- load-bearing habits to the side
- Correct Answer - adductor complex
- / 4
How many postural distortion patterns were identified by Janda? - Correct Answer - 3 If a client sits all day this in turn can lead to tight______ that can cause postural imbalances? - Correct Answer - hip flexors If the client has a hip hike during the single leg squat which muscle is underactive?
