“Look Forward To Festivities Without neck Pain!”

4 BASIC SHOULDER TESTS

Does your neck ache towards the end of the day? Do you often end up with nagging headaches? While you might think it’s only due to stress, it may also be a result of your daily posture. When we use our arms throughout the day, the shoulder muscles get tired. This leads us to use our neck muscles as a substitute. A sure sign of this is when you notice your shoulders rising up closer to your ears. You may also find your spine rounding forward. The sooner our shoulder muscles fatigue, and the more rounded forward we end up, the sooner we notice headaches and neck pain. (continued inside) LOOK INSIDE FOR A FREE NECK PAIN SCREENING!

“Shoulders Feeling Weak At The Desk?”

4 BASIC SHOULDER TESTS

Think this might be you? Here are 4 BASIC TESTS to try at the end of the day! STARTING POSITION: Sit at your workstation, your home computer, or the dinner table in your normal posture: 1. Try to raise both arms up in front and continue overhead without moving your spine. If you can’t get full shoulder motion or have pain, you probably end up slouched without realizing it. 2. Try to roll your shoulders down and back without moving your spine. If you feel this is difficult to do, your muscles are probably keeping your shoulders elevated. 3. Raise your arms up and out to the side like a “jumping jack” without moving your spine. If you have pain, you probably end up slouched without realizing it. 4. Try to klasp your hands behind your back. Now raise your arms up behind you. If you are unable to raise them very far, you have limited shoulder, spine, or chest mobility. NOW REPEAT THE TESTS while siting up straight and allow the spine to move. Compare the difference in your shoulder motions or pain. If you suffer from neck pain, headaches or shoulder pain, don’t let it linger on and cause more damage. Call us today to speak with a physical therapist, or come on in for a free consultation.

My right arm has full motion!

“Before therapy, my right arm had limited use due to a shoulder injury. Since therapy, my right arm has full motion and nearly full strength. I am able to do yard work and activities I need to do day-to-day. I am very pleased with APT and will recommend them to anyone that is in pain. Thanks!” - J.P. I am able to do everything that I wasn’t able to before! “Before therapy, I had very limited movement in my arm. I couldn’t shampoo my hair or push myself out of the bathtub. Since therapy, I am much improved. I am not limited on daily activities and am able to do everything that I

wasn’t able to before. Thanks APT.” S.R. My pain level is at a zero!

“Before therapy, my shoulder pain was at a level 8. I couldn’t sleep, had difficulty getting out of a chair and I could not reach or lift away from my body. Since therapy, my pain level is at a zero 99% of the time. I’m sleeping well again and able to complete my daily tasks. Advanced PT was always willing to work around my work schedule.” - D.G.

We’re Here To Help Your Neck & Shoulders

Sometimes simple home interventions are enough to treat cervical disc disease, in which an abnormality in one or more discs that lie between the vertebrae cause neck pain. Often, though, it helps to see a physical therapist that can treat abnormalities, show you how to stretch and strengthen your neck and vertebrae, improve your posture, and prevent neck pain from recurring. In the majority of people, certain exercises and manipulations used by these health care providers can help relieve discomfort and restore movement. Of course, self-testing at home is an imperfect way to determine if your headaches and neck pain are coming from poor posture or other shoulder issues. During physical therapy, you will practice a range of exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles that support your neck. You’ll also learn how to improve your posture and range of motion. To help you learn proper postures, your physical therapist might have you stand in front of a mirror while exercising so that you can see your mistakes and correct them. They will show you where your body has limited movement, which may be causing your problems. Handling any problem sooner rather than later, leads to better results and preventing long-term damage, such as arthritis. We welcome you to schedule a visit with us for a more complete evaluation. We’re offering a no-cost shoulder and neck screening to help get you on the road to better health and less pain. Give Advanced Physical Therapy a call today to talk with your therapist.
