This is an overview of the Corrective Exercises for the Deep Squat of the FMS, further descriptions attached. The exercises are not necessarily executed in this order and there may be additional exercises that we use with our customers and athletes.
The squat is a movement needed in most
athletic events. It is the ready position and is required for most power and lifting movements
involving the lower extremities. The deep squat
is a test that challenges total body mechanics
when performed properly. It is used to assess
bilateral, symmetrical and functional mobility
of the hips, knees and ankles. The dowel held
overhead assesses bilateral, symmetrical
mobility of the shoulders as well as the
thoracic spine. The ability to perform
the deep squat requires appropriate pelvic rhythm, closed-kinetic
chain dorsifl exion of the ankles,
flexion of the knees and hips
and extension of the thoracic
spine, as well as flexion and
abduction of the shoulders.
