Top 5 Incorrect Pain Causes

Does posture, weak muscles, tight muscles, misaligned joints and compensation really cause pain? I am not a pain expert but I do not think so. I am still trying to understand pain as much as everybody else so read up more about pain here. Take home message: Pain is a complex subject; it is multifactorial and it is still widely in research. What we can do is encourage our clients to move pain free and offer movement variability. #Pain #Concept #Exercise

Clinical Pearl for Shoulder Flexion

Not sure if this is a clinical pearl but it has managed to help improve Sh flexion for two of my pts. Both of them had limited post op Sh flexion . They were mainly able to lift up till about 160 degrees. Their limitation was probably caused by over- activation of their traps.

Below is a picture showing the difference in ROM (Sorry for my bad photography skills) Wit

Back to Basics 2 for Lower Back Pain

I have been seeing a variety of LBP patients for some time now. Most of them would demonstrate a DN/DP when assessed for MSE or MSF. When they show a lack of Lx mobility during the assessment, I would ask them to perform the Mckenzie exs or Repeated Extension in Lying (REIL) for about 10 repetitions. More often than not, their ability to extend or flex their spine would improve by an average of 30%! Here's a video of the exercise: The fact that they could regain mobility with

Thoracic Mobility Exercise

So, this is a HEP for those who wants to maintain their progress following their Cervico-thoracic or Thoracic manipulation. Here's an example! This exercise is ideal for those who have a stiff middle back or those who have limited movements around their Shs. Position your hips and knees in a half kneeling position and maintain it at around 90 degrees. Whilst you rotate, keep the movements around your hip at minimal. #Thoracic #Mobility #Exercise
