I see a lot of students that are older and have limited range of motion. I’m a TPI Certified Coach. Put them through a TPI screening that consists of 16 tests and a couple of extras if they cannot perform the full test. For example, if the student can’t do the deep squat test properly, we test for dorsi flexion in ankles/feet. The tests we run are not just for flexibility. They are also for balance and strength.
The most common issues are weak glutes and abs, super tight hamstrings and I.T. bands, hip flexors, neck, and shoulders. Also lack of disassociation of lower and upper body is also common and something I test for.
