Are you frustrated with your current progress? Do you know if you have been misdiagnosed? Recently I worked with a 38 year old woman who was experiencing shoulder pain. An orthopedic surgeon took an x-ray and diagnosed her with a rotator cuff tear and was ready to schedule injections and surgery. I treated her twice using trigger point dry needling and shoulder stability training.
She made a 100% recovery in two sessions and does not need surgery or injections. Did you know that it is not possible to diagnose a rotator cuff tear using x-ray alone? Have you tried conservative options such as dry needling, strength training, cupping or myofascial release? Have you found you are going to Physical Therapy to have your therapist watch you do exercises you could be doing at home?
Do you even know why you are doing particular exercises? Recently I worked with a 52 year-old man who was having hip pain and was trying to avoid hip replacement surgery. He had seen another physical therapist. On his 8th visit, his PT came into the room and asked which hip he had replaced again?

The John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Approach (MFR) is a highly specialized and gentle hands-on technique for treating patients with a variety of soft tissue problems including the pain associated with trauma, inflammatory conditions and surgical procedures.
The fascia is the sheath of connective tissue surrounding our muscles.
MFR involves applying sustained pressure to areas of fascial restriction, a problem that often goes undiagnosed and untreated.
This process can reduce pain, increase range of motion, improve immune response, and even be helpful in healing non-physical trauma.

Trigger point dry needling is an effective therapy to treat conditions involving muscle tension and spasm, which commonly accompany arthritis, nerve irritation, muscle/ligament strains, migraines and herniated discs.
The process involves inserting a small filiform (acupuncture needle) into a painful knot - the kind you just can't seem to fix with massage and foam rolling.
It's called "dry" needling because there is no solution injected into the tissues.
The needle itself produces changes in the tissue by decreasing muscle contraction, reducing chemical irritation, and reintroducing hydration and blood flow to damaged tissues.

The purpose of exercise is to keep us healthy and strong - and prevent us from getting hurt in our everyday lives.
