Dr. Joe Damiani - TMJ, Head & Neck Specialist on Instagram: "PART 1: Do you have rounded shoulders? Typically along with this you may notice your head comes forward or your back is a little hunched. Maybe you also experienced neck tension, headaches or jaw pain? But then again, you don’t have to experience any of that, but you can still have rounded shoulders. Some people want to get out of pain while others just want to look normal and not like a gorilla. There are a few areas of the body we have to look at specifically the glenohumeral, joint, a.k.a. shoulder, joint, the scapula, a.k.a. shoulder blade and the thoracic spine, a.k.a. upper back. We also need to look down the chain to the hips and core as well. If you can take a systematic approach, balancing out the restrictions or tigh

Michelle Edmison on Instagram: "Continuing our discussion of OPENING this area and releasing tension ... .... this is an FANTASTIC option. Why? Because it is a combination of strength & flexibility. There are lots of people stretching out there but you don’t OWN IT util you add STRENGTH to it Want to feel young? Relive tension? Improve physical longevity improve movement efficiency? Posture? Ribcage, shoulder and neck mobility. I LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE Side Lying spinal twist with Single arm press My members got a taste of it in one of our strength classes - Eccentrics for the win. Now, you get to try it. Pro tips ✅ stay stacked. The tension in the front is what allows for ribcage expansion and unlocks rotation. The block is not an ornament. SQUEEZE IT. It will help you stay stacked.
BACK PAIN🔹️NECK PAIN🔹️MOBILITY on Instagram: "⬇️ Save yourself a workout for scoliosis. 1️⃣ S-Rotation. Asynchronous rotation with both hands. Try to relax the spine so that it bends to the right and left and resembles the letter S. If you rotate only with your hands, then this is wrong. Do this exercise in front of a mirror. 20x2 2️⃣ T-rotation. Tilt and turn of the thoracic spine. Attention! Do not move your lower back, as the purpose of the exercise is to increase mobility in the thoracic region. 20x2 3️⃣ Extension. Eliminate any movement in the lumbar region, try to do it slowly for the best result. The movement of the arms adds stress to the back muscles. 10x3 4️⃣ Mobility of one scapula. Attention! The arm should be straight and the axis of posture should be straight too. This
Michelle Edmison on Instagram: "My last few posts have all been about RELEASING that chronic tension that closes in our shoulders and disrupts our posture, core breathing… Even our pelvic floor. ⚠️ But… You don’t OWN this new range until you strengthen it. . Teach your body and brain how to access it.. This technique is perfect for that. Shoulders are closing in FAST in our modern world of screens, chairs and stress. This goes WAY BEYOND compromising posture and shoulder mobility. It 100% disrupts your : ✅ breathing and ribcage mechanics which will get you stuck in your sympathetic nervous system increasing anxiety. BIG DEAL. ✅ your arm swing. This can make you feel like a BRICK when walking, running, etc and compromises balance, freedom of movement and honestly can lead to hip pr
Squat University on Instagram: "A proper evaluation for shoulder pain includes seeing if one shoulder is sitting different than the other. While it’s not always directly linked to the injury, it can be for some. Today you’ll see an example of what could lead to one shoulder sitting lower than the other as a cause of pain. . Shout out @sadiecrowell for the opening stitched video & @muscleandmotion for the amazing anatomy graphics."

Katie St.Clair - CSCS, CPT on Instagram: "Don’t be alarmed if your shoulders are uneven, it’s a natural asymmetry. It’s only a problem if you are struggling with range of motion, have irritation, or have to use other adaptations to allow for your shoulders to move the way they should. In this pattern I discuss why we usually see a limitation in internal rotation, adduction and extension on the right and external rotation, abduction and flexion on the left. If these limitations lead to pain, niggles or just frustration then working on regaining a bit more symmetry can be really helpful. And remember, it’s not a shoulder problem it’s a rib cage problem so addressing the scapular or humeral position may help but it won’t get to the root cause. #shouldermobility #shoulderimpingement #s
Katie St.Clair - CSCS, CPT on Instagram: "Your lats aren’t just force producers when pulling… They assist in rotation, gait, respiration, and coordination of our posterior sling. If they become chronically shortened due to joint position or from not working them at their full length or they make it harder for us to inhale into our backside we can develop compensation in many areas because of the many attachment points. They can contribute to issues at: The Shoulder The rib cage The SIJ The Pelvis The Hip… I’m sending out a 5 exercise series in my next newsletter to get stronger, optimize length, and love better that is focused around the lats. #latissimusdorsi #shoulderimpingement #hipimpingement #sij #sijointdysfunction #backpain #thoracicmobility #thoracolumbarfascia"
Coach J on Instagram: "Use these 4 exercises to strengthen and loosen up your shoulders. Improve your posture and range of motion. Which in turn will reduce shoulder and neck pain you may be experiencing! #shoulderexercise #shoulderstretch #homefitnessworkouts . . . Repost @hayleyverafitness The YTWL exercise is a series of movements designed to strengthen the smaller stabilizing muscles around the shoulder, particularly the rotator cuff, and improve scapular mobility. Each letter—Y, T, W, and L—represents a different arm position, mimicking the shape of those letters.⁣ Y: Raise your arms overhead in a “Y” shape while squeezing your shoulder blades together. This movement targets the lower trapezius and helps improve shoulder extension and overhead mobility.⁣ ⁣ T: With arms extended to
Squat University on Instagram: "Need more shoulder mobility? Sometimes, we can improve mobility with STRENGTH movements!🤯 Today you’ll learn about a method called the contract-relax PNF stretch that uses a muscle contraction to begin! .

BACK PAIN🔹️NECK PAIN🔹️MOBILITY on Instagram: "Save these exercises for back pain relief. ☝🏻 One of the most common types of back pain is discomfort under or near the scapula. This often happens due to imbalanced muscle activity. For instance, frequent slouching can overwork the muscles that lift the scapula while leaving the shoulder rotator muscles underutilized. 🙏🏻 To address this, you can try the “eight” exercise, which engages all the scapular muscles. 🙌🏻 Picture 4 fixed points in a cross-like formation and rotate your arms between these points while maintaining the axis of the cross. 🔥 This single exercise activates all the muscles! 🫶🏻 Enjoyed the video? Don’t forget to like it. 2) Shoulder and scapula stretching exercise: ☝🏻 This stretch targets: 1️⃣ The rotator cuf
Squat University on Instagram: "The secret you haven’t been told about your stiff neck … it’s very common the neck is NOT the problem but only the site of symptoms! This is why a proper screen / evaluation for any injury is key. If you go to a professional and they just crack your neck without first fully assessing your body - you’re at the wrong person. . Shout out @muscleandmotion for the amazing anatomy graphics shown today."
Dr. Joe Damiani - TMJ, Head & Neck Specialist on Instagram: "Comment the word ‘NECK’ on this video if you need a structured plan to fix Headaches, Neck or Jaw Pain. Do you experience neck and head pain and it seems to worsen while or after using your arms? This may be during exercise or just day-to-day tasks, such as lifting, carrying or reaching. Well, one of the reasons I find this to occur is because of weak rotator cuff muscles that don’t know how to stabilize the glenohumeral joint, a.k.a. shoulder joint. When these muscles don’t perform their job, the bigger muscles in the area like the upper trapezius, deltoids, rhomboids, levator scapulae and some others have to make up for this or overcompensate…. The problem is these muscles are designed to do other roles, such as higher levels
