Can't do a squat
That's right. The universal mechanic used for sitting. It's something I could never do. When I sit, I kinda just bend my knees a little and then I'll fall back.
So imagine, as I try to do a squat, I can only barely bend my knees, and if I try to go back, I will literally fall over like a tree getting chopped down.
I used to try to get answers years ago, but never worked at the issue. (I'm 27 atm). All I remember finding is that it could be a mix of things: from weak ankles, to weak core strength, to lack of hip mobility and flexibility, and weak glutes.
If anybody has advice, I'd love to learn and try again and see if I can ever perform a proper squat.
And if anyone can relate or have overcome this exact situation, I would love to hear it to know I'm not alone.
But every physical or massage therapist, or Chiro I've been to, treats it as not a serious thing.
