Top Cues for Your Back Pain and Deadlifting
Back pain is one of the most common injuries in the US, affecting 80% of people in their lifetime and 26% of people in the US at any given time.
As performance physical therapists, we treat an awful lot of back pain at our clinic.
As a result, we prescribe and dose out deadlifts frequently. Deadlifts are and will forever be one of my favorite movements for not only back pain but the self advocacy and empowerment that comes with it.
From Years of Back Pain to Supple Tactician
One of my favorite people that I have had the pleasure to meet this year is Josh. He’s retired military, now working as a corporate strategist who enjoys hiking, traveling, and time on the gun range. From years of abuse training in the military to gradual deconditioning, Josh subsequently developed a herniated disc and chronic back pain, amongst shoulder, knee, pain and stiffness alike.
