Turning your toes out doesn’t “cheat” squat depth — it respects hip anatomy.

Externally rotating the femur allows the hip to move into flexion with abduction and external rotation, which increases joint clearance between the femoral neck and the acetabulum.
This delays early femoroacetabular impingement and allows greater squat depth without forcing pelvic or lumbar compensation.

Now let’s address the squat police 🚨
The idea that the torso must stay upright is a misunderstanding of squat mechanics.

In a loaded squat, the barbell must remain aligned over the mid-foot to maintain balance and minimise unnecessary joint stress. As the hips travel posteriorly and inferiorly, the torso must incline forward to keep the centre of mass stacked over the base of support.
This forward torso angle is an expected and necessary adaptation, influenced by femur length, hip structure, and bar position — not poor technique.

Forcing an artificially upright torso often results in:
• loss of depth
• increased knee dominance
• lumbar flexion (“butt wink”)
• compensatory movement patterns

A good squat is defined by:
✔ neutral spinal alignment
✔ bar path over mid-foot
✔ joint motion that matches individual anatomy

Not by how upright it looks. 🏋️‍♀️

📏Skinfold Assessments

A skinfold assessment is a safe, non-invasive method used to estimate body fat percentage by measuring the thickness of skinfolds at specific anatomical sites using specialised callipers.

In biokinetics, we don’t rely on the scale alone. Two people can weigh the same but have very different body compositions. Skinfold assessments allow us to understand how much of your body is made up of fat versus lean muscle, which is far more meaningful for health, rehabilitation, and performance.

Why biokineticists use skinfold assessments:
✔️ To establish an accurate baseline before starting a programme
✔️ To monitor changes in body composition over time
✔️ To personalise rehabilitation and exercise prescription
✔️ To assess health-related risk factors linked to excess body fat
✔️ To track progress in a realistic and sustainable way

Skinfold assessments are quick, reliable when performed by a trained professional, and best used alongside strength, mobility, and cardiovascular assessments to give a complete picture of your health.

🧠 World Stroke Day

Today, on World Stroke Day, the message hits close to home for me. My father suffered a hemorrhagic stroke - a type of stroke that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing bleeding within or around the brain tissue.
It’s different from the more common ischemic stroke, which happens when a clot blocks blood flow to the brain.

While both types cause brain cells to die due to lack of oxygen, the mechanisms, and the recovery journeys, differ greatly.
Haemorrhagic strokes often come with sudden, severe symptoms: intense headache, vomiting, weakness, or loss of consciousness. They require immediate medical attention and careful management to control bleeding and prevent complications.

As a biokineticist, I’ve seen firsthand how critical rehabilitation and movement are after such an event.
Exercise isn’t just about strength, it’s about retraining the brain, improving coordination, and restoring confidence in movement. Every small milestone in recovery represents the brain’s incredible ability to adapt and heal.

World Stroke Day serves as a reminder that:
✅Stroke can happen to anyone, at any age.
✅Early recognition and rapid action save lives.
✅Consistent, guided rehabilitation can transform recovery outcomes.

So today, I honour my father, and every family walking this road, with hope, awareness, and a reminder of the power of movement in healing. 💙

Grateful for growth, movement and the magic of good energy ✨
