Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Shoulder pain doesn't have to sideline smart training. We walk you through a clean, confidence-building process for working with a 50-year-old client who wants a full-body session with an upper-body focus, starting with a conversation that actually matters: what success looks like today and in six months. From there, we blend a tight shoulder screen with targeted soft tissue and a practical strength plan that respects biology and builds belief.You'll hear exactly how we ask about pain—acute or chronic, what flares it, what calms it—and then run quick checks: humeral flexion to the wall, cross-body reach, hand-behind-back lift-off, and a gentle scaption break test. When red flags are clear, we use focused holds on upper traps, pec minor, and infraspinatus, retesting immediately so the client feels a real change. That opens the door to a shoulder-friendly program: incline dumbbell pressing for range and comfort, face pulls for scapular control, and planks to connect trunk and shoulder. We balance it with pronated dumbbell rows, smart push-up progressions to restore scap motion, and accessories like lateral raises that won't rob your main lifts of tension.To tie it together, we lean on the CCA framework—core pattern, core pattern, accessory—cycling through three rounds of eight to twelve reps, adjusting loads for training age. We finish with landmine work: squats for lower-body integration, a reachy landmine press for shoulder mechanics, and anti-rotation to lock in control. Throughout, we model trainer engagement that goes beyond an iPad: tactile cues, spotting with intent, and coaching presence that justifies the investment.Finally, we share a straightforward way to sell without the salesy vibe: recap wins, offer two clear package options, and handle objections with calm questions—not pressure. Not ready to commit? Keep the relationship alive with useful resources, check-ins, and a comped follow-up tied to a review or referral. If this approach helps you or your clients move better and feel stronger, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a coach who could use a sharper shoulder plan.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

If you've tried everything for headaches or migraines and still feel stuck, this episode is for you.In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explains why evaluating both the neck and shoulders is critical for long-term headache and migraine relief—and why so many treatment approaches fall short.You'll learn why the upper neck (C1–C3) is the most common source of head and facial pain, how restoring movement—not just reducing inflammation—can calm pain signals, and why focusing only on imaging, injections, or alignment often leads to short-term or incomplete results.Dr. Taves also breaks down how shoulder dysfunction can pull the neck back into tension, triggering recurring headaches and migraines, even after initial relief. This episode walks through the clinical reasoning behind addressing the neck first for pain reduction, then the shoulders for lasting results—so you can move away from constant flare-ups and dependence on medication.If you're tired of chasing symptoms and want a clearer path forward, this episode provides a framework for understanding what's really driving your headaches and migraines.Novera: Headache Center

Most people blame posture for their neck and shoulder pain, but research shows the real root cause is often hormones, not mechanics. In this episode, Ben explains how cortisol, thyroid hormones, sex hormones, insulin, and even growth hormone can lock your muscles into chronic tension and why most doctors miss these connections. You'll learn how stress hormones alter pain pathways, increase inflammation, and create tight traps, stiff necks, and burning shoulders. Ben breaks down a simple daily Cortisol Calm Protocol using breathwork, post-meal walking, a no-stimulation hour, and gratitude to quickly shift your body out of fight-or-flight. He then exposes the deep link between an underactive thyroid and muscle aches, frozen shoulder, fatigue, and chronic stiffness — plus which full thyroid panel to request from your doctor (not just TSH). Next, he explains why women 40–60 experience sharp increases in joint pain during perimenopause and menopause due to changes in estrogen that affect lubrication, cartilage, strength, and inflammation. You'll also hear why people with insulin resistance or diabetes are five times more likely to develop frozen shoulder. High insulin creates stiff connective tissue and slows healing. Ben gives practical metabolic strategies: lower carbs, test fasting insulin, walk after meals, strength train, and use intermittent fasting. The episode closes with the overlooked role of deep sleep and growth hormone in tissue repair. Poor sleep dramatically reduces recovery, while fasting and strength training boost growth hormone naturally. FREE GUIDE: How To Lose 1 Pound Of Fat Per Day HERE -https://bit.ly/48AYCfC

Can an acute injury, like a sudden shoulder subluxation, still have visceral or neural influences worth treating? In this episode, I unpack why even the most straightforward orthopedic cases often have deeper layers that shape pain, recovery, and movement quality.I share a case of a collegiate softball athlete whose chronic subluxations suddenly flared after a rough bout of COVID and why her lack of progress with rehab made perfect sense once I assessed her through a whole-organism lens view. You'll hear how lung restrictions, altered thoracic mobility, and neural tension were driving poor scapular mechanics that her strengthening program could never overcome. A few targeted treatments changed her symptoms instantly and shifted her entire rehab trajectory.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why acute pain presentations often include visceral and CNS influences, even when trauma is obvious• How post-infection thoracic mobility changes can alter scapular mechanics and create instability patterns• How to differentiate true tissue instability from altered neural output• Practical ways to influence supraclavicular, phrenic, and brachial plexus input when local loading isn't toleratedThis episode will help you sharpen your lens for the cases that look simple on the surface but demand deeper, more connected reasoning underneath.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Episode 16: Why The Shoulder Comes LastEpisode 69: Why Your Shoulder Treatments Might Not Be EnoughChange your approach to treating shoulder pain and dysfunction with my course - Never Treat The Shoulder FirstLearn the LTAP® In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Over the past decade, the term rotator cuff–related shoulder pain (RCRSP) has gained traction as a more accurate, patient-centered way to describe shoulder pain. In this episode, Dr Amy McDevitt (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department, University of Colorado) joins Dan Chapman and Marquis Sanabrais to unpack why shifting from structural labels like impingement or tendinopathy toward RCRSP can improve both communication and care. They discuss how imaging often fails to match symptoms, why language matters for patient engagement, and how clinicians can explain shoulder pain without over-pathologizing. Take home messages: 1. RCRSP reflects the multifactorial nature of shoulder pain, biological, mechanical, and psychosocial. 2. Clear and non-anatomic terminology helps patients understand and buy into treatment. 3. Future research should clarify mechanisms behind exercise and refine subgroups within RCRSP. ------------------------------ RESOURCES The case for using "rotator cuff-related shoulder pain" in practice: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.13405

Yet, the scapula (shoulder blade) plays a critical role in almost every movement your shoulder makes. When it doesn't move, tilt, or rotate properly, pain and dysfunction quickly follow.In this episode of The Soft Tissue OT Podcast, we dive deep into the connection between the scapula and shoulder pain — exploring how poor scapular control, positioning, or strength can be the missing piece behind ongoing shoulder issues.You'll learn:

Shoulder pain may show up as bursitis, rotator cuff issues, arthritis, or frozen shoulder—but what if the deeper driver is how much you're carrying for everyone else? In this episode, Heather McKean reframes shoulder symptoms through a Mind Change lens: the shoulders as the “seat of responsibility,” where unexamined roles, people-pleasing, control, suppressed anger, resentment, guilt, and fear of saying no can harden into pain and even immobility. You'll hear a powerful case study (“Elena”) that maps childhood roots of over-responsibility into adult patterns, a practical medical overview, and how left vs. right shoulder messages can differ. Heather then offers clear next steps—rewiring subconscious scripts, practicing loving “no's,” auditing which responsibilities are truly yours, and using forgiveness to release resentment—so your body can stop protesting and start recovering.What we covered in this episode:

This episode starts with a couple of stories that probably only I care about, like the lawsuit over Seattle's homeless shelter hotels and yet another IT failure that managed to make life harder for the people caught in its web. But then the show turns inward.I take you through the long story of my right shoulder, which goes all the way back to Navy sports in the 1980s, took a bad turn with a fall in 2018, and now has doctors listing off arthritis, cartilage tears, and tendon problems like they are reciting baseball stats. The plain English translation? It hurts, it is weak, and it makes life a whole lot more complicated.Surgery might be on the horizon, and that means five weeks of forced immobility. So today's show is about pain, persistence, and trying not to lose sight of what matters most.

Episode Summary: Trapezius Myalgia – Understanding Upper Trap Pain and How to Treat It In this episode of the Rehab Science podcast, Dr. Tom Walters, DPT, breaks down one of the most common sources of neck and shoulder discomfort—trapezius myalgia. Often experienced as persistent tightness or aching in the upper trapezius muscle, this condition affects individuals who spend long periods sitting, working at a computer, or holding static postures under stress. Dr. Walters discusses the underlying anatomy and biomechanics of the trapezius, highlighting how postural overload, fatigue, and nervous system sensitization contribute to chronic discomfort. He explains why passive strategies like stretching alone may be insufficient, and emphasizes the role of progressive resistance training in improving muscle function and reducing symptoms. The episode concludes with practical movement strategies, rehab principles, and key behavioral tips for lasting relief. Resources

Understanding its origins and the strategic interventions available can significantly improve patient outcomes. Here, we delve into the approach to diagnosing and treating shoulder pain, based on an insightful discussion between two seasoned practitioners exploring the anatomy and pathology of shoulder complications. Recognizing the Root Cause of Shoulder Pain Shoulder pain often masks its true source. It might manifest as discomfort between the shoulder blades, often misleading practitioners to consider muscle strain as the primary cause. However, deeper exploration usually reveals that the disc is a more likely culprit. In cases where a patient describes pain akin to "a knife between the shoulder blades," the immediate focus should be on discs 4-5 and 5-6. A strategic approach targets the discs to alleviate the most severe pain, followed by nerve treatment, which is crucial in reducing persistent discomfort. The Transition from Frequency to Strategy in Treatment Treatment has evolved significantly over the past two decades. The transition from a frequency-based to a strategy-focused approach reflects a deeper understanding gained from years of practice and evolving patient outcomes. This involves assessing shoulder mechanics holistically and addressing sequelae like nerve irritation and muscle imbalance. In chronic and acute cases, the intervention sequence becomes critical: reducing nerve irritation, restoring proper mechanics, and ensuring the subscapularis and pec minor are addressed to prevent further injury. The Role of the Environment and Lifestyle in Pain Management Environmental and lifestyle factors contribute profoundly to shoulder health. Misalignment in everyday activities or prolonged stress due to poor posture can exacerbate shoulder pain and complicate recovery. It's vital for practitioners to investigate these daily life contributors—such as ergonomics during computer use or mundane activities like lifting objects. Encouraging patients to maintain activity logs can help identify subtle but impactful triggers; practitioners can then guide them to modify such activities to prevent flare-ups. Comprehensive, Collaborative Care Collaboration in care can't be overstated. For chronic conditions that stubbornly resist resolution, a comprehensive team approach can uncover the unseen nuances of the patient's condition. It's about combining FSM with other therapeutic modalities to address not only the mechanical but also the nutritional and emotional aspects affecting patients' conditions. Practitioners are encouraged to embrace a collaborative model where knowledge and treatment strategies are shared and integrated across disciplines to optimize patient recovery and reduce recurrence. Empowering Patients Through Education Patient education is indispensable in managing shoulder pain. Practitioners should communicate clearly about how seemingly trivial actions can have cascading effects on their condition. Understanding that no magical cure exists but rather a pathway to gradual recovery helps demystify the process and empowers patients. Encouraging self-awareness and providing them with the tools to recognize early symptoms and lifestyle triggers are essential steps toward sustaining their wellness. Building a Decades-Long Legacy With this strategic and compassionate approach, FSM and related treatments promise an enduring legacy in modern medicine. Bridging the gap between frequency-specific therapies and comprehensive care strategies continues to expand, offering medical practitioners robust methods to enhance patient outcomes. By continuously updating their knowledge and collaborating across specialties, practitioners can ensure that they are not only solving but also learning from each new case they encounter.

Send us a textIf you think joint pain is just part of getting older… think again. In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Bailey - founder of Avita Yoga and author of the upcoming book Mobility for Life: Healthy Joints, Strong Bones, and a Peaceful Mind - to talk about a radically different approach to joint health, healing, and pain relief after 50. After a devastating ski accident at 50 left Jeff with a wrecked hip and grim medical predictions, Jeff turned his pain into purpose by developing a practice that helps restore mobility and joint function - without surgery, without extreme stretching, and without feeling like a pretzel in spandex. We cover everything from why stretching isn't the answer, to how compression actually heals your joints, to what you should be doing right now to bulletproof your hips, shoulders, knees, and spine for the long haul. Whether you're dealing with joint pain, facing a possible replacement, or just want to stay strong, mobile, and independent for decades to come - this one's for you.

Researchers are increasingly partnering with patients, clinicians and others who use research to design, conduct, report and disseminate research studies. Today we hear about a conversation that involved over 600 patients, clinicians and carers, who were supported to nominate their top priorities for research on shoulder pain. Kristian Lyng (physiotherapst, PhD student at Aalborg University's Department of Health Science and Technology, and Center for General Practice) led the work as part of his PhD research looking at interventions for shared decision-making in collaboration with patients with subacromial pain syndrome. Kristian discusses the challenges and opportunities in translating research to clinical practice, and the benefits to researchers of engaging patients and the public in doing musculoskeletal research. ------------------------------ RESOURCES Research priorities for atraumatic shoulder pain: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.13059 Patients as partners in research - It's the right thing to do: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2019.0106 Help for researchers wanting to engage patients as research partners: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2020.0104 How to talk about compensation with patient partners: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2020.0106 Engaging patients and the public in musculoskeletal research: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2024.12668
The supraspinatus is one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff, originating from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula and inserting onto the greater tubercle of the humerus. Its primary function is to initiate shoulder abduction and contribute to dynamic stability of the glenohumeral joint, particularly by resisting excessive superior translation of the humeral head. Due to its position and role, the supraspinatus is highly susceptible to mechanical compression beneath the acromion, especially in individuals with poor scapular control or altered rotator cuff coordination. Research suggests that supraspinatus tendinopathy and tears are among the most common sources of rotator cuff-related pain, particularly in overhead athletes and older adults. However, not all supraspinatus pathology is symptomatic, emphasizing the importance of assessing strength, movement patterns, and pain reproduction rather than relying solely on imaging findings when determining clinical relevance. Several studies have shown that rotator cuff tears can be observed on MRI when testing people who are asymptomatic (pain-free), which means they may simply be a normal age-related change. However, if you have pain and limited shoulder function and have evidence of a rotator cuff tear or tendinopathy on imaging, then your symptoms and the image may be correlated. Here is one study you might like to read if you want to learn more about this research. When treating supraspinatus tendon tears and tendinopathy, physical therapists focus on pain management, restoring shoulder function, and strengthening the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers. Early rehab emphasizes activity modification, isometric exercises, and gentle mobility work to reduce pain and maintain range of motion. Scapular control exercises help optimize shoulder mechanics, while posterior capsule stretching may be included if tightness contributes to impingement. As symptoms improve, progressive strengthening of the rotator cuff, particularly in external rotation and abduction, helps restore tendon resilience and function. In later rehab stages, eccentric loading, plyometric drills, and functional training are introduced to improve tendon capacity and dynamic stability, especially for individuals returning to overhead activities. Education on load management, proper movement mechanics, and long-term maintenance exercises is essential to prevent recurrence. While partial tears and tendinopathy often respond well to conservative care, full-thickness tears may require surgical consideration, followed by a structured rehabilitation program. Here is a video from my YouTube channel that covers a few exercises that often help people suffering from supraspinatus pain and dysfunction. I hope the tips in this podcast were helpful and you feel better equipped to treat supraspinatus issues! Besides the YouTube video I linked in this episode, my book contains comprehensive programs for the 50 most common orthopedic conditions, including rotator cuff injuries. The programs are broken into three phases and include exercises that can be used to help prevent injuries as well as help you recover from an injury.

Send us a textParsonage-Turner Syndrome can mimic several other shoulder conditions, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment if not properly identified and differentiated.• PTS typically presents with sudden onset of severe shoulder pain lasting 2-3 weeks, often triggered by viruses or vaccinations• Common symptoms include limited active and passive range of motion, weakness, atrophy (especially in deltoids), and sometimes altered sensation• Rotator cuff tears differ by having better passive than active motion and usually having a clear mechanism of injury• Cervical nerve root compression can be distinguished by performing Spurling's test and gentle cervical traction• Adhesive capsulitis has a slower onset than PTS and typically doesn't cause the significant atrophy seen in PTS cases• Diagnostic imaging should be used after thorough clinical examination to confirm suspected diagnosis• EMG/nerve conduction studies are most helpful for confirming PTS after 3-4 weeks of symptoms• Always check for skin changes like pustules or rashes that might indicate shingles, which can cause brachial neuritisJoin us for our upcoming live course on May 31st, 2025 where we'll cover more differential diagnoses like these.

In this week's episode, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver reminisce about everything from Tom Cruise's movie‐star presence to that magical first glimpse of Rachel Ward in Sharky's Machine. They swap hilarious stories of meeting Hollywood icons, compare wrestling fame to NBA stardom, and debate whether an old rumor about Burt Reynolds and Rachel Ward was on the level. Of course, there's plenty of side‐splitting commentary on James Woods, off‐the‐rails conspiracy theories, and unexpected celebrity encounters along the way. As the show takes a reflective turn, Kevin and Sean dig into vivid childhood memories: reading sports magazines by the cereal box, collecting baseball cards with rubber bands, and spending endless weekends immersed in board games and early tabletop sports sims. They talk about that innocent era when Saturday‐morning cartoons were the peak of entertainment and when kids spent half the day in front of an electric football board or rummaging through a shoebox full of cards. With heartfelt nostalgia, they contrast those times with the “always connected” world of today. Meanwhile, the duo finds room for offbeat detours—like unexpected property‐tax talk in Florida and a cameo from Logan Paul's basketball game. Despite the twists, the real heart of the episode is the warmth and humor of two friends sharing stories about simpler days. Kick back, laugh, and get ready for a healthy dose of 11Soft.
