treating shoulder pain

Understanding shoulder pain

Fit to Farm: If we don’t move in ways that keep the joint stable, our bodies will tense up to hold it in place

Posture, breathing patterns and body maintenance all affect your risk of shoulder pain, one of the most common complaints we see in the clinic.



Imagine breathing in via the feet or seat, up the body and down the body, out via the same anchor point.

In the present tense

Fit to Farm: Stretching isn’t necessarily the answer for tight muscles

Tension is a precursor to conditions such as anxiety, pain, sleep issues and many other health complaints — and is an important early symptom to acknowledge and for which to seek support.





Preparing against the worst can set farms up for safety success.

Pelvic rocking (yoga mat optional).

Maintain your pelvic floor function

Fit to Farm: These muscles help keep our posture and vital organs where they belong

An often-overlooked source of common complaints like back pain, hip pain and fatigue lies in the hard-to-access soft tissues of our pelvic floor — the soft tissues within the inner bowl of our pelvic bones.

Fit to Farm: Pain in the hands is a common problem — but don’t write it off as normal

Many hand issues actually originate in the tissues higher up in the arm. To keep our hands functioning well, we need to care for our shoulders and neck too.
