Relieve Stress With Exercise | The Jackson Clinics

Exercise is key in keeping your body healthy, but did you know that it is also a powerful form of stress relief? Check out this week's blog to discover unexpected ways that exercise can benefit your Mental Health!

Relieve Stress With Exercise | The Jackson Clinics Exercise benefits mental health by reducing stress, fighting depression, and keeping anxiety at bay. Here's how to relieve stress without leaving your home.

FIX YOUR SHOULDER PAIN⤵️

👀The Serratus Anterior is one of those funny muscles that, since they are “hidden” from our view (hiding under the shoulder blade), it can be easy for us to forget that they’re there at all.

🧠But here’s why you should care: it is the strongest and best positioned muscle to create UPWARD rotation of the shoulder blade, a critical factor in raising your arms down over your head.

💥Poor shoulder blade control means impingement pain in your shoulder (that old pinching feeling you’ve been ignoring for so long). Over time, this can lead to aggravation and even tears in the rotator cuff.

⚠️Another key function of the Serratus Anterior is to anchor the shoulder blade to the thorax, providing stability. If you don’t have this stability, any time you press or lift things your little rotator cuff muscles have to work harder than they’re meant to.

🔥All kinds of other issues can arise from a weak Serratus, like neck pain due to your traps having to kick in to provide that stability that we just talked about.

🤔So how do we fix it? By STABILIZING it with some very non-exciting fundamentals (sorry!) Truth, even prone shoulder taps as seen in the video can be extremely effective in strengthening your shoulders and should blades.

💪🏼So follow along as Dr. Jane Summers teaches her student Antonio all of her favorite cues for Shoulder Taps!

✅Remember: pain is your body’s way of saying “heyy something is wrong!” So don’t ignore it! Give us a call and be seen by one of our Board Certified specialists!

This year’s campaign is focused specifically on raising awareness about how 1 in 3 women are diagnosed with heart disease annually.

Recovery is never easy and rarely straight forward. From Pain Relief to Self-Efficacy, our proven 5 Step approach is part of what makes us a National Award Winning practice.

Recovery is never easy and rarely straight forward. From Pain Relief to Self-Efficacy, our proven 5 Step approach is part of what makes us a National Award Winning practice.

5 STEPS TO RECOVERY⤵️⁣
⁣
The road from pain to pain-free can be a long one and many patients make the mistake of gauging their progress solely by their pain levels.⁣
⁣
💡Truth is recovery, and ensuring the injury doesn’t happen again, involves much more than just pain relief.⁣
⁣
This Five Step approach is utilized in each of our clinics, ensuring that patients are fully recovered and able to perform before being discharged:⁣
⁣
🦴Pain Reduction: addressing the primary reason that brought you to PT, making sure you are experiencing relief along the process.⁣
🤸🏽Mobility: we treat the entire movement system and make sure you have enough mobility at each link in the chain.⁣
🧗🏻‍♀️Stability: once you are moving better, we begin to work on controlling that movement to stay healthy.⁣
⚖️Load Distribution: focusing on posture and body alignment at rest and when handling different loads.⁣
🧠Self-Efficacy: teaching you what to do, how to do it and how to assess whether you’re doing it correctly in case of future injury.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re in Rockville or Ashburn, we use this 5-step approach in each of our 21 clinics!⁣
