Fixing Knee Alignment in a Squat and Deadlift | Feat. Tim Keeley | No.162

Ok people as promised here is my new #dailyREHAB number 42 on fixing knee alignment in a squat and deadlift. First up, the kettlebell squat with a powerband on the leg you are trying to correct. This is a bit advanced from simple glute activation and simply trying to improve knee position. The resistance of the band helps you internally with feedback messaging on position, as well as visually, using a mirror, plus the added benefit of strengthening the hip from the resistance load of the band. Don’t make the kettlebells too heavy (as you can see in this they are light 😂😂) these ones are only 8 kilos each which allows me starting off to focus on form in the squat for one, and knee alignment second. This is great for people who find they weight shift and / or have a knee rolling or collapsing in when they squat. 2nd is the hip external rotation / Glute stretch combo which helps improve the ROM and mobility around the hip, allowing to get better alignment in the squat and deadlift with the band. 3rd is the bar RDL (Romanian deadlift) using the band but this time it goes between the legs going slightly behind. Be careful on the setup as I show it. Again this is a bit advanced from simple glute activation and simply trying to improve knee position. The resistance of the band helps you internally with feedback messaging on position, as well as visually, using a mirror, plus the added benefit of strengthening the hip from the resistance load of the band. Don’t make the load too heavy so you can focus on form in the deadlift for one, and knee alignment second. This is great for people who find they weight shift and / or have a knee rolling or collapsing in when they lift.

If this doesn’t work for you then seek some assessment from the Physio to work our what else is going on.
