The “Hip Hinge” Technique

Do you lift like a power lifter, or is your squat setting you up for back pain? Do you “Hip Hinge”, or does you lumbar spine do all of the work?

In today’s video, Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist David Coulson looks at some of the finer points of technique around the basic squat. Whether you are lifting in the gym, in the garage or in the garden, these tips can help you to prevent back pain and perform at your best.

David, along with the rest of the First Choice Health team are available for consultation, or to check your “Hip Hinge”, at our newly refurbished Vermont South physiotherapy rooms.
