Squats are the king of exercises. Squats are one of the most functional and athletic movements we perform. Unfortunately, many people squat poorly and demonstrate a limited, asymmetrical, and uncontrolled squatting motion. There are a number of different areas in the body that can limit your ability to perform and efficient squat. These areas include:
- Shoulder tightness
- Thoracic spine stiffness
- Limited hip mobility
- Groin tightness
- Limited knee mobility
- Calf tightness
- Ankle motion limitations
- Foot mobility limitations
If you are having difficulty with your squats, use this mobility routine to address motion restrictions in these areas. Use the squat mobility routine as part of the warm-up for your squats and you should have a noticeable difference on your ability to perform a more efficient squat movement.
