Ankle Mobility Drills || NASM Overhead Squat Assessment || Personal Trainer Solutions

Have you ever seen a person lean forward excessively during a squat or raise their heels? What does it mean and how can you fix it to avoid pain and performance issues?
Excessive leaning forward is a common fault that trainers should be assessing when performing the NASM Overhead Squat assessment since it often indicates limited ankle mobility and/or tight calves. You need to understand why it happens, but also how to fix it.

I wouldn’t pull the toes up. That will use your overactive synergist EDH and EDL. The anterior tib won’t get activated. Instead curl the toes down while dorsiflexing. You’ll thank me later.
