At Core Dynamics we see a ton of shoulder issues in our clients. We put all of our clients through the Functional Movement Screen( a 7-point movement screen which basically evaluates the way you move) to help us determine what may be the underlying problem and address it with very specific;
1. Soft tissue work(foam roller, lacrosse ball, tennis ball). This addresses scar tissue and trigger points which can not only cause a lot of pain but will in fact limit your ability to move correctly through full range of motion. The slightest bit of discomfort can effect proper movement patterns.
2. Mobility and flexibility exercises that target the tight, over active muscles.
3. Strengthen the weak, under active muscles. Pain and dysfunction will often lead to some muscles to get weak. When we determine which ones are not doing their job, we use very specific exercises to target them.
One of the biggest mistake fitness enthusiasts or even athletes will make is they try to “work around” the pain in hopes that is will “just get better”. I am here to tell you now that it won’t likely get better on its own. In fact, if you keep trying to workout with pain and ignoring the underlying problem you WILL wind up worse of than you are and possibly set yourself up for a trip to the surgeon.
Wouldn’t you like to be able to attack those exercises that really command results (ie. deadlifts, squats, presses and rows) with zero pain, excellent stability and mobility? Well of course you would. It will help you get you your goals free of pain and injury.
This is just one of the many things that we do at Core that separates us from the rest. You will not be doing an exercise if your body is not moving correctly to accomplish the task, and if you are in pain…forget it!
Craig and Jim show you a bit of the soft tissue work that I mentioned, to address Craig’s shoulder mobility issue and some trigger points he is dealing with because of it.
If you would like to schedule a FMS with one of our coaches give us a call at 631.6726.6049 or email info@coredynamicsgym.com
