I am generally not a fan of conducting anything like a full screening before getting down to the lesson. It is often irrelevant if a student’s left elbow has a restriction if what we’re working on is their knee work. Which is not to say I don’t ever check on anything here – I will fairly thoroughly check range of motion, etc. when dealing with an area that seems affected, if the student mentions anything about tightness or pain or anything, and so on.
