Bridging the Clinic and the Weightroom to Take Your Olympic Lifting & Powerlifting to the Next Level

Too often a typical timeline of a lifter is to train until an injury pops up, take time off lifting and get treatment to help resolve the injury, then jump back into training at full speed.

This separation of the platform and treatment table is, in most cases, unnecessary. Managing injuries while adjusting training programs can help keep athletes training and seeing progress while also reducing the impact and even healing or preventing those injuries from becoming a limiting factor to training and performance.

This one-day workshop will go through the following concepts:

• Tendinopathies, an incredibly common issue, how to treat them effectively with the most updated scientific information available
• how to still train during these treatments versus having to take time off
• Self-assessments to use to determine if you need to adjust your own training, or the training of your athletes
• exercise adjustments to help continue to train hard and improve your ability to get under the bar more effectively without compensative issues.
• Programming considerations to get the most from your time on the platform and stay healthy for the long term.
