💥 INTRODUCING THE ETHOS TOP 3 SERIES 💥

The primary goal of this series is to help YOU understand what the best 3 strength exercises are for varying body parts, each week!

As therapists we often get asked “what are the 3 exercises I should be doing at home”… well here ya go! 😎

💪🏼 What better place to start the new series with than the shoulder, more specifically the rotator cuff! Listed below are 3 exercises to implement into training to strengthen and improve endurance of the rotator cuff muscles.

💡 These may not be appropriate for everyone. Therefore, if you have a rotator cuff injury or shoulder pain, please reach out to us or your doctor and seek professional guidance.

1. Full can / shoulder scaption
- 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps
- 62% supraspinatus activation > 52% deltoid activation
- TIPS: avoid shrugging, keep shoulder blades tucked back, neutral neck

2. Side lying external rotation
- 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps
- 67% teres minor activation in side lying > 55% activation with standing banded external rotation
- 62% infraspinatus activation in side lying > 53% activation with standing banded external rotation
- TIPS: use TOWEL under arm to increase blood flow and activation to the rotator cuff muscles

3. Kneeling external rotation press
- 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps
- Strengthens all four rotator cuff muscles
- Great for dynamic stabilization and functional strengthening
- TIPS: keep elbow shoulder height with row, externally rotate, keep elbow locked and press overhead. AVOID arching low back

🤔Dry Needling VS Acupuncture 🤔

“What’s the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?” — A question we, and I’m sure many other licensed dry needling professional gets when the topic gets brought up.
🧐 But, it is a really good question because they can be very similar in the sense that they both use similar needles.
Neither acupuncture or dry needling “inject” anything into the tissue, therefore they are not a wet needle… but a dry needle. 😬🥁
🧘🏻Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years.
- The primary goal (of many) is to balance the body’s energy flow, Qi.
- Thin needles are placed along meridians throughout the body to aide in energy flow.
- Used to treat a wide range of conditions, such as chronic pain, nervous system, digestive health, and much more.
💉Dry Needling is a more modern Western practice, that is used as a intramuscular trigger point release.
- Varying needles are used into a specific problem area (I.e., upper trap or shoulder) to assist with range of motion, strength, and reduced pain levels.
- Myofascial trigger points and referred pain patterns are the primary emphasis of DN rather than meridians with acupuncture.
- Dry needling, similar to acupuncture, can have a positive effect on the nervous system as it can activate your rest and digest (PNS) system to aide in recovery
- Electrical stimulation can also be applied to assist with reducing tone, pain levels, muscle activation and improving mobility.
- DN is great treatment source for musculoskeletal pain, headaches, tendinitis, TMJ, and much more!
Generally, a quick explanation involves dry needling being more specific to the pain or problem area, whereas acupuncture tends to treat the whole body’s energy levels.

🛑 Disclaimer: dry needling and acupuncture are to be completed by ONLY licensed health care professionals. Please contact a licensed acupuncturist for more information regarding acupuncture as we practice dry needling.

🔥Sauna Benefits🔥

As saunas continue grow in popularity, this is a good time to educate our peers on the benefits of sauna use based on research.

📚 has a great article on sauna use and the benefits it has on heart health. This article also touches on how to safely use the sauna. 😎

As seen in the article, benefits include (but not limited to):
- arthritis
- fatigue
- cold/flu symptoms
- muscle soreness
- psoriasis
- stress

UCLA also discussed the cardiovascular benefits of the sauna, including: ❤️
- increased circulation
- blood pressure
- total cholesterol
- CV respiratory fitness

In this article, they discuss one study that followed 2,300 sauna bathers for 20 years and found that frequent sauna use (4-7x/week) reduced death rates related heart disease and stroke. 🔥❤️💪🏼

Another common question we get asked frequently is “how long should I go in the sauna?” The general answer is usually no more than 20 minutes, which is supported in this article. There are other research articles that support use for longer durations, such as 30 minutes for post-exercise recovery, therefore make sure you DO YOUR RESEARCH, HYDRATE💧, BE SMART, and LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.

also has a great article on sauna use post-workout. 💪🏼🥵
- promotes muscle recovery
- supports heart health findings
- reduced stress and improved mental well-being 😬

Shoutout to Yasmine, who has finished her final 12-week clinical rotation in Wayne State’s DPT program AND has passed her NPTE to officially become a DPT in December when she graduates!
