#Strength training is a vital component of all rehabilitation programmes.
#Deadlifts are often thought as hard, challenging exercises which should be avoided for people with
#lowerbackpain
However research shows that deadlifts can have a significant improvement on quality of life and severity of pain in those suffering from lower back pain.
Aasa et al 2015 showed that those completing heavy deadlifts three times a week had a significant reduction in pain and similar outcomes to those doing lighter exercises every day despite exercising much less frequently.
Welch et al 2017 showed that patients with lower back pain for over three months had significant reductions in lower back pain, improved quality of life and reduced disability after four months of deadlifting.
Lifting heavy weights, with correct form, allows the body to get used to picking items up from the floor. This prepares the body for day to day tasks such as picking up boxes or laundry baskets from the floor.
