How to Squat with back pain | Reset-Wellness Physical Therapy

If you have pain, or increased pain with your back squat, it might be time to modify your exercise program.

I like these variations to continue to squat, but reduce the pressure on the low back

You will not be able to lift as much weight, but its a good workout. It will also allow you to work on your squat depth.

As you start to feel better and want to return to squats: limit the ROM and use a Box Squat

If you can’t squat at all, try ome loaded step-ups to keep the quads going
