Show Notes
Injuries can happen to anyone. Even to the people who are supposed to help you prevent training injuries and rehabilitate from powerlifting injuries back to the powerlifting platform. And PRS Clinical Coach Dr. Rori Alter, PT is no different.
What we know about injuries, how to treat them, and long term prognosis has changed over the years. Since the onset of Dr. Rori's hip injury over a decade ago, prevalence, diagnostic measures, and treatment options and outcomes have wildly changed for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and hip labral tears.
Dr. Rori has helped countless barbell athletes rehabilitate from hip injuries and surgeries related to FAI and barbell training and it is the injury category she is most passionate about helping people overcome. Because she has gone through it herself!
In this episode of the PRS Podcast Dr. Rori shares her story about the onset of her hip symptoms leading to many bumps in the road on her powerlifting journey. She shares:
-
What lead her to realize something was wrong with her hips
-
How and why she was initially diagnosed with FAI and if her symptoms at the time were actually related to FAI or training
-
Why she decided against surgery
-
How her hip dysfunction increased her risk for low back pain from barbell training
-
How she fractured her hip
-
What lifts are most affected by her hip condition
-
How she was able to continue to train and win podium spots at Nationals, The Arnold, and the World Championships despite what many people would consider career enders
