Why Squats are So Important

Squats are often called the “king” of exercises — and for good reason. They engage the entire lower body and core, helping to:

  • Build leg strength (quads, hamstrings, glutes)

  • Improve balance and stability

  • Support mobility and joint function

  • Enhance circulation and cardiovascular health

  • Protect against falls and injuries

  • Make daily activities easier (like standing from a chair or using the toilet)

For patients recovering from surgery, illness, or deconditioning, squats are often the gateway to walking again — and MOVAO is here to help make that transition smoother.
