TEACHING HOW TO SQUAT WITH PERFECT FORM WITHOUT POSTURE... IMPOSSIBLE!

SQUATTING 
The ability to squat properly is always an interesting subject. Lately, i have doing a lot of clinical trials on getting the perfect squat. Aligning the hips is always my first priority. I believe that the deep front line in Thomas Myers Myofascial meridians is the key to this equation. The fact that the ribcage is directly influenced by the psoas major can also contribute to a good or bad form. Looking back at the first classes years ago, i was taught to stretch the hip flexor to inhibit the culprit. If that didn't work, proprioception like tapping on the muscle to create activation was the next step.
Even after all the Stretching & activation, sometimes a faulty pattern could make squatting impossible, forcing me to regress the exercise to reeducate the person involved. Today but adding Posturology to the mixture, squatting becomes easier and less time consuming on the persons hour. One must consider all sensory aspect to get optimal results in the gym. One thing that did surprise me is New Age Performance Mouthware. Aligning your jaw properly makes a world of difference on my clients squatting ability but its important to mention that my best results were with the diaphragm inline and the proper convergence exercises for the visual aspect. This is just the beginning on how to get the best squat... stay tuned
