Heels Come Up in Your Squat? It’s Not Just Tight Ankles

Описание: “If your heels come up, your ankles are tight.”

That’s common advice.

But advice that applies to everybody all the time usually leaves something out.

In this video we break down:

• Why heels lifting doesn’t automatically mean ankle mobility is the problem
• How body proportions change squat mechanics
• Why structure matters more than trends
• When certain isometrics (like hip flexor work) might help
• Why “good advice” can still be incomplete
• The difference between range and control

Two people the same height can squat completely differently.

Femur length.
Tibia length.
Torso proportions.
Foot structure.
Injury history.
Neuromuscular control.

Mobility is one piece of the equation.
It’s not the entire equation.

The goal isn’t to reject exercises.

It’s to apply them in context.

If you want structured, context-first movement education and progressive isometric programs that help you understand your body instead of guessing at it:
