8m 5s
THE WHAT:
'Proofing' for the squat, affecting the toes, ankles, knees, hips, lumbar spine & posterior chain. Be sure to check out the 'Perspective of Proofing' resource for a foundational understanding of this concept to support ongoing practice: https://youtu.be/J5sM4EXL290
Rather than the repetitive execution of fixed routines for the purpose of mobilization, prehabilitation, or even mobility development (although they do have their place), 'proofing' is essentially a "checking" of the articulations to ask oneself the fundamental question: "how am I moving today"? In this process, physiological exploration goes hand-in-hand with self-awareness toward developing mindfulness of the body in movement. The series includes the following areas of application:

- Proofing of the shoulders, scapula & rotator cuffs
- Proofing of the ankles & knees
