Knees caving in while walking, or doing squats? Vancouver’s downtown personal fitness trainer says there are solutions. It’s not acceptable to see knees caving in when someone grab a weight and starts doing squats, deadlifts or even farmer’s walk! It’s painful to see…and it’s likely that you are seeing it more and more. There are many reasons why that might happen including older injuries, bone structure, flat feet or just weak glutes. Read on and check out the Insta demo for the fix we have for you on knees caving in.
You’ll see the video goes right to the problem – weak glutes and tight adductors and tips from a personal trainer.
But first! If you feel any pain doing any of these exercises or if you have any serious injuries, consult your physician. Otherwise, read on!
We’ll be breaking the sequence into 2 categories:
1. Foam Rolling/Self Myofascial Release Techniques
2. Muscle Activation and strengthening weak links
Be sure to maintain a good postural alignment while doing the exercise.
Here we go!
