Is your “Stiff Neck” actually a “Stuck” Collarbone? 🦴

If you feel a “pinch” or a hard stop when turning your head, the problem might not be your neck at all—it might be your sternoclavicular (SC) joint.

The Science of “Congruent” Rotation

In a healthy system, the body moves in a coordinated, “congruent” pattern. When you rotate your head to the left, your left clavicle (collarbone) doesn’t just sit there—it actually needs to rotate posteriorly (roll backward) and move slightly to allow the surrounding musculature and fascia to glide properly.

When the clavicle is “stuck” or fails to rotate, it creates a mechanical block at the base of the neck. This often results in:

Limited range of motion.

A feeling of “tightness” that stretching doesn’t fix.

Compensatory strain on the cervical vertebrae.

This exercise uses a manual tactile cue to retrain that relationship:

Lateral Pull: Use your hand to gently guide the clavicle away from the midline (manubrium).

Posterior Rotation: Promote a backward roll of the bone.

Active Rotation: Maintain that position while slowly rotating your head to the same side.

You aren’t just stretching; you are retraining your brain and joints to move as a single, efficient unit.

Stop forcing your neck to turn! Try THIS instead. 🛑

Most people think neck mobility is just about stretching the sides of the neck. But often, the limitation is actually a motor control issue.

Your neck needs to shift before it can fully rotate. By combining a lateral shift with cervical rotation (as shown here), you’re teaching your nervous system how to move the joints efficiently and congruently.

Who is this for?

Anyone feeling a “pinch” at the end of their rotation.

Athletes who need quick, smooth head checks.

People who feel “stiff” after a long day at the desk.

Give this motor control drill a shot and feel the difference in your range of motion!

Did you know your jaw position is intimately tied to the rotation of your skull? 🧠🦷

If your jaw deviates to one side when you open it, or if one side feels significantly stiffer than the other, the root cause might be a lack of coordination between your cranium and your TMJ.

This “Movement Snack” uses left cranial rotation to facilitate left lateral deviation of the jaw. This specific combination helps “open” and decompression the right TMJ—perfect for those whose jaw tends to shift right at rest or during movement.

The Mechanics:

Frontal Bone Assist: Use your hand to passively guide your head into a gentle left rotation.

Jaw Slide: Simultaneously shift your jaw to the left.

The Connection: Left cranial rotation naturally assists with left lateral deviation of the TMJ. By combining them, you are using the biomechanics of the skull to “unlock” the jaw joint.

Why it works: The cranium and TMJ do not move in isolation. When you improve the motor control of the frontal bone and cranial rotation, you create the necessary space for the jaw to glide and center itself properly.

Move better, feel better & live better. ✨

Save this “snack” to find relief the next time your jaw feels tight! 📌

Did you know the source of your neck pain and limited mobility might actually be your head (cranium), not your neck? 🧠🤔

If you feel “stuck” when turning your head to check your blind spot or looking over your shoulder, the issue might not be your muscles—it might be your motor control of your head.

This “Movement Snack” focuses on the cranium. By using your hands to manually facilitate rotation, you’re teaching your nervous system that it’s safe and efficient to move into that space.

The Mechanics:

Left Hand: Facilitates posterior rotation (rolling the skull back).

Right Hand: Facilitates anterior rotation (rolling the skull forward).

The Result: This specific “push-pull” creates left cranial torsion, allowing your head and neck to rotate to the left with significantly less tension.

Check the bottom left corner for the mirrored version to work on your right-side rotation! 🔁

Move better, feel better, & live better✨

Save this for the next time you feel tension building at your desk! 📌

The “Power Coil” Movement Snack 📝

Maximize your court coverage with this Pickleball Movement Snack 🧠🔄

To stay agile and injury-free through a long season of pickleball, you need more than just a warm-up—you need a neuromuscular reset.

In pickleball, your power and reach come from your ability to coil. If you’re “stuck” in your mid-back or hips, you’re losing power on your drives and sacrificing reach at the kitchen. This segmental rotation drill is the ultimate “maintenance snack” to keep your kinetic chain fluid.

The Pro-Level Cues:

Close your eyes: Take out the visual distractions of the court to truly feel where your rotation is limited.

Segmental Sequence: Guide the movement with your hand—Head ➡️ Shoulders ➡️ Pelvis ➡️ Feet. Feel the spiral travel down your body.

The Arch Lift: As you rotate, feel the arch of your left foot naturally rise. This indicates you are coiling correctly through the chain.

The “Anchor” (Critical): Keep the base of your first toe pinned to the court. If that big toe lifts, you aren’t improving your body’s twisting potential; you’re just spinning your wheels.

Check the bottom left corner for the mirrored view to keep your movement symmetrical for both sides of the court! 🪞

Don’t just play harder—move better. 👟✨

Eat. Sleep. Pickleball. Repeat. 🔁

A year of growth, 2939 points won, and a whole lot of sweat.

I think it’s safe to say I basically lived at Everyday Ballerz this year.

See you on the court in 2026! 👊💥

Raise your hand if you’ve had a “close call” at the net. 🙋‍♂️

The math doesn’t lie: At the kitchen line, a 60 mph smash gives you about 0.16 seconds to react.

The problem? It takes your brain about 0.25 seconds just to process what it’s seeing. That means by the time you realize the ball is coming at your face, it’s already too late.

If you are wearing regular sunglasses, you might actually be in more danger if those lenses shatter.

My Personal Setup: I used to hate wearing eye protection because of fog and sweat. That’s why I use .

They are LENS-LESS frames. They are engineered to physically deflect the ball away from your eye socket, but because there is no glass or plastic in front of your eye, there is zero fog and zero distortion.

Whatever you choose, don’t gamble with your eyesight.

Why Stretching Your Hip Might Not Be Working 🛑👇

If you are dealing with hip pain or a “pinching” sensation during squats, simple stretching often isn’t enough. You need to reset the system. 🧠

Here is a behind-the-scenes look at a comprehensive examination and treatment session at SKYE Physiotherapy.

The Clinical Breakdown:

1️⃣ Comprehensive Examination: We explored the biomechanical relationship between the thorax and lumbar spine to determine how it was affecting the alignment and mobility of the pelvis/hip complex.

2️⃣ Manual Therapy: We utilized expert spinal and peripheral joint manipulation to clear the joint restrictions and restore mobility immediately.

3️⃣ Dry Needling = Immediate Neuromuscular Reset and Muscle Activation

The Result? Immediate improvement in joint mobility and strength. When you treat the root cause, the body responds instantly.

🛑 Dealing with a “pinch” or hot pain in your hip while playing?

If you feel a sharp, “hot” pain in the front or side of your hip—especially when lunging for a dink—it is often a sign of Hip Impingement.

Hip pain and impingement are often associated with hip weakness or neuromuscular inhibition.

In this video, I’m showing exactly how this affects a Pickleball player:

1️⃣ The Test (Weakness): Watch how easily his hip gives way. When your External Rotators are inhibited, they stop stabilizing the femoral head. Instead of gliding smoothly, the bone jams forward, creating that painful impingement and making your leg feel heavy or weak on the court. ❌

2️⃣ The Fix (UFIR Manipulation): I’m using a specific UFIR technique to clear the restriction. We are resetting the neuromuscular signal that was shutting the muscle down.

3️⃣ The Result: Instant Strength. ⚡ Now that the hip is unlocked, it can generate its full potential strength output and fully resist against the resistance—helping you to outperform on the pickleball courts. 🥒💪

Does your hip feel “jammed” or weak during matches?

🥵 This is why we play.

It’s easy to show up when your shots are falling and the points come quick.

It’s much harder to stay in the fight when your legs are burning, the rally won’t end, and you have to dig deep just to keep the ball in play.

But those are the moments that define your game.

In Pickleball (and honestly, in recovery too), the magic doesn’t happen when things are easy. It happens when you refuse to bail out of the struggle.

Like the video says: Play fearless. It’s hard to beat someone who just won’t give up. 🥒💪
