Merry Christmas! In this final episode of the #SquatSeries, we cover the entire upper torso and the role it plays in the squat, along with some common injuries & dysfunctions that can come along with it. What we see is that there are two popular dysfunctions that cause the low back to be stressed severely during squats. 1) Poor connection with the core (improper bracing, breathing, weakness etc.) & 2) A poor relationship between the thoracic spine and lumbar spine (specifically extension), during squats. We talk about how to see it, how to release it, and how to fix it. Give it a listen!

In this episode, we discuss how to assess the hips & knees in the squat. What we're looking for, and where we're looking at. The hips & knees are an extremely tricky topic to navigate, I can only hope to cover everything that we could possibly see in the assessment, but in reality, there's much more to this story than this 30 minute podcast.
However, my goal is to give you some of the most common dysfunctions that I see daily as a coach with the hips & the knees in a way that even the average gym rat can comprehend.
Assess-Open-Activate-Integrate. These are the principles we operate off of, and Part 3a was all about the assessment. Next week in Part 3b, will be all about how to Open-Activate-Integrate these areas to not only create change, but to make it stick!

And it doesn't stop there either - we can learn so much about how we move & walk & even what injuries we have or have had, just by looking at the feet & ankles!
