Just by engaging in daily activity to improve range of motion might fix a poor squat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Watch video<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6S4r6FtyJAI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, swimmers tend to have tight calves and limited dorsiflexion from the ankle. Improving this will help distribute the weight more evenly on the feet at the end range of the squat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some quick ways of improving dorsiflexion are Ankle Rocks &#8211; and we can do these against a wall or with a band distraction to manipulate the ankle structure more, where the objective is to keep the heel on the ground and move the shin towards he toes by flexing the knee to rock the body forward. In this dynamic rocking position, I encourage a few maximal dorsiflexion repetitions for 2-3 seconds to get some activation from the anterior tibialis muscle. We are essentially pointing the toes upward towards us during the end range of the ankle stretch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, swimming is such a hip dominant sport that the hip flexors and quads get exceptionally tense. They might contribute to many swimmers feeling the movement being blocked at the end range. So, stretch the hip flexors and quads thoroughly, and don\u2019t settle there. Open up the hips and legs completely &#8211; think gymnast! Doing the pigeon and butterfly stretch to opening up the groin will additionally help the swimmers that keeps pointing the toes straight out to the side. If we spend a few minutes per area on a daily basis, we\u2019ll start seeing some noticeable change in the squatting techniques.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few tricks we can include to facilitate range of motion using bands, mobility balls and foam rolls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidently, restrictions start building up in very young swimmers &#8211; I\u2019m talking 10-12 year olds. Their limbs are growing so fast, and we\u2019re so worried about working these kids that we tend to overlook stretching them. Naturally over time, these restrictions accumulate and movements start looking worse and worse and will eventually lead to injury. As you can tell, there is so much to be said about a squat, so want I to finish by quickly scanning through the most common restrictions seen with our swimmers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, if the swimmer is experiencing pain when executing the squat that is beyond a soreness or a restricted feeling, such as a pinch in the hip or knee, or some sort of tingling &#8211; that is a sign to go see a qualified physical therapist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip of the week: fix your restrictions and do it on a daily basis, ideally before practice. Next week, we visit the 3 healthiest core exercises we can do.<\/p>\n<h2>See more videos from Swimmer Strength Coach Deniz Hekmati:<\/h2>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-abdominal-bracing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Abdominal Bracing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-strength-dryland-technique-matters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Strength and Dryland Technique Matters<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-age-to-start-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Age to Start Dryland Training or Strength Training<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-squat-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Squat Problems<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimmer-strength-tech-tip-performing-the-squat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Performing the Squat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information, subscribe to the Swimmer Strength newsletter found on our website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/swimmerstrength.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/swimmerstrength.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1565212973221000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHHpGZloxw1JrDAAQVO5K7NCa0ISg\">swimmerstrength.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Note: All swimming and dryland training and instruction should be performed under the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/coaches-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">supervision of a qualified coach or instructor<\/a>, and in circumstances that ensure the safety of participants.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contributed by Deniz Hekmati &#8211; Strength &amp; Conditioning Specialist, Sport Scientist\u00a0 In this last squat tip, we want to highlight that improving range of motion in the lower extremities is<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5440,"featured_media":393702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[18,69173,112297],"tags":[27333,42581,45256,42807,26509,107589,27337],"class_list":["post-393700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-coaches-education","category-dryland","category-swimmer-strength-tech-tip","tag-deniz-hekmati","tag-dryland","tag-dryland-exercises","tag-dryland-training","tag-strength-training","tag-swimmer-exercises","tag-swimmer-strength"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Swimmer Strength Tech Tip: Fixing the Squat by Improving Range of Motion - Swimming World<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Daily activities to improve range of motion can help fix bad form when doing squats.
