#4 Pressure Point

After trying it I came to the following conclusion. Tilting gives a downward force to the #4pp.

Yes Daryl,now does the "back and down" right shoulder make sense?(in another post).

(Bows), IMHO it's the only way that makes sense anymore.

Mathew,

Thanks for your insights, but i'm a little confused. In previous posts i have seen people mention the 'bumping' of the hips tilts the axis. Does this mean that it is not the actual 'bumping' of the hips that should be concentrated on, rather the correct application of extensor action down plane. Which will then have the effect of sliding the hips and tilting the axis?

Cheers,

Danny

The hip motion is indeed what tilts the spine and its the pressure points which you should concentrate on. Extensor action is a non accelerating thrust which is always always on plane. As pp4 pressure then has to adhere to pp3 staying on the plane, it forces you to send that right shoulder downplane and tilt the spine and do the correct degree of hip slide.

What's this talk about the stretch of extensor action being below plane?

The left arm is above plane and pp3 is always stretched on plane towards the plane line so the stretch pp3 has on the left arm is always below plane.
