Course Description:

Barbell lifts like the squat and deadlift are powerful tools in rehabilitation—but many physical therapists never receive formal training in how to perform or coach them correctly. That gap matters.

Without a clear understanding of these foundational movements, therapists often lack the confidence to integrate strength training into rehab. Worse, patients may miss out on critical progress toward their goals—whether it’s returning to sport, building resilience, or simply gaining the strength to thrive in everyday life.

This course is designed to change that.

You’ll learn how to both perform and coach the squat and deadlift with clinical precision, so you can confidently integrate them into treatment plans and progress patients safely. Whether your patient is working toward an athletic goal or just needs real-world strength, this course will give you the clarity to lead them well.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Master Barbell Movement Mechanics
    Learn proper technique for the back squat and deadlift from the ground up.

  • Build Clinical Confidence in Strength Coaching
    Understand how and when to introduce barbell lifts in rehab and return-to-activity programs.

  • Recognize and Correct Faults
    Gain hands-on experience in assessing movement quality and cueing effectively.

Why It Matters:

Too often, therapists give general strengthening advice without a true plan—or avoid barbell lifts altogether due to uncertainty. This course will give you the confidence, clarity, and coaching skills to use these movements with purpose.

Whether you're in a performance clinic, a traditional outpatient setting, or working with athletes or everyday patients, this course will elevate how you think about strength.
