The Shoulder and it's Blade

  • Closed


When you move your arms in any direction you need to make sure they're attached to a reliable foundation.  Stabilizing your shoulder blade to that foundation will help you to move your arms freely.

Stabilize and move freely

If Your Shoulder Rehab Doesn't go Beyond a Basic Rotator Cuff Exercise...

                      ...then You Just Might Have a Chronic Shoulder Problem for Years to Come!  The shoulder is a complex joint that interacts with a number of areas on the body.                                    

Think of your shoulder this way...

The only part of your entire arm, shoulder and shoulder blade that attaches to our skeleton is through our collar bone.  Our arms and all its parts is controlled by muscles.  Muscles that attach to our low back, mid back, neck and rib cage.  If a breakdown in any of these areas happen (muscles or joints) it can cause a cascade of events affecting a number of areas.

What's included in this course...

  1. Learn key education and awareness around your shoulders and arms and how they communicate
  2. Create awareness around the different parts of your shoulder and how they work together yet isolated
  3. Find and free tension and pain from your neck, shoulders, forearms and back
  4. Increase strength, independent and connected movement in your upper body

What others are saying

I had been bounced from doctor to doctor with no real answers as to why I was in so much physical pain and I was frustrated. But after seeing Jamie I felt that for the first time someone saw that I was in real pain and that there was a way I could lessen that pain without pills. My symptoms had been met with such dismissal from most doctors, they cited that it was most likely stress induced, like that was a helpful diagnosis. 

Jamie gave me hope that I could get better, that I wasn't always going to be in pain every day. To say Jamie changed my life would be pretty much bang on. She quite literally gave me back my quality of life, my ability to live my life, to be present for it and to enjoy living it again. That was something I had lost because of the pain. 

The simple exercises she gave me to do allowed me to become aware of my body, what it was doing, and how I was moving it. It was like a lightbulb going off. I could change the way I moved and sat and stood so that I wasn't constantly putting painful strain on my body anymore. I could do that. It took work and time but I'm not living in pain anymore and I didn't have to take pain killers or pills in order to accomplish that.  
Jamie taught me that I need to be an active participant in my own recovery, otherwise there would be no recovery. That was so empowering, that's what's missing from so many doctor patient interactions. The understanding that the patient has to be willing to show up and put the work in and decide they want to get better. Jamie gave me no choice, she inspired me to show up for myself and to change what I was doing so that I could have a pain free life. 

What she does extends far beyond her studio, it applies to everything I do now. How I walk to work, how I sit at my desk, how I work out, how I enjoy the outdoors. Her impact is pretty far reaching and absolutely life long. I'm forever going to be grateful to her.

Week 4 - Finding Your Rhythm

This week is all about creating isolated and independent movement of your shoulder blade on your rib cage.  Not to worry I am putting you in positions that will support the connection to your core and how it connects to your shoulder blade (one less thing to worry about).  Isolation and awareness is key this week and don't forget to take notes and share your discoveries!

Week 5 - Separating your Socket from your blade

This week is all about getting some movement in that SOCKET!!  I have gotten some messages about having struggles with being 'sticky' on one side verses the other, notice if the same side struggles show up this week?

Take a moment to reflect on the awareness you have found in other areas of your body.  Do you tend to struggle with the same side or is it jumping from side to side?  I even encourage you to make a list of what side was more of a struggle in the different areas of the body. 

For example:  
  • Hip - right side
  • Shoulder blade - feft side 
  • etc...
   

You will find a pattern, that pattern is very important to the over all big picture!

Week 6 - Gravity Changes Everything!!

These last few weeks you have been discovering information on your 'sticky' bits, now we are going to check in with those after trying out this weeks work, so have your list close by!

Changing gravity changes everything!  

As we ramp up the work in your shoulder blades and add a little connection of the shoulder socket to the blade, new awakenings are going to open up!   The arms are one of those areas that may like a little more load to help with connection of how you use them. Which is why so many of you preferred the 4 point position.  The extra load can also hide your cheats, so pay extra attention to these next few exercises.  Pace yourself and don't take on all three parts the first day!  Try the first and fourth one out the first few days, then add the second one for a few days and then the third.  Creating strength in one will make a difference in building on the overall strength.

This week we are going to add a little movement to the bits and pieces and really check in with how our core interacts with our shoulders through breath!
Exercise: Learning to Push & Pull with Core Connection
Exercise: Overhead arm movement keeping breath and core connection
BONUS: Core Connection Trick

Week 8 - Movement Class & A Trick for Your Neck

This movement class is all about finding the connection to your core so you can freely move your arms!  Pace yourself with this one - there are many levels to some of the exercises so be sure to stop at the ones that challenge you but you are still able to perform with form!  You will be surprised on how some things become easier and then maybe some things become harder with the awakening of new areas, functions and awareness.

Class: Connecting Shoulder to Core

Week 9 - Re-evaluate, Retest & Rediscover your Awareness

It's that time again!! 


Discover what actually works for you and the impact of your efforts!

You don't know what you don't know! 


Now that you have spent some time discovering and exploring and then a little retraining and awakening its time to notice what happened!

Go in with a clear mind and re-discover your awareness.

Revisit your struggles, did anything change?  Notice what changed from the first time you went through the movement class?  Did you discover anything new? A change in awareness?  Nothing at all?

Remember noticing nothing is still noticing something!
