Should your knees go over your toes?

If you are a human-being with expectations of doing anything even remotely athletic, then they absolutely should!

My client shown here is a high level skier. It is essential to regain strength and confidence in a positive shin angle (knee over toe) in order to return to the slopes at full participation.

I’m not sure where the fear-mongering for this movement pattern started, but like most demonized movement patterns, it’s just difficult and maybe even painful if you haven’t prepared your body to perform it.

There’s no inherently bad exercises or movements, just ones you’re not prepared for.
