Deadlifts after sciatica can be a bit chaotic & messy...
Do you avoid them altogether?
Go light and hope for the best?
Or wait until your patient is completely pain-free?
In today’s episode, I walk through a question from one of our LBP Intensive clinicians, Amin, who asked how I program deadlifts in patients recovering from flexion sensitive LBP with or without neurodynamic sensitivity.
I get into:
When hinging is actually contraindicated vs. when it’s safe to begin
A deadlift regression most PTs forget about.
Why your patient’s nervous system response matters more than their posterior chain mobility in the early stages.
How to use the “traffic light system” to reduce flare-up anxiety when strength training
This episode is loaded with real-world clinical gems you can use immediately, especially if you’re trying to build a bridge from rehab to lifting again.
