Offset Heel Elevated Deadlift

Offset Heel Elevated Deadlift

Keys to this exercise are:

1. Maintain foot contacts, medial heel, arch and big toe.
2. Maintain stacked relationship between rib cage and pelvis.
3. Allow hips to turn towards the back side when descending.

Some reasons to include this activity:

1. Improve hip range of motion. This activity biases internal rotation at the pelvis and hip.
2. Improve posterior expansion at the pelvis and hip. Because the foot is placed more towards a position associated with the early stance/initial contact phase of gait, this activity will improve posterior expansion of the pelvis and rib cage.
