I've recently become certified as a Corrective Exercise Specialist.
This specialized certification is about correcting imbalances in the body.
First I assess the imbalances, i.e., muscles/tissue that are tight and muscles that need to be strengthened (weak). The picture demonstrates a frontal squat assessment.
From there, a program is developed to inhibit and lengthen the tight areas and strengthen the weak areas through isolated strengthening.
Once these areas are addressed, you're ready to integrate that into combined, more powerful moves.
How do you know if you need this?
Do you have low back pain?
Do your toes turn out when you're standing, walking or running?
Do you knees turn in when you squat?
Do you have plantar fascitis or 'flat' feet?
Do you have knee pain?
Do you have hip pain?
Do you have shoulder pain?
Do you have neck pain?
There are many other indications but these are the most common.
Any of these issues can be an sign of imbalances (overactive and underactive muscles) in your body. Only a proper assessment can determine this. Many people just assume that the above is part of aging, or their bodies are 'just like that', or 'have always been that way'. If the cause is imbalance, which it often is, it can absolutely be corrected.

If you are outside Colorado, I would need a video of you performing the moves (instructions included).
