🧠 Tissue Issue Tip of the Day: Shoulder Pain or Rounded Posture?

Do you have shoulder pain or notice your shoulders rounding forward? Spending hours in front of a computer… Doing lots of pressing exercises... Not paying attention to your posture?

All of this puts your shoulders in a chronically internally rotated position—leading to tightness, discomfort, and even injury.

🎯 Two key areas to target: ✅ Pec Minor ✅ Pec Major

By using Myofascial Stretching, we can release these tight structures and help open up the chest, restore alignment, and take the pressure off your shoulders.

💬 Want to learn how to stretch these properly and feel the difference? Just reach out—I’ll show you how to make this part of your routine.

🧠 Tissue Issue Tip of the Day:

Tight Lower Back?
Try Decompression!

Do you wake up with a tight lower back—or feel stiffness after sitting, standing, running, or especially after a workout? Ever feel a shooting pain down the leg? That could be a sign of sciatic nerve compression.

💥 Most daily activities compress the spine, especially the L5-S1 segment—the lowest disk in the lumbar spine. This is the area that takes the most impact from life and lifting.

🧘‍♂️ My go-to post-workout move? The L5-S1 ELDOA against the wall—a simple but powerful decompression technique.

Benefits: ✅ Reduced pressure on the discs ✅ Reduction of pain ✅ Improves posture + circulation
✅ Rehydration of the spinal disc
✅ Acts as both treatment and prevention

Don’t wait for pain to stop you. Incorporate decompression work into your routine and feel the difference.

TISSUE ISSUE TIP OF THE DAY!

Back and Neck Pain?

One of the hidden culprits might be how you sleep. If you stay in the same position all night—and that position isn’t ideal—you could be setting yourself up for pain.

Sleeping in poor positions for long periods can lead to Ischemia, a condition where blood flow is reduced. That means less oxygen and fewer nutrients reaching your tissues… and more tension, stiffness, and discomfort by morning.

✨ A couple of small tweaks to your sleeping setup can make a big difference. The best options? Flat on your back or on your side—but only if your posture is supported correctly.

🎥 In my next post, I’ll drop a video showing you exactly how to set yourself up for better sleep, so you wake up without the usual neck and back pain.

TISSUE ISSUE TIP OF THE DAY!

🏌️‍♂️ Recovery After Golf ⛳️

After a full day on the course, your body’s been through a lot—especially with the repetitive motion of swinging a club. This one-sided movement can overwork certain muscles, leading to tightness, soreness, inflammation and restricted range of motion.

That’s where recovery with Range CBD .cbd comes in. Applying it directly to those overused muscles helps reduce inflammation, ease soreness, and speed up recovery—so you can restore your range of motion, and get back on the course sooner and feeling better.

Every product is 100% natural, THC-free, and rigorously tested to ensure it’s free of pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, and toxins. Range CBD offers the purest CBD isolate available, designed for maximum absorption and efficacy.

Bonus: less inflammation = more relaxed muscles = better sleep 😴

TISSUE ISSUE TIP OF THE DAY!

The Importance of Taking a Health History When Treating a Client

Understanding a client’s health history is essential for effective treatment. Past injuries, surgeries, chronic stress, nutrition, and even seemingly minor incidents—like a sprained ankle from years ago—can all play a role in current pain and mobility issues.

For example, a client may seek treatment for hip or knee pain without realizing that an old ankle sprain is the root cause. If they didn’t mention it in their health history, the treatment might only provide temporary relief. However, once the clinician identifies and addresses the restricted mobility and strength loss from the old ankle injury, the hip or knee pain can be resolved.

This is why sharing all health details, even those that seem unimportant, is crucial. A thorough history helps uncover the true cause of pain and ensures a more effective, long-term solution. Assess, don’t guess!

Ski Season is Here – Move Better, Ski Better!
Ski season is in full swing! The best way to stay pain-free and perform at your best is with an assessment. Whether you’re feeling great and want to take your skiing to the next level, or you’re dealing with pain and restricted movement, the right assessment can make all the difference.

A Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is ideal if you’re not moving efficiently and want to move better to optimize your performance. If you’re experiencing pain or limitations, a Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) can help identify the root cause and get you on track to moving well pain-free.

Let’s get you assessed and ready to hit the slopes with confidence!

TISSUE ISSUE TIP OF THE DAY!

Ankle Mobility & Knee Pain Connection

Limited ankle mobility is often a hidden culprit behind knee pain. In a recent assessment, I found that restricted dorsiflexion was due to tight soleus and gastrocnemius muscles. When a joint designed for mobility (the ankle) loses its range, the body compensates by forcing motion at the next available joint—often a stable one like the knee. The problem? The knee isn’t built for excessive movement, leading to pain and dysfunction.

In the first picture, the knee is positioned behind the rear edge of the ankle bone, indicating restricted mobility. After treatment, the second picture shows improvement, with the knee moving past the rear edge. Ideally, optimal ankle mobility allows the knee to pass beyond the front edge of the ankle bone.
To improve mobility, I use various soft tissue modalities, including cupping, to increase range of motion. However, true recovery requires more than just treatment—consistent homework and follow-up sessions are essential to restoring full functional movement.

In this case, weak dorsiflexors, particularly the tibialis anterior, were also contributing to the issue and needed strengthening. Assess, don’t guess! Address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Ankle Mobility – The Overlooked Key to Pain Relief

Do you struggle with knee, hip, lower back, or neck pain? Or maybe you’ve noticed a lack of range of motion, tightness, or discomfort that seems to come out of nowhere? If your hip isn’t fully extending, your glutes aren’t fully engaging, or your knee suddenly aches without an obvious injury, the root cause might be poor ankle mobility and strength.

Loss of mobility in one joint often leads to compensation and issues in other areas. The best approach? Get assessed, address the root cause, and treat the issue at its source—so you can move and feel better!
