When Should You See a Physio for Weightlifting and Powerlifting Injuries?

If pain is affecting your ability to lift, progress, or train consistently, it may be worth addressing early.

Weightlifting-related presentations include:

Common Contributing factors include:

  • Pain during squats, deadlifts or pressing movements

  • Overuse from running or training

  • Shoulder discomfort with overhead or bench work

  • Poor movement mechanics during squatting or lunging

  • Lower back pain during lifting

  • Muscle imbalances around the hips and legs

  • Hip or knee pain under load

  • Impact or twisting movements (common in sports and combat training)

  • Recurring strains or movement limitations

  • Impact or twisting movements (common in sports and combat training)

In many cases, these issues are linked to technique, load management, and movement patterns rather than a single injury. A structured approach can help address these contributing factors and support long-term training.

TREATMENT FOR SHOULDER PAIN FROM WEIGHT LIFTING

Shoulder pain is common in lifters, particularly during bench press, overhead work, or repetitive upper body training. It may present as discomfort, weakness, or reduced control during pressing or pulling movements.

Management typically involves assessing shoulder mechanics, load tolerance, and technique. Treatment focuses on improving strength, stability, and movement control to support a return to lifting without ongoing discomfort.

TREATMENT FOR LOWER BACK PAIN FROM SQUATS AND DEADLIFTS

Lower back pain is another common issue, often related to how load is managed through the spine during squats and deadlifts. It may develop gradually or present after an increase in training intensity.

A structured approach focuses on movement patterns, strength, and control, helping you manage symptoms while building capacity to return to lifting safely.
