Renowned for her groundbreaking work in movement impairment syndromes, Dr. Sahrmann has transformed the way physical therapists and strength coaches approach training and injury prevention. During our conversation, Dr. Sahrmann dives into the intricate relationship between muscle hypertrophy, strength training, and the resulting stiffness that can impact movement quality. She emphasizes the importance of movement assessments, posture, and motor control in developing effective training programs. Dr. Sahrmann also challenges common misconceptions about pain, posture, and muscle activation, offering a fresh perspective on how to prevent injury and enhance performance.   Key Takeaways: Hypertrophy increases muscle stiffness, affecting movement quality. A balance between strength and flexibility is essential for long-term training success. Motor control is a blend of muscle activation and nervous system coordination. Muscle weakness can develop even in well-activated muscles due to compensatory patterns. Posture offers key insights into muscle stiffness and imbalances. Standardized assessments can help identify movement impairment syndromes early on. Movement patterns, rather than structural issues, are often the root cause of pain. Individual anatomy must be factored into exercise programming. Teaching relaxation techniques is crucial for muscle control and recovery. Strength training should aim to correct movement patterns, reducing the risk of injury. Tune in for a deeper understanding of how Dr. Sahrmann’s expertise has shaped the modern approach to physical therapy and strength coaching.   Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction [00:48] The Role of Stiffness in Movement Quality [02:35] The Importance of Individualized Assessments and Treatment Plans [05:57] Optimizing Movement Efficiency and Preventing Injury [24:46] Assessing Femoral Retroversion and Antiversion [27:12] Pelvic Rotation and Abdominal Support [29:24] Activating and Strengthening the External Obliques [36:32] Individualized Exercise Selection [47:29] Introduction and Programming for General Population [50:11] Alignment and Shoulder Blade Position [51:53] Detraining and Upward Rotation of Scapula [54:28] Restoring Range of Motion and Relaxing Muscles [57:53] Assessing Hamstring Function [01:00:05] Downregulation of Hypertonicity [01:02:12] Final Thoughts and Takeaways     📌 Connect with Us: Subscribe to the Becoming Ronin Podcast for weekly doses of motivation and inspiration.
