Shoulders- Anula

SHOULDERS TUTORIAL

Let’s be honest, the shoulder is a pretty complicated bunch of joints that we tend to pay little attention to – until it hurts!  In truth, we can recover from injury, or prevent future injury from taking place, with regular care and feeding of our shoulders. What does that look like? Functional and progressive movements that both challenge us to maintain healthy shoulder mobility and strength, and also prepare us for those big shoulder based movements of pushing and pulling (what shoulders are made for!).

In this tutorial you will:
  • Receive close to 3 hours of viewing and practice material
  • 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

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING:

“Hey! I just wanted to say thank you so much for the Shoulders Tutorial (all the tutorials really). There is a woman who has been coming to classes and she has barely moved her left arm for years out of fear (of pain). She had shoulder replacement surgery, went through rehab, was discharged all good and then just stopped moving. I asked if I could meet with her. We went through her exercises together - I helped her slow down, breathe, stop the negative self-talk and helped refine her movement. One week later she came back and was excited to tell me she washed her hair with both hands for the first time in years. She also has hope that will regain pain-free movement of her arm for the first time in years. I had a lot of the knowledge I needed beforehand to help I just lacked the confidence. This tutorial, so specific to the shoulder, all the info in one place helped so much. Thank you!” -Shari Larson, yoga teacher

“Just completed shoulders tutorial and it was amazing! Each of you is articulate, knowledgeable, and practical. I've never had instructors who make complex concepts easy to understand in a way that you three have done. You are truly gifts to the movement field. looked forward to finding the time each day to work through it and can't wait to use the exercises with clients.” -Leslie Danielle West

About Movement Logic
The Movement Logic tutorials aim to enhance your problem-solving skills so you can work more effectively with your students and clients who are injured or in pain.
Become Anatomically and Biomechanically Informed
  • Learn musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how bodies move, adapt, maladapt, get injured, experience pain, and heal
  • Familiarize yourself with common pathologies to better understand the cascade of your body's response to tissue injury, as well as how pain is commonly patterned in response to these injuries
Understand Pain
  • You'll study up-to-date, biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs in order to paint a more accurate picture of the often complicated and counterintuitive behavior of pain
  • The biopsychosocial model is a holistic perspective to pain that looks at the relationship between your biology, your mind, and society, and how those elements together influence your whole body experience of pain
Acquire Teaching Skills
  • You will acquire corrective exercise techniques for helping private clients who have diagnosed injuries as well as those with unspecified pain
  • You'll learn best practices for presenting these corrective exercises in a group class

Demonizing or evangelizing dosage on social media Demonizing or evangelizing dosage on social media is impossible. You’d need a documentary or book for that.

Dosage is the day-in-and-day-out quantity of loads that almost immediately and simultaneously become an individual’s history of loading and also future capacity for loading.

This history/future determines what they can and cannot, should and should not do next.

But it’s not photographable. It’s not fit for a Reel.

❌ and ✅ hot takes on good/bad form and alignment work much better for eyes on.

This binary communication shapes binary thinking.

Meanwhile, what we’re actually seeing is what someone (often an expert) can demonstrate.

What we’re not seeing is their process to get there.

This hot take advice has nothing to say about the tundra of time we all must trudge across to learn, adapt, and change.

Instead, it focuses on the destination ✅ and paints everything that had to happen before it as ❌.

It tells you nothing about who (within their intended audience) is learning, and what their goal is.

At face value, it’s a teacher performing their preference.
🚩If you haven’t changed your dumbbells since 🚩If you haven’t changed your dumbbells since pre-pandemic, it’s time to bump things up. 

😍Your bones will thank you. 

🐶Love, Pearl
Your nervous system governs everything, even wheth Your nervous system governs everything, even whether or not your bones get stronger.

Since your nervous system really only cares about differences, changing your body’s capability—building stronger bones—is largely about exposing it to something different than it’s used to regularly.

You gotta give your bones a reason to make themselves stronger by sending your body a different kind of a message.

That message is “this is what we do now.  Prepare yourself.”

For bones, that means higher intensity of joint reaction forces (think tendons pulling on bones to move them at joints) or ground reaction forces (think impact you make against the ground with your feet when you land and how that force is transmitted through your whole skeleton.)

Since impact training carries more risk (for some), lifting heavy things should probably come first.

But since lifting heavy weights is a unique skill (it’s not the same capacity OR skill as lifting moderate weights) then logically you should begin by lifting moderate weights. (Light weights won’t make you stronger or increase your bone density.)

Once you are confident with lifting moderate weights, you should lift heavy ones (with the support of a coach, to help you OR just try it.)

Lifting heavy is not dangerous despite what stupid messaging you’ve heard. Yes you should know the basics, but that’s the case for even the most mundane activities like driving and parenting.

What’s dangerous is being afraid of your body. What’s dangerous is protecting it to the point of fragility.

Also, if you think it’s too late to start lifting weights, you’re wrong.

I’m 42. I’ve been lifting weights for about 6 years. In that span of time (where I’m by no means a spring chicken) I’ve gone from feeling like a squat to depth with just my bodyweight (no external load)  was challenging to 5 reps of 140lb barbell back squats.

I’m not even supposed to be good at back squats given my long torso morphology and yet after 6 years of lifting (3 of consistent lifting) I can now squat my bodyweight 5X in a row.

You are capable of more than you think.

But to find out what you are capable of, you often have to do two things.

Begin.

And keep going.
We couldn’t agree more with Movement Logic co-fo We couldn’t agree more with Movement Logic co-founder @sarahcourtdpt:

🗣️If you only ever give your older clients tiny dumbbells, YOU’RE. NOT. HELPING. THEM.
 
Do I need to spell it out for you? Here it is then:
 
❌Weaker = less strong
 
❌Less strong = more likely to lose balance 
 
❌More likely to lose balance = more likely to fall
 
❌More likely to fall = more likely to fracture
 
❌Afraid of fracture = move less, get weaker
 
❌Weaker = less strong
 
And on it goes.
 
➡️You may need to start them at 5lbs, or 3lbs, but they can, and should, progress to heavier loads. The ones that are black. 
 
They need muscle growth and bone density. You know this. So why aren’t you giving it to them?

In the latest episode of the Movement Logic podcast (out now!), Sarah discusses her experience with cancer treatment, and the guidance (or lack thereof) around how and when to exercise. She covers:

✅The current exercise recommendations for people going through cancer treatment

✅The most recent research around strength training and cancer treatment, specifically chemotherapy

✅What going through chemotherapy is like, and how it can be difficult to figure out what to do when in terms of exercise

✅Her personal experience using strength training during treatment and how it changed everything for the better
