Better SQUATS breakthrough! How we helped Amilkhar

Squatting Success Story: Amel Car's Journey

Assessment and Initial Findings

  • The video introduces Amel Car, who experiences SI joint pain and general stiffness during squats.
  • An assessment reveals a significant anterior pelvic tilt, which may be contributing to his discomfort.
  • Amel also fails a quad flexibility test, indicating potential issues with hip mobility.

Treatment Approach

  • The treatment begins with a lat stretch, aimed at addressing the pelvic alignment.
  • Additional stretches include the Spider-Man stretch, goalie groin stretch, and bowing to Buddha to help realign the pelvis.
  • The session concludes with leg lowering exercises to further assess improvements in mobility.

Results of the Intervention

  • A retest shows significant improvement in Amel's pelvic tilt, now appearing normal.
  • Despite not specifically targeting quad stretches, Amel's quads exhibit increased flexibility ("like butter").
  • Most importantly, he reports feeling better overall with enhanced mobility and improved squat form.
