Have a squatting issue? Tight hips and ankles? Or maybe you work with people who do? This video class is for you.
A note from Ryan
Hey, I'm Ryan, founder of Movement Fix.
Knowing how to stretch is the easy part. Knowing where and what you should be stretching is the hard part. Or maybe you need to be strengthening instead. Or maybe the issue is really your hip anatomy.
There is nothing more frustrating than doing the same stretches day in and day out, or the same foam roller drills, and getting no results. The key is knowing where your problem actually is.
Is it your ankles? Your knees? Your hip structure? Your adductors?
Hips
Adductors
Knees
Ankles
This class is designed to help you find out which one it is, and then shows you what to do about it. There is no one best way to squat: hips are built differently, and different body types need to squat differently. You can't tell just by looking at someone. You have to see them move.
More than 1,000 people have taken this class live with me. Now you can watch it as video, whenever you like.

Who it's for
Who this class is for
Two kinds of people take this class: people who squat, and people who work with people who squat.
You squat
You lift weights and your squat is held back by tight hips, ankles or something you can't put a name to yet.
You work with people who squat
You coach, train or treat people who squat and want a way to find what is limiting each one.
