16 Nov Doing squats to tone and strengthen your gluteus muscles instead you’re experiencing hip and back pain 

Did you know improving your hip and ankle mobility to improve your squats

Squats are a fantastic exercise to strengthen your lower limbs and core. However if done with poor technique or if done with existing soft tissue injuries it can cause a muscle imbalance to occur and make you develop poor squatting patterns leading to increase risk  of injuries and may stop you from achieving your personal goals.

When it comes to squatting a common presentation we see is that people with poor squatting form tend to have poor hip and ankle mobility. This may be due to injuries in the past or due to general anatomy. If the hip and ankle mobility issue is not addressed, a bio mechanically good squat form cannot be achieved leading to muscle imbalance, injury and limitations in lifting capacity.
