Episode notes
Stress Underused Joints Regularly
- Maintain underused joints by regularly stressing them in multiple directions.
- Roger gives example of doing sissy squats, knee squats and ground kneeling shapes to 'remind' knees to keep functioning.
Test Movement With Functional Shapes
- Assess mobility by joint function not passive flexibility.
- Roger suggests using shapes like bottom‑of‑squat or ground positions to restore specific joint ranges when you can't perform them.
Distinguish Flexibility From Mobility
- Differentiate flexibility (passive range) from mobility (active capability).
- Roger's practical test: sit cross‑legged then stand up with no hands to judge mobility versus passive flexibility.
