Matt Hsu’s own battle with chronic pain from the age of 16 in his feet, knees, hips, back, shoulders, elbows, forearms, wrists, hands, and head gives him a uniquely thorough understanding of musculoskeletal pain, the ways in which it can undermine an entire life, and the mental and physical hurdles that keep people from getting out of it. When not filming videos, he’s working out in the living room, surfing, learning dance or gymnastics moves, or riding a bike with his son in tow. ENDING CREDITS MUSIC David Cutter Music - ABOUT THIS VIDEO If you can’t do the primal squat or Asian squat, it shows you have a lack of hip mobility and leg strength. Your quads, your hip flexors, your inner thighs, and your glutes need to get stronger and more flexible in different angles. Being able to Asian squat will help you maintain leg strength and hip mobility as you age. That strength and mobility will contribute to better athletic performance, less chronic pain, and will make you a fun adult to be around for kids! #AsianSquats #PrimalSquat #UprightHealth
