Hey all - here’s quick story from co-creator of Movement Logic, @sarahcourtdpt, about her experience with frozen shoulder:
.
“Full disclosure: I've never seen the movie Frozen (insert shudder/gasp of horror) - but I still know that "Let It Go" song (and if I just put it back in your head after you had finally rid yourself of it, I apologize). I am, however, extremely familiar with the joy of frozen shoulder (and I'm guessing that a few of you are as well).
.
Technically speaking, frozen shoulder (or its official name, adhesive capsulitis) is a condition where the connective tissue of the shoulder joint tightens in a way that not only limits your range of motion, but also makes that limited range super duper painful.

Before I got the diagnosis from the orthopedic specialist, all I knew was that my shoulder hurt in kind of very specific and very weird ways. The highlight was reaching into the back seat of my car to pick up my heavy backpack - and then a pain so intense, I had to sit and hold my shoulder and rock in place for 10 minutes before I could lift my arm again to actually start the car.

There's no real 'fix' for frozen shoulder, but it's the one pathology that we've included in our new shoulders tutorial, because a) the kind of exercises that you need to do mostly involve long held static stretches, and b) since it's such a different approach than the rest of the tutorial, we wanted to make sure you got the full picture of options when it comes to the care and feeding of your shoulders!

Want to learn more? Our tutorial gives you a movement-based approach to working with clients who have an array of shoulder needs.

Along with musculoskeletal anatomy review and up-to-date pain science, you will acquire a progression of corrective exercise techniques for clients who want to improve their shoulder strength and mobility, get out of their poor movement habits, or progress safely and appropriately to a pull-up or push-up!

But hurry… the tutorial is only available to purchase until October 26th!

Have you ever had your shoulder make a weird clicking noise when you move it around?
.
Have you (or has anyone else) ever been able to tell you why?
.
Or have you just lived with it, knew something was off, but figured there was nothing to do until it got a lot worse?

As movement practitioners, we can’t diagnose shoulder dysfunction, but we CAN empower ourselves and our students with the knowledge to help the shoulder work better, which can reduce those strange noises, and also help out with posture and pain.

On that note, we’re thrilled to announce that the @movementlogictutorials Shoulders Tutorial is available! It’s our ~3 hour online workshop that will teach you proper care and feeding of your shoulders.

With this tutorial, you will:

Learn a movement-based approach to working with clients who have an array of shoulder concerns, or who simply want to get stronger and more flexible through the whole shoulder girdle.

Acquire a progression of exercises that explore wrist and hand function, scapular control, end range strength and stability of the shoulder, and the required strength and functionality to perform the two most basic shoulder movements: pushing and pulling! These exercises can also easily be introduced into any movement class.

Review musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how the shoulder integrates with the neck and trunk.

Study up-to-date, biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs around shoulder positions and movements – and how we incorrectly emphasize position over function
And once you buy it, it’s yours to watch and review forever!
