💡 Most programming fails not because the exercises are wrong, but because the reasoning behind them is incomplete.
In this episode of the UHPC Podcast, Bill Hartman and Chris Wicus unpack how programming and interventions should actually be built. They walk through the full decision-making chain from principles and concepts, to assessment, to intervention selection, and why skipping steps leads to short-term wins and long-term problems.
This conversation explores why symptom relief is not the same as resolution, how compensations get mistaken for progress, and why reassessment is the most overlooked part of programming.
You’ll learn:
🔸 Why principles and concepts define what is possible
🔸 How assessment gives meaning to movement behavior
🔸 What programming is actually meant to do
🔸 Why symptom relief can hide deeper problems
🔸 How compensations emerge when reasoning is missing
🔸 Why reassessments determine whether you helped or redirected the problem
🔸 How to sequence interventions without defaulting to protocols
⚠️ Programming without reassessment is guessing. Programming without reasoning is gambling.
🧠 If this episode feels like it challenges how you were taught to program, it should.
