Shoulder pain is very common, in fact, research shows 47% of people will develop shoulder pain annually and 70% will have shoulder pain at some point in their lifetime. Causes of shoulder pain are broad, and can include arthritis, torn muscles or tendons, damaged cartilage, overuse injuries, bone spurs, swollen irritated bursa, adhesive capsulitis (aka frozen shoulder), referred pain from a pinched nerve in the neck, and even heart attacks.  Shoulder pain can be debilitating, limiting the ability to function easily and comfortably, such as sleeping, driving, using a computer, getting dressed, and reaching overhead. Acute and chronic pain in the shoulder can occur for many reasons, depending on what tissue is irritated. Injuries to the shoulder are often short-lived and heal quickly. This is often the case with a minor sprain from overuse, like gardening, carrying something heavy, or after an awkward movement.

I hear it every day in the clinic and it always makes me chuckle. But I'm here to let you know - you don't have a rotary cup. We have a rotator cuff and it's pretty important. Even if a physical therapist determines your clinical presentation has the sign/symptoms of a rotator cuff tear or tendonopathy, that doesn't mean surgery needs to be your end game. There are many exercises that will strengthen and help to correct the muscle imbalances that are found by the physical therapist. ---------------- Each podcast is a part of The How to Move Without Pain Programs To learn more about how The How to Move Without Pain Programs can help you  #1: Lower your pain and get back to your life #2: Have a deeper understanding of your body, trusting yourself to know  which exercises to do and how to do them to strengthen your muscles and joints #3: Have the confidence to know what you can do on your own, and when to see a specialist - empowering you to help yourself Go to HowtoMoveWithoutPain.com Thank you so much for checking out this episode of The How to Move Without Pain Podcast.

You've heard it before - ”use it or lose it" - that goes for muscle flexibility too. In order for your muscle length to improve, or even stay at its current length, you need to develop a consistent routine. You brush your teeth every day, it's time you stretch every day too. Incorrect stretching can lead to muscle strains which could be more detrimental than not stretching at all. Flexibility is easy to achieve when completed regularly. Do your muscles, joints, and really your whole body a favor and start a stretching routine today. -------------------- Each podcast is a part of The How to Move Without Pain Programs To learn more about how The How to Move Without Pain Programs can help you  #1: Lower your pain and get back to your life #2: Have a deeper understanding of your body, trusting yourself to know  which exercises to do and how to do them to strengthen your muscles and joints #3: Have the confidence to know what you can do on your own, and when to see a specialist - empowering you to help yourself Go to HowtoMoveWithoutPain.com Thank you so much for checking out this episode of The How to Move Without Pain Podcast.

The difference between a sprain and a strain is what structure is involved in the injury. A sprain is an injury to a ligament, which are the bands of tissue that connect two bones together.  A strain, on the other hand,  involves an injury to a muscle and/or a tendon, which is a band of tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone  Regardless of the structure injured, a strain, or sprain, proper management is the best way to get back to your normal activity and lifestyle.  More severe strains and sprains may need additional time to heal and may benefit from physical therapy to help you regain strength, range of motion, and normal walking or mobility. _____________________________ Each podcast is a part of The How to Move Without Pain Programs To learn more about how The How to Move Without Pain Programs can help you  #1: Lower your pain and get back to your life #2: Have a deeper understanding of your body, trusting yourself to know  which exercises to do and how to do them to strengthen your muscles and joints #3: Have the confidence to know what you can do on your own, and when to see a specialist - empowering you to help yourself   Go to HowtoMoveWithoutPain.com   Sick of imagining what it would be like to get your work done without the headaches and neck pain?  Learn about Joint Health and Understand why you hurt so much while you work at your computer or in the car - Head to The Posture Fix Program for the details   Thank you so much for checking out this episode of The How to Move Without Pain Podcast.

Joint stiffness occurs for many reasons as we age.  Although all of this may sound scary, it doesn't have to result in pain or limited mobility.  OA, for example, is a normal process that our joints go through as we age, but only about 10% of people will have pain with it.  Other arthritic conditions are often alleviated with proper management and activity.  If you are experiencing any symptoms of arthritis, talk to your health care provider to see what you can do to preserve your lifestyle and continue enjoying all the activities you want! ___________________________________ Each podcast is a part of The How to Move Without Pain Programs To learn more about how The How to Move Without Pain Programs can help you  #1: Lower your pain and get back to your life #2: Have a deeper understanding of your body, trusting yourself to know  which exercises to do and how to do them to strengthen your muscles and joints #3: Have the confidence to know what you can do on your own, and when to see a specialist - empowering you to help yourself   Go to HowtoMoveWithoutPain.com   Sick of imagining what it would be like to get your work done without the headaches and neck pain?  Learn about Joint Health and Understand why you hurt so much while you work at your computer or in the car - Head to The Posture Fix Program for the details   Thank you so much for checking out this episode of The How to Move Without Pain Podcast.

Making healthy habits that you will stick with is possible. Trying something new is pretty easy, but changing it into a habit is difficult. And making it a change for life that is an automatic part of your day or week takes consistency, work and conscious effort to achieve. Studies show it takes anywhere from 18 to 254 days for a person to form a new habit and an average of 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic behavior. Which when you think about it is an amazing amount of time to make a permanent change, since humans are creatures of habit. _______________ Each podcast is a part of The How to Move Without Pain Programs To learn more about how The How to Move Without Pain Programs can help you  #1: Lower your pain and get back to your life #2: Have a deeper understanding of your body, trusting yourself to know  which exercises to do and how to do them to strengthen your muscles and joints #3: Have the confidence to know what you can do on your own, and when to see a specialist - empowering you to help yourself Go to HowtoMoveWithoutPain.com Sick of imagining what it would be like to get your work done without the headaches and neck pain?  Learn about Joint Health and Understand why you hurt so much while you work at your computer or in the car - Head to The Posture Fix Program for the details Thank you so much for checking out this episode of The How to Move Without Pain Podcast.
