- Ep. 65: Is Load Tolerance Important for Tendonitis?
Welcome to the Resilient Rehab Podcast with Alex Effer, a Clinical Exercise Physiologist, Strength and Conditioning and Biomechanics Expert who has helped 1000s of trainers, clinical practitioners and movement professionals get faster and more consistent results with their clients.
In this episode, Alex breaks down a question asked during the Gait Assessment Course about load tolerance as it relates to tendonitis and whether or not it's the most important aspect for rehabilitation or not.

8 min - Ep 62. The Hidden Truth Behind Lateral Pelvic Tilts (Hip Hike)
Most people think a hip hike is a muscle problem — something to stretch, release, or strengthen away. In this episode, Alex breaks down why that's backwards. A hip hike isn't the cause of dysfunction, it's the result of it: a compensation for where your base of support, pelvis, and spine are positioned in space. Alex walks through the full mechanical chain, from foot pronation to femoral rotation to rib cage position, and lays out the sequence for actually resolving it.
What You'll Learn- Why muscle tightness at the hip is a reaction, not a root cause
- How a shifting base of support drives the pelvis (and eventually the whole spine) to rotate
- The specific chain reaction behind a right hip hike: base of support shift → pelvic rotation → spinal rotation → compensatory hike
- Why the "down" hip matters just as much as the "hiked" hip — and what's happening at that low, posterior side
- The role of hip flexion and internal rotation (or the lack of it) in triggering the hike
- A practical restoration sequence: restore hip flexion/IR → decompress the posterior pelvis → drive hip extension while keeping the pelvis open → let the opposite side accept force and pronate

7 min - Ep. 61 You Shouldn't Tuck Your Ribs or Hips: Client Case Study
Two of the most common cues you'll see online: "tuck your ribs" and "tuck your pelvis", feel like they're fixing posture, but they're usually just shuffling the whole structure around and creating new compensations.
In this episode, Alex Effer breaks down why cueing the rib cage and pelvis directly tends to backfire, and shares a simple framework for getting the same positions through your hands, arms, feet, and legs instead.
If you've ever told a client to "tuck under" and watched them collapse, this one's for you
What You'll Learn- Why "tuck your ribs" and "tuck your pelvis" rarely produce the position you're after
- How tucking the pelvis quietly turns into a butt wink and a rounded lower back
- How tucking the ribs cascades into a forward head and rounded shoulders
- The distal-to-proximal principle: using the hands and feet to reposition the rib cage and pelvis
- Better cues and exercise swaps for the push-up position and for anterior pelvic tilt
- When the real fix isn't a cue at all — it's choosing a more appropriate exercise

8 min - Episode 60: The Real Reason People Have A High Arch
Do you have a high arch that never seems to improve, no matter how many foot drills, pronation exercises, or mobility routines you try?
In this video, Alex Effer breaks down why a rigid high arch is often a symptom of what's happening elsewhere in the body, not just the foot itself.
You'll learn how the ribcage, pelvis, hips, and overall body position influence foot mechanics, why the toes and heel create the shape of the arch, and why simply trying to flatten the foot often misses the bigger picture.
Topics covered:
• High arches (pes cavus)
• Foot pronation
• Toe gripping
• Pelvic and ribcage positioning
• Internal rotation
• Movement compensations
• Exercise selection
• Restoring foot mechanics
