Balance and squat movement are fundamental to how we move through daily life. From sitting and standing to lifting, walking, and returning to exercise, the squat pattern reflects how the body coordinates strength, balance, and control under load.

Real-time observation of balance and squat movement during a controlled functional task.

Understanding how the body manages load, coordination, and movement quality.


In this video, we observe real-time balance and squat movement during a controlled functional task. The focus is not on how much weight is lifted, but on how the movement is organised. This includes weight distribution through the feet, control of the hips and trunk, and coordination during both the lowering and standing phases.


Small changes in balance, timing, or control can alter how movement feels. When coordination is reduced, the body may rely on compensatory strategies that increase effort or discomfort over time. Observing movement in real time helps highlight how the body currently manages physical demand, rather than assuming the issue lies in a single muscle or joint.

At Heal Young Massage on the Gold Coast, remedial massage is delivered with a strong emphasis on movement quality and functional support. Hands-on treatment is guided by how clients move, how load is managed, and how the body responds during common daily patterns such as squatting, walking, and transitioning between positions.


This movement-informed approach is commonly used to support:


  • Active adults and athletes

  • Clients with ongoing stiffness or movement discomfort

  • Individuals wanting greater confidence with daily movement

  • Those seeking care that looks beyond isolated areas



The aim is to support more efficient, comfortable movement within each person’s current capacity. Over time, improved movement control and balance often translate into greater ease with daily activities and physical training.


If you’re looking for remedial massage that focuses on movement, balance, and functional performance, this approach connects hands-on care with how your body actually moves in real life.
