Discover how to effectively correct your squat by prioritizing technical issues and integrating a systemic approach.
In this episode, we discuss squat correction and the priorities to establish in order to achieve it. We will explore the various technical issues that are often encountered and how to prioritize them effectively.
When it comes to correcting the squat, it is essential to identify the specific problems that may be visible or underlying. For instance, one might observe poor posture, knees caving in, or a dissociation between the upper and lower body. The goal is to determine which issue should be prioritized.
We discuss the sagittal plane, which is often the first to be corrected. Indeed, certain issues, such as the "Good Morning," must be addressed before tackling left-right imbalances. This is explained by neurological development and the evolution of movements in children.
Each movement plane is linked to primitive reflexes. For example, the sagittal plane is associated with reflexes that regulate the tone of flexors and extensors. Understanding this relationship is crucial for effectively correcting the squat.
We advocate for a systemic approach that takes into account neurological development. This means working first on the reflexes related to the sagittal plane before focusing on frontal issues. This method allows for a more sustainable and effective correction.
Once the primitive reflexes and priority issues are identified, it is crucial to integrate corrective exercises into your routine. For example, pairing mechanical exercises with neurological stimulations can optimize the correction process.
Finally, the ultimate goal is to optimize performance. A well-executed squat reduces the risk of injury and improves maximum strength, both for athletes and the general public. By working on the foundations, you prepare the ground for significant progress.
In conclusion, it is essential to consider the order of priorities in squat correction. By adopting a systemic approach and integrating suitable corrective exercises, you will be able to improve your technique sustainably. Stay tuned for upcoming sessions, where we will further explore these concepts.
