Hello everyone! Thanks for the continued support! 💪 For those who are watching this video as part of their studying for NASM, you probably don’t have to know anything beyond the overactive and under active muscle portion of the video. I still think you should watch the whole thing because it will help your understanding of the condition, but that’s up to you!

[@jontoostrong]

I just got my first client and they booked 10 sessions. I also have a few consultations later this week. I couldn't have done it without guys! Thank you!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I love hearing that! Thanks! Congrats on your success as well! Keep it up!

[@zoewight9722]

Wow! So happy to have found this video. It a whole took 3 months of my schooling to learn everything that he just outlined in 10 minutes

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

That’s a great compliment! Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@jonjay9991]

I am not a PT, and the ones I have gone to for this problem fail to acknowledge it. I basically self diagnosed myself with pronation distortion syndrome, and this video has really helped to reinforce the stretches and exercises I need to be doing. This along with some articles on the NASM website have greatly improved my lower joint issues, thank you!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I admire your interest in the subject! Thanks for the kind words and I hope you’re able to improve your squat!

[@chariots8x230]

This video is great, but can you please also do a video where you go over all of the different postural distortions, and how to fix them? What types of exercise movements are best for each postural distortion (e.g., pushing, pulling, etc.)? How would you correct lower crossed syndrome, and upper crossed syndrome? How about fixing compensations when doing the overhead squat assessment, such as feet turn out, knees cave in, excessive forward trunk lean, low back arches, arms fall forward, scapular elevation, and head juts forward?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks! I go over those distortion patterns in the study guide videos (NASM and ACE) and I also go over them in other programming videos too. I talk about some of that stuff here in this video on knee pain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGiZeneMpdWrZtk There are other videos where I touch on some of that stuff too. I plan on doing more content specifically on the overhead squat this year though.

[@chariots8x230]

@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Thank you for the video suggestion. I’m listening to it and it’s useful :) When it comes to the postural distortions and compensations, I’ve memorized the overactive and underactive muscles, but I feel that I don’t have concrete knowledge on how to correct them. I might do the recommended stretches to target the overactive muscles, but I’m not sure what else to do.

[@jmuhammad007]

Bro!! You're videos are awesome!!!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@katiechien9448]

Thank you . This was helpful

[@jarvanhardcore3059]

I love your content, it really helps me to understand much better the Nasm content

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks! That’s great to hear!

[@Zzyball]

This is a fantastic video. Thank you!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

You’re welcome!

[@pchiethegreat1]

Quality stuff as always. 👍👍👍 Such a common issue. I do SMR and abduction work already. Will be adding more calf stuff and stretching as well. Thanks Jeff!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank you! I appreciate that! I’ve had good luck with the calf work with a good number of clients

[@devbratgoswami4159]

Best content. Thank you sir. Love from India.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@audgepodge381]

This is so great! Thank you for showing us variations for the warm ups. I'm having a final project/evaluation in August. Fingers crossed!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank you! Good luck with your evaluation! I’m sure you’ll do great!

[@trushartsutar3831]

Extremely helpful mate! Do you by any chance have a video on clients with diabetes and blood pressure?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank you! I’ll cover diabetes at some point soon but I have already covered high blood pressure right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4fRk5KNjaybq8U

[@JD-hu3dg]

More great work guys!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks JD! Much appreciated!

[@tresadowney5185]

Thank you for the great video. I'm unable to get the free download without giving my credit card info. Help! Thank you.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Glad you enjoyed it! We don’t ask for credit card info for any of our downloads-they’re all completely free.

[@marcelocaballero8128]

I've just close with a female client with this issue and this will help me a lot when I'm designing her plan for weight-loss next week thank you! Any tips on cues or guidelines for me to tell the client?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Make sure you give extra cueing on pushing her knees outwards over her toes as she squats down. There’s more of course, but the rest is in the video.

[@reggiesampsonsax]

Great video

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@andrew_qgi]

Informative

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@leilahardy6123]

So if you notice that trey have knee valgus but you don’t want to mention as to not diagnose them in any way what should you say instead before correcting them? Thank you

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Just work on strengthening the muscles responsible for causing the issue. Say you’re having them do extra glute medius work to keep their knees aligned over their toes as they squat.

[@RBimas37]

Please tell me is there anything I can do? My left shoulder got banged up in a car accident 7 years ago. It healed up slightly dislocated. I noticed it first doing OHP lifts and it just hurts so much if I push the weight. I've tried massages, but they just aggravate it further (my head hurts a lot afterwards and it feels like my left eye is ready to explode inside my skull). Very minor scoliosis leaning to the right on my upper back. I heard this is common in fighting sports, but they get "fixed up" on the spot the same day. I fear it might be too late. Should I see a chiro, physio?

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

You probably should see a physio. I would also recommend focusing on your posture aka. not slouching any more than you have to because that will make everything you’re describing worse. I would also recommend extra strengthening to your back muscles. Strengthening back there by doing things like: rows, pulldowns, reverse flyes, face pulls, etc will also help with what you have going on.

[@michaelclark6154]

I have been struggling to find answers to what has been going on with my gait and feet. I have seen soo many people trying to find out what is going on and I even ended up having surgery on my right foot(tarsal coalition), and I am still having issues and have no answers. I am pretty sure now that I am overpronating causing flat feet. Not sure but thinking it could be related to something in my hips maybe(hip flexors, TFL, glutes, etc) I am in desperate need of help and some answers. Do you have any ideas of what I could do to figure this out.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Honestly, without seeing you in-person I wouldn’t necessarily know. A foot problem can certainly lead to hip, knee, ankle and gait problems though. Have you reached out to some local physical therapists?

[@evanscott9473]

Ah yes, I have flat feet and overpronate.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

It’s very common! It’s something that can be worked on too though

[@alysehiltbrunner7184]

What about clients who can’t get on the floor. Older clients

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I would say utilize exercises off of the bench more in that case. Squats down to the bench, leg extensions from the bench. Glute kickbacks, and other lower body moves from the bench. Also, assisted movements where your client is holding onto something like a squat rack could be useful.

[@brandonpitt4098]

[@abigail_hill_health_coach]

I’m training for my PT cert and I have this problem myself! Super helpful! I see it in my little sister as well. She gets so upset that she can’t do a squat. I’m excited to show her.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks for the support! It’s a very common issue! Good luck training for your cert!
