In this breakdown, we will be covering an entrapment (𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘬) in the very deep muscles of the upper and mid-thoracic spine, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞: This nerve provides the motor input for The Levator Scapulae, Rhomboid Major and Rhomboid Minor Muscles. It helps these muscles to elevate and retract the shoulder blade. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣

⁣⁣
𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Nerve entrapments are a really big deal, leading to a symptom presentation of numbness, aching, burning, and tension. Nerve entrapments occur as muscles become damaged, either from direct trauma or sustained contraction (𝘪𝘦. 𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦.) ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When this happens the body lays down scar tissue to help support the area. As the scar tissue gets bigger it eventually gets glued to the nerve and the aforementioned symptoms start to occur. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞-𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞: In the hierarchy of the body the number one priority is to protect the nervous system because if that is compromised, nothing else will function correctly. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Nerve entrapments are one of the main causes of pain presentations from an injury, yet are often completely missed. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣

⁣⁣
To break down the nerve entrapment it needs just the right amount of depth, then the tension as the client moves through a full range of motion. ⁣⁣

Week of February 26

If you stop taking care of yourself, your mind and body will eventually stop taking care of you. 🧖🏻‍♀️

There’s always time for self-care. Even if you’re spinning a bajillion plates and you can’t remember what day of the week it is. All you need is 30 seconds. You sure you don’t have time to self-care…? Yeah, didn’t think so. 💭

Here are three ways to self-care in 1 minute or less:

💙 Breathe in for 4. Hold for 4. Exhale for 8. Repeat three times.
💙 Get a glass. Fill it with water. Drink it. Hello hydration.
💙 Stand up. Shake your body like a polaroid picture. You’ll feel ridiculous. That’s okay.

In this week’s breakdown, we will be covering an important rotator cuff muscle that covers almost the whole portion of the back part of the scapula, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞. ⁣
⁣𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞: There are two functions associated with this muscle.⁣

𝟸. 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵.⁣
⁣𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝗪𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐲𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞:⁣

𝘓𝘢𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘮 & 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦⁣
⁣𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Most clinicians recognize the Infraspinatus as a primary mover of the arm, but what often gets neglected is its role in shoulder stabilization. With our ever-increasing sedentary postures, it can lead to altered biomechanics in the shoulder and cause this muscle to be loaded up with a significant amount of scar tissue. When this happens it puts more strain on the joints and tendons, often leading to rotator cuff tears and cartilage problems.⁣ Treatment of the Infraspinatus Muscle also tends to be too compressive, which doesn’t allow for accurate tissue slide and tension to properly get rid of the Scar Tissue formation in the muscle.
⁣𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞-𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞: When assessing and looking at shoulder pain most practitioners look at the effect of it, which presents in the Supraspinatus tendon or the joint of the shoulder. Many people get shoulder surgery, only to have the problem get worse. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐒𝐄, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞.

Happy New Year to my fellow therapists, clients, family, and friends!!

🎊Tips for Setting New Year's Resolutions 🎊

As we bid farewell to another year, the dawn of a new chapter awaits – the perfect opportunity to set intentions and create positive change in our lives. Here are some tips to guide you in crafting meaningful New Year's resolutions:

1. Reflect on the Past Year: Take a moment to reflect on the highs and lows of the past year. What have you learned? What accomplishments are you proud of? This reflection can help shape realistic and purposeful resolutions.

2. Set Specific Goals: Instead of vague resolutions, set specific, measurable, and achievable goals. Define clear milestones that will guide you on your journey and help you measure progress along the way.

3. Prioritize Well-Being: Consider resolutions that prioritize your well-being. Whether it's focusing on physical health, mental wellness, or cultivating positive habits, putting self-care at the forefront can lead to a more fulfilling year.

4. Start Small: Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable steps. This not only makes your resolutions less overwhelming but also increases the likelihood of success. Small victories build momentum.

5. Create a Plan: Develop a plan of action for each resolution. Outline the steps you need to take, potential challenges, and strategies for overcoming obstacles. Having a roadmap enhances your chances of staying on track.

6. Stay Realistic: While it's wonderful to dream big, ensure your resolutions are realistic and attainable within the given timeframe. Setting achievable goals fosters a sense of accomplishment and motivates you to aim higher.

7. Involve Others: Share your resolutions with friends, family, or a supportive community. Accountability can be a powerful motivator, and having a network of encouragement can make your journey more enjoyable.

8. Track Progress: Keep track of your progress regularly. This could involve journaling, using apps, or creating visual representations of your journey. Monitoring your achievements reinforces commitment.

9. Adaptability is Key: Life is dynamic, and circumstances may change. Be open to adjusting your resolutions if needed. Flexibility ensures that setbacks don't derail your entire journey.

10. Celebrate Achievements: Celebrate your successes, no matter how small. Acknowledge and reward yourself for reaching milestones. Positive reinforcement fuels motivation and keeps you inspired.

Remember, New Year's resolutions are not about perfection but progress. Embrace the journey, be kind to yourself, and cherish the opportunity for growth in the upcoming year. Wishing you a year filled with purpose, resilience, and joy!
