Today’s post is a clip from Episode 3 of our monthly series PT to the Gym with Suarez Sports and Orthopedic Physical Therapy . In it CDSF coach Mike Sirani and Pat discuss how to perform the single-leg deadlift and why it’s a smart option for rerouting your lower body training when experiencing hip or low back pain when squatting or doing other bilateral exercises.
To Perform:
Set-up with a soft-knee bend and imagine you’re a seesaw. As your butt pushes back and your heel moves back, your hand lowers toward the floor. While doing so, make sure to keep your top hip square to the floor and feel your glutes and hamstrings working!
