Tactile Cueing for Muscle Activation
Use touch-based prompts to help a person find and recruit a target muscle during movement. Common protocols include pressing on the muscle, placing a finger on the area, or giving a simple cue like “squeeze my finger” while they perform the exercise. The tactile feedback improves body awareness and can make the intended muscle easier to activate.

“Maybe you give them a tactical prompt, so you touch it and you just tell them things like, hey, squeeze my finger, squeeze my finger... All this stuff can help get people to activate.”
