When teaching movements, we have three options.  We can tell you things, show you things, and give you sensory cues to help you feel the right position.  These sensory cues are referred to as tactile cues and can range from setting up imaginary barriers to grabbing people and forcing them into better positions.  Squat therapy is a way of squatting using pressure from the wall in front of you and an object under your butt as tactile cues.  Trading the wall for a bar to hold your hands over and the addition of boxes to shove your knees out against was like squat therapy on steroids.  The crazy thing is that this little torture chamber made an air squat feel like a 200# back squat.  The great thing is that if you can learn to feel all that tension and be in the right position, all the sudden a 200# squat can feel like an air squat.  I am going to call it a success, as I think we saw some of the best looking squats ever from our squat challenged athletes.
