Listen Later

If you think a past ankle sprain isn’t haunting your squat form, think again! In this episode, we sit down with Alyssa Borges, corrective exercise specialist, owner of Enchanted Wellness, and CVG Influencer, to uncover where your aches and pains are coming from. From glutes that ghost you postpartum to hip shifts caused by carrying kids, Alyssa breaks down how corrective exercise is the key to unlocking pain-free, powerful movement. Spoiler: it’s not just for injuries—it’s for anyone who wants to move, lift, and live better.

We’re talking practical tips and real solutions—including how to sneak balance training into your daily routine. Plus, find out why foam rolling until the cows come home isn’t the answer, how to spot muscle imbalances, and what Alyssa’s top must-do corrective exercises are. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just trying to keep up with life without nagging pain, this episode is packed with game-changing knowledge you don’t want to miss! And we apologize if it leaves you singing that Skeleton song.
