You're tired (or terrified) of getting hurt, so you do nothing....and you still hurt. There's a better solution to that inactivity, get down into your squat.

Not every sport or life activity requires a full A to G squat, but understanding where your body is bound up and where it can move freely will help you better prepare for your adventures. And btw, the more acquainted you become with this process the more likely you're going to be able to move pain free.

Not every squat looks the same, but here are a few principles that ring true no matter who you are:
1. Feet stay flat on the ground (the entire squat)
2. Ankles are mobile, but stable
3. Knees point the same direction as your toes
4. Hip crease is at or below the level of your knees
5. Straight spine (all the time)

Hop down into your squat sit and assess yourself!
