10 Minute Tip #14: Anterior Knee Pain With Deadlifting | Why & How To Address It

from Progressive Rehab & Strength · host Dr. Rori Alter

While the deadlift is not as tough on your knees as the squat, you may experience anterior knee pain when deadlifting. If you're wondering what to do when your knee hurts while deadlifting, we're here to help! As with the squat, in the deadlift the knees are bent. However, there is less knee bend, less concentric muscle motion, and almost no eccentric muscle motion in the deadlift. Because of these reasons, we tend to see less knee pain with deadlifts than the squat. However, that does not mean you'll never experience knee pain with the deadlift. In this episode of the PRS Podcast we discuss the "bottom" position of the deadlift and how suboptimal positioning has the potential to contribute to knee pain. Similar to the squat, the main factors that contribute to knee pain with deadlifts include: Depth (or hip height in the start position) Bar Placement Eye Gaze Tension Balance Torso Position (in the start position) Footwear However, in the deadlift, there is one additional technical contribution to knee pain that we do not see in the squat. Listen to the full episode on the PRS Podcast to learn how to address knee pain while deadlifting and what the secret issue is that you may be doing.
