This one is personal. It represents one set of exercises I figured out after tearing my iliac crest on both sides. I was 19, semi indestructible - or so I thought, and started feeling odd sensations around my sacrum while doing back kick drills at practice. I thought it was just more sever soreness than usual, and trained the next day. I thought I would tough it out but had a bit of concern. After training the third day it felt unbearable and I knew something was really wrong. The small tears showed up in imaging, a chiropractor helped with alignment, and I realized that the solution required that I create the alignment and strengthen everything that supported. This could not be done by someone else, it had to be solved and executed by me. I reverse engineered the position of alignment that helped me, and created a progressive set of exercises that began fixing the problem. I went from being told that I may not be able to fight again, to winning medals at Collegiate and US National Championships a few short years later. I became stronger than I originally was once my weakness rudely introduced itself to me. I stayed with me as a squatter for a few years until I realized what to do, and I evicted it. This was the first time I deconstructed movement patterns to isolate tissues, load them, and strengthen them to fix an injury. The gestation period was fully over, and though I had not yet realized it, FlexTheory was born.
