@painacademy: If your back hurts when you squat, check your ankles and hips first. When your ankles cannot bend forward, your knees stop moving, your hips cannot drop, and your lower back picks up the slack. That is what causes that pinching or strain during squats. If your ankles are tight, put your foot up on a wall and rock gently for one minute each side. If they are weak, do front foot raises with a book under your toes. Tight or weak, do both. This is where better movement starts. Try The Movement Program free for seven days. Link in bio. #painacademy #mobilitytraining #squattips #anklepain #backpainrelief
