  • 12 weeks post spine surgery and Nico is back to deadlifting. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ This is so inspiring. Deadlifting is something Nico thought that he’d never be able to get back under the guidance of his previous physical therapy team. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Since starting with us at Sports Performance, we’ve been able to manage his pain, get him back to where he was before the surgery and progress him to lifts unimaginable at 12 weeks post op in a safe and controlled manner. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #BackSurgery #SpineSurgery #Deadlift ⠀ _________________________________________________⠀⠀ Sports Performance PT | San Diego, CA⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ We specialize in keeping people healthy and active. ⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ Instagram: @SportsPerformancePT (bit.ly/2V1eunu) ⠀⠀ Facebook: @SportsPerformancePT (bit.ly/37HEGGi)⠀⠀ YouTube: @SportsPerformancePT (bit.ly/2P8M3jQ)⠀⠀ Podcast: @SportsPerformancePT (bit.ly/2P4my36)⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ 🌐 Website: bit.ly/2V5kQ5c⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ ☎️ Phone: (619) 397-1391⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #SportsPerformancePT ⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀ ⠀ .⠀ #SanDiego #ChulaVista #Eastlake #SoCal #SouthBay #PhysicalTherapy #SportsPerformance #PersonalTraining #InjuryPrevention #Rehab #StrengthTraining #Weightlifting #WeightTraining #CuppingTherapy #GymLife #SanDiegoFitness #SanDiegoFit #MyofascialDecompression #SDfit #SanDiegoLiving #Explore #SDLiving #ExplorePage
