Deadlift Assessment
Overview
Deadlift performance depends on a clean hip hinge, strong posterior chain and consistent core bracing—errors risk back and hamstring injury.
Common Injuries or Challenges
Low-back pain, hamstring strains, poor hip-hinge mechanics
Assessment Approach
Technique breakdown, hip and thoracic mobility checks, posterior chain strength testing and assessment of bracing strategies.
Rehab & Return to Sport Plan
Re-teach the hip hinge, strengthen glutes/hamstrings and core, apply progressive loading and refine technique for safe, powerful deadlifting.
