weak grip
Why does my pain keep coming back? :(
WHY, WHY, WHY does my pain keep coming back?
I go to my doctor and get pain medications yet the pain returns. I go to a health care practitioner and feel somewhat better, get a standard protocol for certain exercises, or some other treatment, then my pain returns.
I go to a MELT class (a self massage class using foam rollers and ball) and the pain returns.

Headache
I garden on my hands and knees, weeding for a few hours and get a headache that night AGAIN!
Heel Pain
I have pain in my heel that comes on for no known reason, and get a cortisone shot, and still have pain.
plantarfascia
I have wrist pain and can't fully bend my wrist forward and I have weak grip.
wrist pain
What is the problem?
Probably an old injury or a bad habit of movement. What to do?
To help the headache, strengthen the muscles which lift and support the shoulder blades; that will take strain off the other shoulder blade muscles which connect to the head and cause the headache.
scapular elevation and upward rotation
To help the foot pain, have your physical therapist stretch the heel bone away from the ankle bones to take pressure off the plantar fascia.

Wrist Pain
To help the wrist pain have your physical therapist give you a specific exercise to strengthen bending and twisting your wrist up and in.

5 Tool Sport
UPPER EXTREMITY PLYOMETRICS (wait til the end 😂)
⠀⠀
Plyos are a mainstay exercise for athletes in the mid-to-late stages of rehab for upper or lower extremity injuries (or can also be used for prevention)😏. They begin to prepare the affected structures and tissues to tolerate forces and stress more closely related to sport. For the #thrower 🥎⚾️, we like to use these as a precursor before interval throwing programs.
⠀⠀
There are many ways of accomplishing this, but here we show how to use a rebounder/trampoline to achieve dynamic shoulder plyos.
1️⃣ Chest pass
2️⃣ Diagonals
3️⃣ Overhead chop
4️⃣ 0° IR
5️⃣ 90° IR
6️⃣ 0° ER
⠀⠀
All incorporate a controlled concentric to eccentric phase and have the added bonus of adjusting to an external object. What others do you like??
