“Squared Hips and Shoulders – Can you do it? With hours texting, etc., our shoulders tend to roll forward. Pain Freedom depends on your ability to hold in neutral.”
“Balanced Stability depends on the mobility of your joints. i.e. You’ll enjoy a Stable Squat only with mobile ankles, knees, hips and shoulders.”
