PNF Fit Tip #3

Many times we will see clients knees cave in when squatting. When we see this there are three things we look to change to stop the knee from caving.

1. Slightly turn the toes out. This allows you to squat between your feet using you hips without having to put all of the pressure into the knees.

2. Push the hips back first. This will bring the hips into the movement taking some of the weight off of the knees.

3. Add a mini band. By adding a light force pulling in on the knees this will cue your body to press out against the band, activating the glutes which will stabilize the knee.

If that all fails, it is a load issue and you need to move into an Assisted TRX Squat.

Always fix your movement before adding weight to keep your joints and body healthy and strong.
