This unique course addresses movement from the medical side. The course is designed for physiotherapists and athletic trainers with a goal of approaching weightlifting in a unique, integrated lecture model. We will cover movement analysis and musculoskeletal management in the context of weightlifting and powerlifting. We will go into squat mechanics and variants, deadlift mechanics, anatomical variants and weightlifting variants, common injuries and rehabilitation for each lift. We will spend time breaking down each component of the snatch, clean and jerk as far as joint requirements and common challenges. You will be moving and evaluating your own movement in the context of both injury and performance.
