After a well-received discussion on shoulder mechanics, we’re shifting the focus to lower-body function. Jiunta dives deep into the art of assessments, movement dysfunction, and how to actually fix pain—without getting lost in internet noise. He breaks down common compensations, the real cause of pain, and why most people are chasing symptoms instead of solving the root issue. Tune in for practical takeaways, real-world case studies, and the principles that should guide your programming.
