Can we talk about active programming?

Why are 90% of patients inherit doing the lowest level exercise, almost never incorporating the most functional and necessary movement of a squat for a lower extremity/lower back case. I feel like an outcast when I’m prescribing squats, unilateral training, or deadlifts in a world of SAQ and glute sets and adductor squeezes. Someone explain where the rationale for keeping patients so regressed?
