Deep Squat Weight Shift
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: While in a deep squat position hold onto a stable surface. Slowly lean towards one side while driving your body and your knee forward. Repeat on the other side.
- FEEL: The more you drive your body forward the more you will bias a hip stretch. The further you bring your knees/shins forward, the more you will bias an ankle stretch.
-
COMPENSATION: Keep your heels on the ground as you shift your weight to each side.
