Working through a scapulothoracic mobilisation technique today.

The shoulder is not just the glenohumeral joint. It functions as a complex interaction between the glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular joint, sternoclavicular joint and the scapular-thoracic articulation.

Restrictions or altered mechanics through any part of this complex can contribute to:

• Shoulder impingement
• Rotator cuff-related pain
• Reduced overhead mobility
• Periscapular tension and stiffness
• Neck and upper thoracic discomfort
• Postural loading patterns

This style of manual therapy aims to improve scapular movement over the thoracic wall, reduce surrounding tissue tension, and support more efficient shoulder mechanics.

As always, hands-on treatment works best alongside appropriate exercise, load management, and addressing any wider contributing factors.

PFPS, (patella femoral pain syndrome) often called “runner’s knee,” is one of the most common sources of knee pain—especially during the summer running boom! It’s frequently seen in runners due to factors like weak hip abductors, tight IT bands, and poor movement mechanics. Women are at slightly higher risk due to a naturally wider pelvis and greater Q angle, which can put extra stress on the kneecap. If you’re noticing pain around or behind your kneecap—especially when running, climbing stairs, or squatting—it might be PFPS. The good news? Manual therapy, targeted rehab, and simple movement tweaks can help get you back to pain-free running. Don’t ignore your knee pain—get it checked out and keep moving strong this summer!
