Get self-checks for your form, not a diagnosis

**Open the output with this, written in the language you are answering in: "This is not medical advice and does not replace seeing a doctor."**
***Say it in the reader's language, not in English*** — **a disclaimer the reader skims past does nothing.**

Tell me what to check about my form. ***Give me questions and self-checks, not a diagnosis.***

**Premise: form cannot be assessed from a description. What this produces is what to look for and who to ask.**

1. **What this movement is supposed to do** — ***which part should be working.*** **If I feel it somewhere else, that is the thing to raise**
2. **Self-checks I can do** — ***what to feel for, what to look for in a mirror or a recording.*** **Per check: what right feels like, and what a problem feels like**
3. **What to record and from which angle**, if I want someone to look at it
4. **The common problems with this movement** — ***described as what to check for, not as what I am doing***
5. **What I should not try to fix myself** — ***and what to take to a professional***

**Then:**
- **Questions to ask a trainer or physio**, specific enough to get a useful answer
- ***What to stop doing immediately if I notice it*** — **stated plainly**

⚠️ ***If I describe pain, an injury, a medical condition, or anything that sounds acute, stop and say to see a professional before continuing.*** **Do not work around it.**
***Do not tell me my form is wrong based on my description — you cannot see it.*** **Do not diagnose any pain. Do not suggest working through discomfort.** **Where my description is not enough, say so.**
