I used a modified version of the overhead squat and goniometry to identify that a movement impairment stemming from the ankle was driving this compensation. She had 5 degrees of dorsiflexion in her right ankle and 10 degrees of dorsiflexion in her left ankle. We need 12 degrees of dorsiflexion to stand with the lumbo-pelvic hip complex aligned in neutral and 15 degrees to walk with proper alignment of the proximal kinetic chain. Athletes, especially those like tennis players, soccer players and basketball players who require multi-directional movements will ideally have up to 20 degrees.

If this compensation continues unchecked it can lead to low back pain, headaches, patella femoral pain and other dysfunction in the kinetic chain.

NASM has the best Corrective Exercise credential in the business and an excellent 2 day workshop. Visit http://nasm.org for more details.

Hope you find the video helpful!

I have been waiting for the technology in HFPN to catch up to it’s
original plan.

I have waited all I can wait and I can wait no more!!!

I have am putting some stuff together and know you will love it. You
will have the nitty gritty details in the next couple of weeks. For
now here is the big picture.

I am running a workshop on February 20th here in Natick, MA with a
colleague of mine who is an amazing physical therapist, Todd Forman.
We will be bridging the gaps between a squat assessment, multiplanar
transitional assessments and goniometry. YES!

We will be covering all of this, with goniometry in a 1 day workshop.

It will be game changing and the A-Team will have first crack at it.

I have also worked out a deal with Todd to get my A-Teamers that are
in my HFPN group a copy of the DVD “Goniometry for Personal Trainers”
that we shot last month DIRT CHEAP.

So Happy New Year and keep an eye out for the links to the
Goniometry/Range of Motion DVD and the Range of Motion Workshop on
2/20.
