Answer
D
Painful tingling suggests possible nerve involvement and is not a movement compensation. The trainer should stop the screen and refer for clinical evaluation before any corrective loading.
A
Switching to a box squat still loads the pattern that provoked the symptom before it has been evaluated.
B
Changing the arm position does not address a possible nerve symptom; repeating the squat may provoke it again.
C
Massage presumes tissue tightness; painful tingling calls for clinical evaluation, not soft-tissue work.
D
Painful tingling suggests possible nerve involvement and is not a movement compensation. The trainer should stop the screen and refer for clinical evaluation before any corrective loading.
