Hip Mobility Drill for Deadlifts and Olympic Weightlifting

March 29, 2016 Posted by Dr. Christopher Garcia, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS, USAW Hip, Back & Core, Injury Prevention, Recovery Techniques, Warm Up & Mobility

Improve your deadlift and all movements pulling from the ground with this easy drill. Improper hinging due to hamstring and hip mobility deficits can increase low back stress and cause pain. Maintain your back in an upright position and point your toes toward your face to maximize the technique. As you improve, keep your low back, shoulders and hips close to the wall to progress the exercise. Sustain the position for up to 1 minute and enjoy the results. #SportsPerformancePT
