Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Stick your butt out, keep your chest up and squat down. Once you reach your desired position, hold that for the prescribed amount of time. Push back up when done.
- FEEL: You should feel the muscles in your hips, glutes, hamstrings, and quads working.
- COMPENSATION: Don’t arch your back when squatting. Keep your weight centered.
