Just because it’s local to pain doesn’t automatically make it the problem 📢

The body is WAY more complicated than that.

2 big things i look at when someone has pain in an area:
1. How it performs when activated
2. What the surrounding muscles are doing

The surrounds muscles (and tissues in general, but we’ll save that for later) play a huge role in how the muscle with pain functions.

Just because it’s IN pain doesn’t mean it’s the CAUSE of pain.

Fun fact - that “knot” you usually feel is apart of your upper/mid trap. They connect your neck to your shoulder blade and spine. These are the muscles responsible for pulling your shoulders up to your ears like in a shrug.

Except when they get stuck there, they get a little unhappy and can cause pain and that knot you feel

Here’s a snippet of some work we do on the upper trap to relax that baby out 💆🏻‍♀️

If your shoulders are up to your ears from stress - you need this.

Pain in your shoulder can be coming from a bicep tendon that’s slipped out of its groove 😵‍💫

The long head of your biceps tendon sits in a small valley between two boney parts on your arm.

That tendon can come out of the groove- either fully or partially and sit on top of the boney part and cause a lot of pain.

Thankfully, with some gentle encouragement, it can be put back. It’s not the most fun or relaxing thing, but can reduce pain immediately.

Here’s our process:
- release muscles that can be pulling the arm forward snd rounding it inwards
-activate muscles that hold it where it should be
- encourage it back in with manipulating the arm
