Rehab for Weightlifting

 

Physical therapy can help weightlifters of all levels improve their performance. From beginners to Olympic hopefuls, physical therapists can provide the tools and resources needed to reach your goals. We work directly with you and your coach to provide a holistic plan of care, whether you’re looking to improve your total or rehabbing an injury. What makes us different from other PT clinics is our experience working with weightlifters. We are proud to say that we work with athletes and clubs from all of over the world. In addition, majority of our physical therapists are competitive weightlifters.

Here are some of the ways that physical therapy can enhance weightlifting performance:

  • Improve mobility and range of motion: Physical therapists can help you identify and address any mobility restrictions that may be limiting your performance. For example, tight ankles can make it difficult to squat properly. A physical therapist can use manual therapy and stretching techniques to improve your ankle mobility and help you squat deeper and achieve points of performance.

  • Strengthen key muscle groups: Good Reps can help you develop a personalized warmup and accessories program that targets the key muscle groups used in weightlifting. This will help you build strength and power, which will lead to improved performance in the snatch, clean and jerk, and other lifts.

  • Reduce pain and injury risk: Weightlifting can be a demanding sport, we can help you identify programming and lifestyle elements that may be putting you at risk of injury.
