classes to support this incredible cause.
Sometimes, a connection with a parent in our community opens the door to something bigger. Weโre grateful for the opportunity to support the CRMO Warriors community and help bring awareness to CRMO and the families connected to Seattle Childrenโs.
Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and continues to advocate for those affected by CRMO. Weโre proud to support our community, one connection at a time. ๐

More movement doesnโt always mean better movement.
Your body is really good at finding ways to get a task done, even if that means borrowing motion from somewhere else.
Thatโs where compensation can show up.
You may appear to have more range, but the movement might actually be coming from your pelvis, spine, or another joint instead of the area youโre trying to train.
Thatโs why we look at more than just how far someone can move.
We also look at:
โข Where the movement is coming from
โข Whether the position stays controlled
โข What changes when compensation is reduced
โข How well the body can own the range it has
Sometimes the movement gets smaller when you clean up the compensation โ and that can actually be a better result.
More range isnโt always better range.

Your hips are designed to move in multiple directions. Forward, backward, side to side, and through rotation. These movements work together with your pelvis to help your body move efficiently.
But when certain areas become stiff or restricted, that movement doesn`t just disappear. Your body often finds another way to accomplish the task.
And sometimes, your lower back becomes the backup plan.
Instead of the hips and pelvis contributing the movement they`re designed for, the lumbar spine may start taking on more motion to compensate.
Over time, this can contribute to increased stress, discomfort, and movement patterns that don`t feel quite right.

Understanding how your hips, pelvis, and spine work together can help identify where movement is limited and what may be contributing to those compensations.

More range doesnโt always mean better mobility.
Sometimes the body finds another way to create the movement youโre asking for.
In a clamshell, for example, letting the pelvis roll backward can make it look like the knee is moving higher, but some of that extra motion is coming from the pelvis instead of the hip.
Once you control the pelvis, the movement may actually get smaller.
And thatโs okay.
Because the goal isnโt always to move as far as possible. Itโs to understand where the movement is coming from and whether you can control it.
Thatโs why we look beyond โHow far can you move?โ
We also want to know:
Can you maintain your position?
Can you control the range?
Are you using another part of your body to get there?
Sometimes less movement with better control tells us a lot more than simply chasing more range.
Quality of movement matters.
