Exciting weekend at the American Society of Shoulder and Elbow Therapists (ASSET) annual meeting, held alongside the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES)!

Honored to share my work on rotator cuff strength expectations after rotator cuff repair surgery with such an inspiring and innovative community of clinicians, therapists, and surgeons.

Don’t Let Shoulder Strain Cut Your Day Short

In the September 2025 issue of The Maine Sportsman, Dr. Dirk Kokmeyer of Forza Physical Therapy (Augusta, ME) tackles how fly anglers can protect their casting arm—especially after a long day of double-hauls, sidearm casts, or casting heavy striper gear that put serious load on the rotator cuff.

He offers real-world advice like:
- Strengthen your shoulder blade and core to support smoother casts.
- Practice body mechanics—let your trunk and rod do the work, not just your shoulder.
- Rest strategically to avoid overuse injuries before they happen.

Whether you're chasing trout in mountain streams or stripers off Maine's coast, these tips help you cast stronger and longer.
