Understanding your pain goes beyond identifying where it hurts 😖
During an initial assessment, we look for patterns by asking you a few key questions. These details help us determine the most appropriate next steps, whether that’s treatment, targeted exercise, or further investigation.
In some cases, this may also include working alongside your physician or recommending imaging to better understand what’s going on 🤔
Our goal is to take a thorough, informed approach so we can address the root of the issue, not just the symptoms.
📅 Book your initial assessment on our website in the link in the bio or send us a DM to get started.

Dealing with shoulder impingement? Start smart, move better. 💪
Begin with pendulum swings to gently open up the joint, reduce stiffness, and get blood flowing before you train. Then level up with bilateral external rotations using a resistance band—targeting your rotator cuff to build strength and stability where it counts.
Prep the shoulder. Strengthen the support. Stay pain-free.

You don’t need a drawer full of fancy tools to take care of your body 🙌
A simple doorframe + a lacrosse ball can work wonders for releasing tight chest muscles. Just place the ball between your chest and the frame, lean in, and let the pressure do its thing. Breathe, move slowly, and let those tight spots melt away.
Sometimes the most effective solutions are also the simplest. No expensive gadgets required—just consistency and a little creativity 💪

We’re seeing a spike in shoulder injuries at Ossum Wellness—and it’s no surprise. Spring is here, and so are golf swings, tennis serves, pickleball rallies… you name it! 🌸🏌️‍♂️🎾
Before you jump back into your favorite activities, here are 2 simple tips to help prevent shoulder injuries:
1️⃣ Warm up properly – get those muscles loose and ready to move
2️⃣ Strength train – build stability and support for your joints
A little prep now can save you a lot of pain later. Stay active, stay smart! 💪

If your shoulders are always feeling tight, weak, or irritated, don’t skip rotational strength work 🙌
Using a resistance band to train your rotator cuff helps build stability where you need it most. These small muscles play a huge role in keeping your shoulder joint centered and moving smoothly—especially during workouts and everyday movements.
Benefits of banded rotational exercises:
• Improves shoulder stability and control
• Reduces risk of injury and flare-ups
• Supports better posture and movement mechanics
• Helps you lift, push, and pull without pain
Consistency matters more than intensity here. Light resistance, clean form, and controlled reps go a long way.
Strong shoulders aren’t just built with big lifts—they’re built with smart ones 💪
Tip: for an added challenge, perform this exercise SLOWLY to initiate an eccentric muscle contraction (pain-free of course!)

Pendulum exercise = simple but powerful 🙌
A great way to help your arm move more comfortably overhead—perfect to do before your workout.
Aim for 20 circles in each direction 🔄
Remember: keep your arm relaxed and let the movement come from your lower body, not your shoulder.
Small movement, big impact 💪
