RECONsider... Infrasternal Angle Confusion — Solved with Bill Hartman
<p>The ISA isn’t the answer. It’s the question.</p><p>👉 Start learning FREE at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.uhp.network">https://www.uhp.network</a></p><p></p><p>💡 Most people measuring ISAs are looking for a fixed answer. But in the UHPC Model, the infrasternal angle (ISA) isn’t a number — it’s a behavior. And if you’re basing your entire intervention strategy off “wide vs narrow,” you’re likely missing the point.</p><p></p><p>In this episode of the UHPC Podcast, we break down what the ISA really tells you (and what it doesn’t). </p><p></p><p>You’ll learn:</p><p></p><p>🔸 Why the ISA is a proxy measure.</p><p>🔸 The most common errors people make when assessing rib cage shape.</p><p>🔸 How compression, compensatory strategy, and behavior blur structural bias.</p><p>🔸 When your “narrow” isn’t really narrow — and how to know.</p><p>🔸 Why trusting the process matters more than getting the angle right.</p><p></p><p>🧠 The ISA doesn’t predict outcomes. The response to intervention does. Learn how to measure, sense, and course-correct inside the only coherent movement model that connects structure, behavior, and constraint.</p><p></p><p>🚀 Join the UHP Network FREE</p><p></p><p>🎓 Take the Free Model 101 Course, Assessment 101 Course, & Decision-Making Course</p><p>📂 Access free Q&A calls, case studies, and movement articles</p><p>🧑💻 Learn directly from Bill Hartman</p><p>👉 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.uhp.network">https://www.uhp.network</a></p><p></p><p>⏱️ Chapters</p><p></p><p>0:00 — Why the ISA conversation keeps coming back</p><p>How the YouTube algorithm loves ISA content — but it often draws people in through the wrong lens. </p><p>1:50 — What the ISA actually is</p><p>It’s a proxy for rib cage behavior during breathing — and it requires context, structure, and experience to interpret properly.</p><p>4:36 — Experience matters more than accuracy</p><p>The difference between making a wrong call and letting the response reveal your answer.</p><p>10:52 — What not to do when measuring ISA</p><p>Bill explains why using a goniometer or basing your entire intervention off of ISA alone will lead you down the wrong path.</p><p>13:44 — Archetypes, compensation, and behavior</p><p>How structure becomes more apparent after compensation is resolved and why this trips people up.</p><p>19:36 — Why behavior reveals more than structure</p><p>ISA “types” can look the same under compression. </p><p>22:36 — Measurement is a beginning, not a conclusion</p><p>This wraps with how to let the system show you where to go — even if your initial measurement was off — by using process, and KPIs.</p><p></p><p>📅 New episodes every other Tuesday @ 12 PM ET</p><p>🎧 Subscribe for direct-from-the-source education on the UHPC Model.</p><p>🔔 YouTube: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPT">https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPT</a></p><p>📸 Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/">https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/</a></p><p>🌐 Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://billhartmanpt.com">https://billhartmanpt.com</a></p><p>📘 Facebook: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPT">https://www.facebook.com/BillHartmanPT</a></p><p></p><p>💪 Train with Bill</p><p>Looking for the only training program built from the ground up on the UHPC Model?</p><p>Join the growing RECON community:</p><p>🏋️ <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reconu.co">https://www.reconu.co</a></p><p></p><p>#UHPC #ISA #InfrasternalAngle #BillHartman #CompressionExpansion #UHPCModel #MovementAssessment #Coaching #Biomechanics</p>
