All right, what is up? PT on Ice Daily Show. This is Dr. Jordan Berry, lead faculty for cervical management and lumbar spine management, as well as our T and D content over all the spine division. I've got Jenna here with me today from the fitness athlete division, and we're talking lateral shifts again. So a few weeks back, we talked about the lateral shift and how we have to be able to pick that up in order to oftentimes move forward with the planned care.

So we can't use that variation. We have to go to something in a non-weight-bearing position. So we'll talk about a few ways based on irritability that we can regress the standing lateral shift correction to be able to match that person's irritability and move forward during the plan of care, okay?
