SODO chiropractor – Hip Pain Mobility
I find that internal rotation of the hip is a difficult position to achieve, particularly if the patient is struggling with knee pain. This modification of the Tactical Frog mobility (horrendous name) supports the knee with the contact on the floor. Try it out.

The hollow body position is painful for many lower back injury progressions.  This partial baby get up is a great lateralization.  It also has a functional advantage for unilateral applications such as prepping for kettlebell or dumbbell snatches.  Give it a try.  Try holding 1 minute on/ 30 seconds off in each direction for 3 rounds.  Make sure to keep those feet off of the ground.  Balance your weight on your trochanter and only use the support of the elbow and scapula as much as is necessary.

Shoulder Doctor in Seattle Impingement Syndrome

By Skylar Pond | August 26, 2014

It has been a long road of earning and recovering from my own shoulder injuries as an athlete before graduating from school and becoming a shoulder doctor in Seattle myself.  The next few posts will highlight several of the rehab tools that have helped me along the way.

Shoulder impingement syndrome is common following minor inflammatory injuries in and around the rotator cuff of the shoulder.  When the subscapularis muscle fires late due to past or present injury, the window through which the rotator cuff muscles travel becomes smaller and the impingement grows more severe.  This series is an effective treatment and preventative series to activate the subscapularis.
