Squat correction used to address immature or multi-fault squats.

• A. Squat therapy
• B. Mobility drill
• C. Strength program
• D. Cardio work

Answer: (A)

When a squat is immature or has multiple faults, the goal is to re-educate the movement pattern rather than just add mobility, strength, or conditioning. Squat therapy focuses on movement quality through targeted coaching cues, controlled progressions, and deliberate practice of the pattern. It breaks the pattern into teachable components—stable torso, proper knee tracking, hip hinge, ankle mobility as needed, and an appropriate bar path—and reassembles them with gradual loading and tempo. This approach directly addresses how the body moves through the squat, making it effective for correcting several faults at once. Mobility drills can help with restrictions, but they don’t universally fix faulty movement patterns when multiple faults are present. A general strength program builds capacity without guaranteeing correct form, which can leave faults in place or be reinforced. Cardio work doesn’t target squat mechanics at all. By focusing on technique through therapy, you establish the correct motor pattern and set the foundation for safe loading and continued progress.
