Answer 1

Ryan is performing static stretching on the clients calves because the client’s feet had turned out.

Step-by-step explanation:

• To avoid any kind of muscle injury, Ryan preferred to perform static stretching on the clients calves because he found out during an overhead squat assessment that the clients feet had turned out excessively.
• He devised intelligently that the client needs to be prescribed static stretching so that any future occurrence of the clients feet turning out while performing overhead squats does not hurt or injure the clients muscles or ligaments.
