Your overhead position starts in your MID-BACK, not your shoulders. 🧠

If your thoracic spine can’t extend, your body borrows motion from your low back, neck, and the front of your shoulder — and that’s where the aches show up.

Quick self-check: sit against a wall and reach overhead. If your ribs flare or your back peels off the wall before your hands touch, your thoracic spine needs some love.

Comment “OVERHEAD” for 3 of my favorite exercise exercises to get you started on the path to better overhead health.

Hot takes, hallelujah💪🏼

If you’ve ever been to PT with us, you know we take your recovery seriously…

but we also know movement (and rehab) doesn’t always go perfectly.

Sometimes you skip the cool-down. Or always lol.
Sometimes you “forget” your home exercises.
Sometimes you swear you did them… but your PT has questions. 👀

And honestly? That’s okay. It’s part of the process. It’s part of being human.

Healing, getting stronger, and learning how to move better isn’t about being perfect; it’s about showing up, putting in the work, and laughing a little along the way.

So if you see yourself in these memes… just know we’ve seen it before. 😂
