I wouldn’t have believed this study either years ago. The amount of work it took me to get into a squat position was so great I believed the trainers and PTs that said I didn’t have the anatomy to squat. Not only did it feel like an incredible amount of work to squat, there was no room for me to move lower than about halfway - it was like I hit an anatomical wall. I know many of you out there who just heard me say a squat is actually a “position of rest” and rolled your eyes or scoffed. As much as I love a good scoff and eye roll, the truth is your soft tissue is giving you a completely different experience with a squat than what the body is capable of. The level of muscular work and restriction you feel in a squat is equal to the level of dysfunction existing within your soft tissue. Not all movement problems equal chronic pain. Movement problems begin to show up as basic positions that were once available to us are no longer accessible. As we age, we lose 1% of strength and range of motion per year. These restrictions and limitations you feel don’t just spontaneously get better, nor do they stay the same. If there isn’t active work, our movement quickly erodes and our ability to move is less and less. Try to add this simple sitting variation to maintain or improve your ability to squat. Take your time. Spent 1-5 min a day here. Integrate a squat sit into your tv or work time. It will begin to pay off after a month of consistency. If your feet get a little tingly or numb, ease your way out of this position; that’s a non-pain signal that it’s time to move. If you are looking for more exercises or want a game plan to follow every day to restore your movement patterns, check out the link in my bio and get started with The Pain Assessment Toolkit. I want to show you some really simple movement assessments to help you establish a baseline of what your movement is like today, then after you join my program, re-take your photos in 30, 60, and 90+ days to observe how much better and more balanced your movement is becoming by following The Movement Program.
