Barbell Rehab Method

What is Barbell Rehab Method?

Our clinicians are trained in a systematic framework to help those that enjoy barbell strength training to continue to do so as safely and effectively as possible. When someone has pain or discomfort with a squat, deadlift, bench press or overhead lift, often times they are told to stop doing that lift, rather than taught how to modify or supplement their exercise with accessory work and programming to help build the foundation needed to promote training longevity.

Common Misconceptions about Strength Training/Lifting:

Weightlifting is bad for your joints
Strength training can actually help you prevent injury because weightlifting strengthens muscles and increases flexibility – both factors in keeping you injury free.

Weightlifting makes you look bulky
Regular strength training actually helps to build lean muscle mass, most strength plans are developed to help you become stronger not bulk up your muscle mass.

I’m too old to workout with heavy weights
Strength training exercise is even more important as you age to prevent muscle loss. It also helps to decrease bone loss and in some cases can even reverse bone loss.

Strength training doesn’t burn as many calories as cardio
Building muscle mass not only burns more calories, but it can elevate your metabolism with ultimately aids in great fat loss.

Strength training requires longer workouts to be effective
Performing multi muscle movements can actually save you time by incorporating compound movements that work multiple muscle groups at once.  This type of functional training also prepares your body for real-world activities by replicating activities we do in our everyday life, like lifting, carrying and getting up and down from the floor.
