PRE-/REHAB: Feet, ankles, knees & hips

1m 9s
THE WHAT:
The fundamental 'Sissy squat' is essentially a top-down, reverse-loaded hinge made at the knees to the deepest range, and back again.

THE WHAT:
At the lowest-of-the-'low-gait' contexts sits the maximally-compressed squat form, from which any lower in space must be a transition into the floor. 'Low-gait balance contexts' (namely unilateral), then, carry both the valuable experience of unilateral lower-body practice context as we...
