I'm keen to understand the rationale behind your application, observed benefits, and any specific considerations (e.g., side of carry relative to the shift, load, repetitions, patient presentation) you've found effective.
From a biomechanical perspective, the unilateral farmer carry presents an interesting challenge to the lateral trunk musculature and offers potential for improving frontal plane stability and neuromuscular control, which could be beneficial in repositioning and stabilizing the lumbar spine after a lateral shift.
Thoughts?
In this case, after the sideglides, he was straighter, but lacked trunk rotation and arm swing, after the Farmer's Carries, his trunk rotation and hip rotation was significantly improved.
