Hi Caz,

I take an even more simple approach to it...i believe that the brain knows the best way to do things and that by isolating things, we put the conscious brain in the way...Sometimes you need the conscious effort to learn a new skill or the "burn neural pathways" but often getting the right things released, aligning your posture for the functional task properly and thinking about a more general (or specific if necessary) cue before movement "eg...keep ribs still" can often result in better functional strength...

Hope that made sense )
