This 👇

Our connective tissue not only has great tensile strength, but it has electrical properties that are often ignored or not well understood. The collagen in our connective tissues has properties that include piezoelectricity, the ability to generate electrical currents when deformed. This means that every time we move any part of our body, we are creating tiny electrical currents.

🟦 The Power of Stretching Exercises: Boost Flexibility, Reduce Injury Risk, and Enhance Performance 🟦

As professionals, we often neglect our physical health, prioritizing work and other responsibilities over exercise and self-care. However, incorporating stretching exercises into our daily routine can have a significant impact on our overall well-being, productivity, and job performance.

⏺️ The Role of Stretching Exercises:

🔸 Injury Prevention: Reduce muscle imbalances, improve joint mobility, and prevent injuries.

🔸 Improved Performance: Enhance power, speed, and endurance.

🔸 Reducing Muscle Soreness: Alleviate DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) after exercise.

🔵 Why Stretching Exercises Matter:

🔹 Maintaining Flexibility: Reduce the risk of injury, improve mobility, and enhance overall flexibility.

🔹 Reducing Chronic Pain: Improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation.

🔹 Enhancing Quality of Life: Reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost physical function.

♣️Evidence-Based Practice♣️

▪️ American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM): Recommends static stretching exercises for 15-30 seconds, 2-3 sets, 2-3 times a week.

▪️ American Council on Exercise (ACE): Recommends dynamic stretching exercises for 8-12 repetitions, 2-3 sets, 2-3 times a week.

♦️How to Incorporate Stretching Exercises into Your Daily Routine:

🔺 Start with a warm-up: 5-10 minutes of light cardio or dynamic stretching.

🔺 Focus on major muscle groups:
↳ Hamstrings
↳ Quadriceps
↳ Hip flexors
↳ Lower back
↳ Chest
↳ Shoulders
↳ Triceps

🔺 Hold stretches for 15-30 seconds: breathe deeply and naturally, feeling the stretch in the targeted muscle.

Shoulder blade pain give this a try

03/11/2025

So interesting… goes against a lot of beliefs we’ve had for a long time..

If you haven’t noticed…we abhor ice. Rest, and Nsaids are out too!

Why? Inflammation is absolutely necessary for healing. If you stop or limit it-you will impede the natural healing process of your body.

From our research, this is one of the most detrimental factors contributing to the chronic pain epidemic that we are seeing in the world today.

Enjoy this visual of what the shoulder blade does in rotation of the arm…

Scapulohumeral rhythm is the term that describes the coupled actions of the arm at the shoulder joint with the scapula at the scapulocostal joint.

Here we see the frontal-plane action of abduction of the arm at the shoulder joint with scapular upward rotation at the scapulocostal joint.

We usually think of the arm abducting 180 degrees, and it does relative to the trunk. But fully 1/3 of that motion (60 degrees) occurs not at the shoulder joint, but at the scapulocostal joint… in other words, movement of the scapula.

Importance?? When evaluating a client/patient with limited humeral abduction, we need to assess not only arm musculature but also scapular musculature.

So, for example, decreased arm abduction could be due to tight scapular downward rotators, which prevent the necessary scapular upward rotation. So assess the pectoralis minor, and also the levator scapulae and rhomboids.

and btw, for the scapula to move fully, the clavicle must also move… so more to assess 🤔

Perhaps the term should be “claviculo-scapula-humeral rhythm” 😎
