Shoulder GIRD GIRD ( Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit) is a pathological condition resulting in the loss of internal rotation motion of the shoulder. It is common in athletes such as baseball pitcher's  and other athletes that perform repetitive overhead activities. It is typically caused by repetitive throwing, resulting in tightness of the posterior capsule and weakness of the rotator cuff muscles. Symptoms may include: vague shoulder pain, shoulder instability, elbow pain, decreased accuracy/velocity/performance, sometimes painless. Can lead to structural damage in the shoulder and elbow if left untreated. PT helps in regaining the loss motion, improving joint mechanics, prevents further or future injury and improves overall performance through various stretching and strengthening exercises. 👉🏾Studies show that 90% of athletes with GIRD will regain the loss of internal rotation range of motion when they consistently follow a prescribed exercise program. #physio #physicaltherapy #injuryatlas #titanpt #betterfasterpt #gird #shoulderpain #elbowpain #baseball #pitching #littleleague #overheadathlete #parabellum #prevention #thinkblue https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxh-2Wng0y8/?igshid=1vvow62qtg1n9

Hip pain

Adequate hip internal rotation is needed during walking and running. If you lack adequate internal rotation the pelvis can’t move as far forward over the stance leg resulting in an ineffective and shortened stride. ➡️ Shortened stride inhibits glut activation and hip extension. ➡️ Inactive glutes increase the strain on the hamstrings and the low back in addition to a multitude of possible compensatory strains placed on the rest of the body. More importantly hip internal rotation is essential to performing the butterfly. If you think you’re not achieving optimal stride length or your butterfly hasn’t reached its full potential, see your local PT for assistance. #stride #hipmobility #monday #internalrotation #mondaymotivation #butterfly #physio #pt1st #betterfasterpt #sprint #uncledrew #summer (at Los Angeles, California)

#serratusanterior ➡️↗️↘️↕️⬅️. The serratus anterior (S_A) is a muscle that originates on the top surface of the upper ribs and inserts on the front border of the of shoulder blade or scapula. The function of the S_A muscle is to allow the forward rotation of the arm and to pull the scapula forward and around the rib cage. This allows the upward rotation of the arm, which allows a person to lift items over their head. The S_A helps stabilize the shoulder blade during motion and is an essential component in maintaining proper scapulohumeral rhythm. #serratus #shoulderpain #shoulder #shoulderblade #impingement #rtc #friday #fridayfitness #titanfit #betterfasterpt #pt #solo #memorialdayweekend (at Los Angeles, California)
