If your shoulder’s been barking at you, let’s zoom out for a second. 🔍

Hey, if you got some shoulder pain, tune in. When we're talking about chronic pain, persistent pain, even an acute thing, we're always talking about top down. How do we get the brain to have a little bit more resilience, a little more breathing room, sleep, nutrition, safety in the community? How do you feel? What are your belief effects? All of those things matter very much in terms of how your brain is interpreting what's going on with your shoulder. We're also fans of this bottom up approach. What can I do to improve the local physiology and how can I signal in my brain that it's safe to move? One of the things that we prescribe for anyone with shoulder pain is our TRS shoulder spin up. And if you haven't seen that, it's a lot of rotation. movement. We're trying to touch shapes and touch kind of shoulder positions that number one respect the relationship of the arm to the shoulder and that shoulder to the body. Plus, we get a lot of movement in the context. It's important to understand that if we don't get the reps of movement in with the athlete, we often are going to see sort of incomplete healing. And the problem with the shoulder is that it is hard to get lots and lots of movement in. For the lower body, we start walking, we spinning, but there's not really an analog for the upper body. Maybe I could get on the assault bike for a billion hours and shoot myself cuz that's boring. Or I can row. But one of the things we're trying to do is say signal that it's okay to move and to get a lot of movement and blood flow back into that system. So unless you walk around with an enemies device, you're going to have a plan. Shoulder spin up from the ready state's an easy way to touch some essential vitamins and minerals of that shoulder, right? Some movement basics. And it's always self-limiting. So if you've got a range that you're babying, you know how to do that. We also love the rope for this. And we do a couple things. We just do forward spins and backward spins. Very, very simple. And when people have really ugly, painful shoulders, we can get them moving at speeds and loads that are appropriate. And then that thing automatically starts to open up.
