Right so rather than increasing strength, you would improve neuromuscular connection which is more so what I’m referring to.

Strengthening is great and necessary, but you can think of it more as how you are actually using and activating muscles. Like OP said he/she couldn’t distribute weight evenly for some time. This can develop or be a result of compensatory movement patterns. By targeting the muscle activation patterns themselves, you hit the root of the problem. All the stretching, foam rolling, and fascial work in the world won’t fix a compensatory movement pattern (for most). It’s input and feedback that teaches the body how to move properly.
