Lifting: 3D Loading

Course overview

Everybody has to lift things. Lift the baby, lift the groceries, and lift the cooler into the back of the minivan. The body was designed for lifting, from the legs to the hips, the feet, the spine, through the torso. So, why do so many injuries seem to come from lifting? In this issue of the Functional Video Digest Series, physical therapist Gary Gray will help us analyze the Chain Reaction of lifting and help us to recognize lifting in an integrated way. For, if we understand lifting, we can offer better rehabilitations that get to the cause - not symptoms - of the problems because the symptoms of a lift injury are seldom found in the location of its cause.
