Asymmetrical weight shift in the squat

I love the squat as an assessment tool. We use the squat everywhere, from the gym to the sitting on the toilet. If you find yourself shifting to one side at the bottom of the squat check for inhibition and soft tissue changes (trigger points) in the muscles of the hips. The hamstrings may also be involved so check range of motion in that group as well. Let me know what you find or if you have questions.
