There are so many reasons you can be experiencing pain that don’t involve actual damage and I could talk about it forever. And if you’re feeling pain and someone tells you theres “nothing wrong” it’s time to find someone that can help find the source of the pain and work with you on it. Pain is a complicated subject that I’m passionate about. Pain science is fascinating and a huge part of my practice. When treating pain you have to look at the full picture and not just the body part experiencing the discomfort.

Small meniscus tears are a very common cause of knee pain. The goal of this exercise is that over time the meniscus tear will begin to “lay down”. Which will allow pain free range of motion to return and allow you to start comfortably strengthening the knee again. While this is a great, simple exercise for this diagnosis, its always a good idea to see a professional for a specific diagnosis and treamtment plan.

The Appley Scratch Test is a really easy way to reveal differences in shoulder rotation from side to side. But even if you have an assymetrical result you need to check the total range of motion on both sides. And as long as those are equal then you’re good to go. How does yours look?!

Is your favorite rotator cuff exercise actually working the rotator cuff?? If not, try these 3 alternatives and feel the difference đŸ’ȘđŸ»

And This mobilization is what’s known as a “Muscle Energy Technique”. The goal is to use the contracting muscles that surround the pelvis to create a change in the alignment of the pelvis. The most important note here is that there is little to no evidence to show that this can “realign” a pelvis or that your pelvis can really even be out of alignment to begin with. But even though it’s unlikely that this creates any real change in the pelvis, this MET always seems to provide immediate relief for my dancers that come to me with the complaint of “uneven hips” or their hips feeling “off”. After doing this MET it’s important to follow up with a few hip exercises to continue to contract the muscles of the hip. While this MET is safe and can be repeated as necessary you should never feel like you have to rely on it for symptom relief. Ideally this is just used on occasion to feel like you get things back on track.
