Great article Charlie.
You mentioned hallowing of the lateral glutes is a sign of deep stabilizers of the hips are not functioning correctly. Do you have any suggestions what would be the best way to rectify this common problem.

ben – Yes, I have had clients use Barefoot Science. I have 2 folks using it right now, so I suspect he bought he not too long ago.

Kevin – During normal loading, particularly dynamic patterns, the short foot should happen naturally. You can try to learn it and feel with the braced pattern, and if you’re not moving like in a squat, you can use it to beat the lift. But I do not think that is the best way to translate to athletic movement like jumping.
Try bracing your mid-feet and jumping; we want it there to funnel that neural flow elsewhere.

Great article Charlie. You mentioned Barefoot Science. Do you have clients who use this? I read their pdf file, pretty impressive with academic references but is the company still in operation? Also, I can’t seem to locate any mention of research conducted in a UK university although it was claimed in the pdf file that research was conducted in the 1990s…

Bar with me, but I don’t understand the flat foot section. The short foot posture can be consciously used during squats, much like ab bracing. But you said it should be gained naturally? What do you mean by this?

Charlie,

I noticed you are ART certified in Upper & Lower. What are your thoughts on ART being the ‘gold standard’? Is it worth the money they charge for the courses? Reason I ask is that Im essentially trying to position myself and put out the best product possible. I am older(30) and do not think PT school would be the best option financially and the only way to be able to “touch” is to get my LMT and then get soft tissue certified through ART. Wanted to get your thoughts on this route or if there are better routes, at my age, that you might suggest? Thanks Charlie.

Charlie – thanks for the response, it was about what I thought. Unfortunately my CAM dx coincides w/ anterior hip pain, not just a asymptomatic dx.

On another note, I’ve never heard the term “hallowing of the glutes.” Can you explain what that means?

I’m taking the SFMA class in Chicago in 2 weeks and I am really looking forward to it, seems like you find it to be really helpful in your work, I hope I can integrate as much as you do. You definitely influenced my decision to go to the course.

Thanks, Jason

Mitch – These young ladies have a whole host of fundamental movement physical limitations that can be screened or tested out for,
The squat is just 1 piece of a full evaluation, so I would not lean too much on it.
When it is time to address that pattern, these young ladies may have a laundry list of struggles that lead to the presentation you see.
