Description
As a Physical Therapist for over 25 years, I have treated hundreds of shoulder injuries and I would like to share my knowledge with this class. Although shoulder injuries are, unfortunately, very common, they can be complex to effectively treat. Posture, emotional health, trigger points, rotator cuff weakness, poor breathing patterns, and muscle tightness can all play significant roles in shoulder dysfunction and pain. Since no 2 shoulder injuries are alike, I have created 3 levels of exercises and self treatments based on the severity of your shoulder injury. My goal with this class is to not only educate you about your shoulder and help you feel better, but to to help you establish a long-term, sustainable program for continued shoulder health and function.
