I'M SURE ALL MY PEOPLE WITH SHOULDER PAIN HAVE HEARD OF THE ROTATOR CUFF MUSCLES!

⚠️Common pain in the shoulder comes from overactivity/shortened position in 1 of the rotator cuff muscles. 1 of these muscles becomes tight and causes agitation when in a seated slumped over position. It also gets tight when you play a sport that requires an arm swing.
📢This muscle is called the Subscapularis. Its responsible for internal rotation of the arm and shoulder. When in that bent over forward shoulder position of any kind, your shoulders are in an internally rotated position. They become tight from not being in that neutral position we should be in when sitting/standing with our shoulders in a down and back position.
🤾‍♂️A good sports example is a baseball pitcher, or former one. That constant repetitive whipping of the arm to launch that ball is a recipe for overuse. Repetitive use with that muscle, also possibly not being strong enough to take on such a task, causes compensations within the area that may affect a lot more of the body.
📍This muscle is also affected with years of being in a shortened position at a desk. Also, being involved in a vigorous sport. If it is also not being isolated and strengthened enough to handle years of arm swinging, this can cause horrible pain in the shoulder. It won't really be clear where the source of the pain is coming from. It is also a challenging muscle to find because it is deeper up inside the armpit area behind the Scapula.
🔑If you have this pain in your shoulder please contact me! I will be able to find out if it is indeed this muscle that is causing the tension. Even if it's not, I will be able to find out which one of the many potential causes it could be.

Do any of you struggle with lower back pain??

Usually that's a yes. One of the many potential causes could be the Piriformis muscle. This is a muscle that can cause excruciating pain if it is too tight. The Gluteal muscles actually play a big role in the over exertion of this muscle. If the Glute muscles aren't firing properly, the Piriformis along with the deeper external/internal rotator muscles will try and compensate for the under-activity of the Glutes. This is not supposed to happen because these muscles are too small to take on the load that the Glutes should. After all, the Gluteus Maximus is the biggest muscle in the body!
This muscle is the "getting out of the car" muscle. so it will rotate the leg away from your body. If it is overactive you will be able to tell by looking at someone. Both of the feet will be facing outwards when looking at someone from the front or the back. That is just one of the ways you can spot this on yourself or someone else. The attachment site for this piriformis muscle is at the anterior side of the sacrum, so you can imagine what it would feel like if this muscle was too tight. It would feel like someone was pulling your back apart from both sides, not fun. Not only that, most people will never know that this is the main cause of Sciatica. It run directly over the Sciatic Nerve. The more tightness, the more constriction on that nerve. In turn, shooting nerve pain down the leg occurs.
There are ways to assess this muscle for stretching and manual tissue work to see if this is indeed the problem. If you or anyone you know struggles with this, I would love for you to shoot me a message about it to see if I can be of assistance. Don't let this progress into something worse. The end result of this could be surgery, so please make sure you get help even if it's not myself providing it.

LETS TALK ABOUT THE
"ROTATOR CUFF" MUSCLES AGAIN!
📢We will be talking about a specific one a lot of people may have issues with. It is another one that's really hard to get to by yourself. It's name is the Supraspinatus, and when it is impinged or tight can cause havoc around the whole shoulder complex. There are some ways this muscle can get upset in particular. We are going to go over that, along with some pictures you can look at to see exactly where this is.
⚠️STILL POSITION RISKS
Sleeping on your side😴: Sleeping this way can cause the shoulder to become compressed, and it can be temporarily frozen. It may even take up to a few days to return to normal without any treatment. This is a scary thought when you have a demanding job that requires the use of this muscle throughout the work day. This all depends on how long you stay in the side sleeping position, and what position your arm is in under your body.
⚠️OVERHEAD HOLDING RISKS
Server🙋‍♂️ or Electrician👩‍🔧: I pick these two occupations because they are both a job that may require you to hold something overhead for a prolonged period of time. For instance, the server may have a tray that they haul around all day. Most of the time that serving tray is in a demanding position for the whole entire shoulder area. In the case of the electrician, we could be talking about someone who straps themselves to power lines, works with tools, and possibly reaches above themselves most of their shift. In both of these cases, if the Supraspinatus is weak, it could get overworked. This may result in an impingement, strain, or tear.
⚠️OVERHEAD QUICKER MOVEMENT RISKS
Swimmers🏊‍♂️ and Rock Climbers⛰: I chose these two sports because they both have a repetitive movement to them. For the swimmer, they may be doing multiple strokes in one meet. Just take the butterfly stroke into account. A stroke that includes athletes taking their arms by their sides, over the head, and back down to the sides. That is an explosive, quicker, specifically taxing range of motion to make repetitively. The rock climber however, may rely a little more on endurance. They may do that same butterfly motion, but usually with one arm at a time, reaching to the next highest point. it's more of a marathon than a sprint for them. These two activities entail a specifically stronger, more stabile shoulder. In turn, if this muscle is weaker, it can cause an injury, and take you out of the sport or activity for weeks.
🤓If you are experiencing any shoulder pain, It's worth coming in just to see what's causing it. Give me a call, or message me with any question! I've provided photos of this specific muscle for all of those visual learners!😴
