I'm going to push back a bit on the no powerlifting. Like any other sport or exercise, risk vs reward needs to be looked at, but increasing strength is almost always useful. I would tell everyone to power lift, but also tell them there is zero reason to ever do 1RMs (use 3RM or 5RM and just calculate). And if people are really conservative, then set sane maxes like no more than 2x BW for squat/DL.
I powerlifted for many years, and have only had major injuries from sports - a torn ACL (wakeboarding) and disc herniation (basketball). In both cases, my doctors/PTs said my base strength accelerated my recovery.
