Starting up some new programming as suggested by a patient of mine. Reminding me of the days we used to lift in the school gym together. Even though we may all have our own challenges now we can still push each other up and grow from the struggle. @hk.rehab@philio10@geotran32 @mpchiropractic @primewayoflife (@get_repost)・・・Embrace the struggle, let it make you stronger

« This is the Hawkin&;s kennedy test – it&;s an orthopaedic test designed to be coupled with a few other tests in order to test for subacromial impingement – often coupled with the painful arc and an infraspinatus test.To try this – keep the upper arm parallel to the floor, and rotate the forearm inwards towards the ground, you can do this at various angles as you move the arm across the body.Either try this yourself or have someone try this on you. If it hurts you may have some sub-acromial impingement! Ask yourself: Do I do a lot of repetitive overhead movements?Does it hurt when I throw right in the front point of the shoulder?Do I avoid certain movements because it hurts or feels awkward?Do I favor one side over the other because of this?Book an assessment with a professional as there are plenty of factors that can contribute to this. To name a few: Weak rotator cuff musclesTight rotator cuff musclesImproper glenohumeral rhythmPoor movement patternsThoracic spine limitationsSICK scapula

Patient of mine working as a machine operator with tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis on BOTH arms!Treated him using Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue ARTWrist and elbow magicEccentric exerciseThis is the best I could ask for from this fine gentleman.Some of you climbers and dodgeballers get some of this elbow pain. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. »
