After a weekend workshop developing the Programming and Interventions course, one finding kept showing up across every practitioner in the room. The most common mistake was not arresting the forward and rightward projection before attempting to move from right to left. Even experienced practitioners with years in the model were skipping or rushing through this step.
This is not a positional episode. This is about the single most important starting point for intervention sequencing and why getting it wrong undermines everything that follows.
If you have ever put a client into a left front foot forward split stance and wondered why measures are not changing, this episode explains exactly what you skipped.
What we cover:
- What the P&I workshop revealed about a universal gap in practitioner sequencing
- Why arresting forward and rightward progression must come before any left-side projection
- The late ER shape and why it does not become early propulsion without IR superimposition
- Right low oblique as the starting constraint most people skip
- Why right foot elevated split stance comes before left foot elevated
- Phase constrained versus phase integrated activities explained
- How taping a foot into ER creates the exact failure pattern this addresses
- Why improving ER measures without IR improvement is a red flag not a win
Leave a comment: have you been defaulting to left-side-first activities without establishing the right-side constraint? Tell us what changed when you flipped it.
