The nervous system can also play a huge role in all three of these categories.
Time is an important factor, as well.
And by “adapt” or adaptation, I mean things that we call modifications in asana. Do you need a block, a wedge, a blanket roll, etc?
In another context it might mean picking a different version of the pose or movement entirely. Or staying in a more shallow position.
Or deweightjng (though that would be part of the plan to build strength — not a modification in itself).
These are also things to at need to be tested!
You don’t just auto-magically know that you have (for example) above average acetabular coverage and therefore probably should not train splits.
Or that your restriction is soft tissue only.
You wouldn’t know that unless you’ve had an X-ray.
So take the shortcut: hire a physical therapist who can help you to figure out exactly what’s what in your body.
Or just come to my workshops.
