RPR® Lateral Sling Test


The RPR® Lateral Sling Test can help coaches, physical therapists, chiropractors, and athletic trainers identify problems in any person or athlete that walks on their feet.

Signs of bad lateral sling can include:

  • All speed movements - acceleration speed, lateral speed, change of direction

  • Tight back

  • Upper outside hamstring strains

  • Groin & medial hamstring strains

  • Foot issues

  • “Tight hips”

  • Shift while squatting (Valgus knees)

These are just some of the symptoms/signs an athlete or person with bad lateral sling may exhibit. Check out the video below to learn how to perform the RPR® Lateral Sling Test. Stay tuned — new RPR® Lateral Sling Reset video coming soon!
