#39 - Functional Anatomy of the Hip in Barbell Training with Dr. John Petrizzo, PT, CSCS, PRSCC, SSC

Hip pain is common in barbell training but that doesn't mean that barbell training is bad for your hips or that you need imaging or even surgery to resolve your hip pain. Better understanding your functional anatomy, your technique, and how to optimize your movement (along with optimizing your programming) can give you the tools to address your symptoms while continuing to train.    In this episode of the PRS Podcast, PRS Clinical Coaches, Drs. Rori Alter, Alyssa Haveson, and John Petrizzo discuss the functional anatomy of the hip and the role it plays in barbell training. They discuss common concerns having to do with the structure of the hip and how the movement of the hip significantly contributes to various aspects of your technique.    This episode is an educational experience for barbell trainees, powerlifters, Crossfitters, weightlifters, and other strength lifters to deeply understand their hips to optimize their training and technique to either address their symptoms or reduce the risk of injury in the future.    If you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, medical doctor, strength coach, or student clinician, this episode is a great review and application tutorial regarding the hip and barbell training.   In this episode we discuss the: Normal movement of the hip joint Internal structures and surfaces of the hip Tendons, ligaments, and muscles surrounding the hip joint How the hip affects the knee Hip pain, labrum tears, and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)   Resources mentioned in this episode: Functional Anatomy of the Hip in Barbell Training YouTube Video How to Low Bar Back Squat YouTube Video  Barbell Back Squat | How to (coach the) Squat in 10 Minutes Podcast Episode   If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59    Get in touch with the show!
