What are the assessments?
The Shoulder Fix Level 1 assessment is a five-point analysis of shoulder health, upstream and downstream joint flexibility, and stability. We have found these are the KEY components to health shoulders.
To do this you will begin by testing joint function and learning global movement patterns. A global movement pattern is the default way your body performs a task. Bending, twisting, reaching, and balancing are movements we do every day without much thought. An inability to perform these movements CORRECTLY well may be culprit for your shoulder pain.
1. Shoulder Internal Rotation and Control
2. Shoulder External Rotation and Control
3. Thoracic Rotation and Control
4. Neck Rotation and Control
5. Neck Flexion
These movements may be a distant hope and cause pain today but they are baseline measures for your health, longevity, and pain free future.
Customized Plan of Action
The result of each assessment will be scored and recorded so you can track your progress. Additionally, the results will provide you with a personalized action plan designed specifically to meet your movement needs.
If you struggle with flexibility, you will get specific work to increase range of motion. If you have trouble with balance or control, you will receive rotational drills to begin the process of rebuilding that movement pattern. The same applies for each area of limitation.
The Shoulder Fix assessment is the baseline and hallmark of living a pain free life.
What results can I expect?
On average, in eight weeks, participants see a 70-100% reduction in pain depending on their baseline assessment.
By combining cutting edge physical therapy, intelligent strength-building, personalized assessments, and customized movement plans, you can have less shoulder pain today, tomorrow, and forever.
