Where You Are[Stage 1 — Foundation]
What we noticed — the big picture

[One short paragraph in plain, second-person language. Name the primary pattern, the side preference, and the single movement you most want to grow, in everyday terms. Connect it gently to what the client has been feeling. Close by framing this stage as restoring movement options the body has been missing. No diagnosis language.]

Hi [First Name] — welcome to your plan
A snapshot of what we noticed together, and what we're going to work on

[Warm welcome paragraph. This document is yours to keep, revisit, and share. It is built around what we found together during your session — observations and a plan, not a diagnosis. Frame the client's pattern as smart adaptation, and this stage as gently restoring movement options. Second person throughout.]

Range of Motion — Your Numbers
[Assessment Date] · Active & passive battery · Left vs Right
How to read this table
Each row is a movement we measured on both sides. "Limited" means roughly 10° or more below full range (5° for the neck). Green badges are at goal; amber badges are building this stage. Only tests actually performed are listed — delete rows you did not run, and delete the Worst Measurement note if no SoP battery was collected.

Worst Measurement: [test name, value]. [This single lowest value from the Active/Passive SoP battery gates the stage. A more typical range is [goal]. Keep this note only if a SoP battery was collected.]

★ = most informative test for our methodology. ★★ = a Stage 1 focus area. Stage 1 markers (Conor Harris Progression Model, Week 7): SLR ≥ 50° cold, Hip Extension full, Shoulder ER ≥ 50° (APT) / Shoulder IR ≥ 50° (Swayback).

Thermal Imaging — Heat Mapping
Supporting observations · Reviewed by your massage therapist · [Assessment Date]
How to read the thermal images
The scale bar is always on the right of each image. Blue = cooler tissue (often lengthened or less active). Red and orange = warmer tissue (often working harder). Yellow-green sits in between — warm and loaded, not maxed out. These are supporting observations that line up alongside the movement testing; they do not determine the pattern on their own.

How You Walk — A Closer Look
Video observation · Posterior & lateral views · Play, slow down, step frame by frame
What watching you walk adds to the picture

Standing posture shows your ranges at rest; walking shows how your body uses or works around them in real life. Use the player below — press play, slow it to 0.25×, or tap the Frame buttons to step one frame at a time. The observations underneath were taken from this footage, frame by frame, and line up with the movement testing.

Tip: set data-fps on the player to your clip's real frame rate (often 30 or 60) so each Frame tap advances exactly one frame.
🦶 Loading & Mid-Stance — lateralized side
[At midstance on the lateralized side, describe pelvis elevation, spinal rotation toward that side, contralateral head side-bend, and foot contact. Tie to the lateralization call.]
⚖️ Single-Leg Stance — non-lateralized side
[Describe how the other side loads — arch behavior, pelvic distortion, and whether the client fully "occupies" that hip. Connect to femoral IR availability.]

📐 Sagittal posture during walking
[Lumbar curve, pelvic tilt, rib flare, head position, knee behavior before contact. Confirm the archetype seen in the postural photos.]
🦵 Hip extension & push-off
[Describe push-off strategy and step length relative to available hip extension.]
How gait connects to everything else

[Short close: how the walking findings match the testing, and the reassuring note that gait shifts on its own as range returns — the client does not need to practice "walking correctly."]

What Your Muscles Are Doing Right Now
Working-hard zones · resting zones · adaptation, not damage
[APT guideline — keep for APT clients]: In an APT pattern the glutes and hamstrings are already lengthened and quiet, so no glute or hamstring rolling or stretching this stage. All self-care stays on the front-of-body chain and the compensators (QL, lat, thoracic). For a Swayback client, replace this note with the posterior-chain + anterior-thorax guidance.

Hands-On Sessions Work Beautifully With Self-Care

Focused soft-tissue work, cupping, and gentle myofascial techniques meet your specific movement pattern where it is. That is what your sessions at LA Sports Recovery are built around. Your self-care at home is powerful between sessions, and the hands-on work fits naturally alongside it.

Living with Your Pattern — Small Wins Every Day
Tiny habit shifts that add up · your body is always listening
🪢 Dead Hang
  • Hang from a bar with relaxed shoulders for 20–40 seconds a day to decompress the spine and open the lats. Watch the demo.
  • For a shoulder injury or limitation: keep the feet supported, stay pain-free, and get cleared by your doctor before a full hang.
🫁 Breathing & Stress
  • Five slow nasal breaths between tasks lowers background tension. Try 5 seconds in through the nose, 8 seconds out.
  • [Add a grounding or stress note relevant to this client.]
🖥️ Eye & Monitor Breaks
  • Every 30–40 minutes, look to a far point for 20 seconds and reset your posture — ribs down, long spine.
  • [Desk/setup note if relevant.]
💤 Sleep Positions
  • Side sleeping with a pillow between the knees keeps the pelvis from loading asymmetrically overnight.
  • On your back, a small pillow under the knees eases the lower back out of full extension.
🚶 Walking Awareness
  • [Cue relevant to the pattern — a curiosity check, not a correction to force.]
  • [Standing/weight-shift note.]
📅 The 4-Session Rhythm
  • Work in 4-session blocks of consistent daily drills + gym, then retest your key numbers and reassess together.
  • Ten minutes daily beats one long session a week — the nervous system learns through repetition.

Progress Tracking — Self-Checks & [Stage 1] Markers
Check cold · same surface · every 3–4 weeks · markers from the Conor Harris Progression Model
How progress tracking works

Your markers are the movement signals that suggest your body is ready for the next stage. One rule matters most: always check cold, before any warm-up or rolling. Same firm surface, same time of day, same position every time. You move up only when every marker is met, not the average.

Just a friendly reminder: I'm a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) and hold a Master's in Physical Therapy (licensed in Europe), but I am not a licensed PT in the US. This is a movement-support plan, not medical treatment. Built from session findings, PT science, clinical experience, and AI-assisted assessment. Always consult your doctor if something doesn't feel right.
