💪 Shoulder pain doesn’t always mean you need to stop training. But how do you know when it’s okay to keep going?

For Sigi’s first Just a Tip, he breaks it down into 4 things to check before your next workout:

1️⃣ Passive Range of Motion - Can you move the shoulder through the motion without actively using the muscles?

2️⃣ Active Range of Motion - Can you perform that same movement under your own control?

3️⃣ Add Resistance - Can you perform it with some load without a significant increase in symptoms?

4️⃣ Test Capacity - Can you repeat the movement consistently without your symptoms getting progressively worse?

Passing each step can give you a better idea of what your shoulder is currently able to tolerate, and where you may need to modify your training.

And THAT was Just a Tip. 😎

If shoulder pain is keeping you from lifting, CrossFit, or doing the activities you love, come see Sigi and the team at PhysioFIT.

👋 MEET SIGI OCKER, DPT, THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE PHYSIOFIT TEAM! 💪🏽 For Sigi, physical therapy and performance have always gone hand in hand.

With 9 years of CrossFit coaching experience, Sigi has spent years helping athletes improve their movement, technique, and performance. Now, as a physical therapist, he gets to take that experience even further.

🏋️ CrossFit & functional fitness athletes

Whether it’s a shoulder limiting your handstand push-ups, mobility affecting your lifts, or pain keeping you from training the way you want, Sigi’s goal isn’t simply to get you out of pain, it’s to help you come back stronger and performing better.

And he practices what he preaches. Sigi is a CF-L2 Trainer and USA Weightlifting Level 1 Coach, and he’s currently preparing to pursue his CrossFit Level 3 certification.

Your rehab shouldn’t be guesswork 📈 At PhysioFIT, we don’t rely on how something looks or feels alone. We measure.

Objective testing helps us establish your baseline, identify strength deficits, and see exactly where work needs to be done.

Then we retest to make sure the plan is actually moving you forward.

Less guessing. More clarity. Better decisions.

That’s the difference between simply going through rehab and knowing your rehab is working.

🏋️‍♂️ OVERHEAD PRESS FEELING OFF? Before adding more weight, take a look at where the bar is actually going.

A common mistake is letting the bar travel around your head instead of keeping the path more vertical. That extra movement can make the lift less efficient and may make it harder to press comfortably overhead.

Zach’s cue to clean it up is pretty simple:

🧦 Imagine there’s a smelly sock right in front of your face.

Pull your chin back to get out of the way → drive the bar up → bring your head through once the bar clears.

A small adjustment can mean a cleaner bar path, less wasted movement, and a stronger overhead position. 💪

And THAT was Just A Tip. 😎

If shoulder pain or mobility is keeping you from lifting the way you want, come see us at PhysioFIT in Bend.

💪 PATIENT SPOTLIGHT: MIKE 🩻 After spinal cord tumor surgery and a stroke, Mike came to PhysioFIT looking for more than a generic exercise program. He wanted to understand what his body needed, rebuild his strength, and make measurable progress.

Working with Zach, that meant assessing where Mike was starting, identifying what needed the most attention, and building a program around him.

And Mike put in the work. 👏

His biggest takeaway?

🗣️ “I felt like the workout was doing exactly what Zach said it would do.”

That’s the goal: physical therapy with a purpose behind every exercise and a plan that progresses with you.

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with an injury, or trying to get back to the things you love, we’re here to help you move forward.

🏌️ Want more power in your golf swing? Start with how you use the ground.

Generating speed isn’t just about swinging harder. Learning to load, shift, and transfer force efficiently can help you create a more powerful and repeatable swing.

Better force transfer can mean:

⛳ More efficient power
💥 Better ball striking
🏌️ More consistent contact
📈 More potential for distance

At PhysioFIT, we don’t just help golfers get out of pain — we help them build the strength, mobility, and movement capacity they need to perform on the course.

🏈 FROM BACK PAIN TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL READY 🏈Connor came to PhysioFIT with two goals: prepare for his first year of college football as a slot receiver and address the back pain that had kept him out of the squat rack for two years.

Instead of guessing, we tested.

Using force plate, VALD, and dynamometer testing, we identified exactly where Connor could improve — including overall force production and a 15% side-to-side asymmetry in eccentric deceleration, an important quality for a receiver who needs to stop, cut, and change direction quickly.

Then we built his training around the data.

By the end of the summer:

📈 Dynamic Strength Index: 0.72 → 0.82
💪 Isometric mid-thigh pull: nearly 13% increase
⚡ Peak power relative to body mass: nearly 12.5% increase
🏋️ Back under a barbell after two years away
🏈 Headed into his first college season stronger, more confident, and ready to compete

This is what performance-based physical therapy can look like: address the pain, identify what’s limiting performance, train it, and measure the results.

Good luck this season, Connor. We can’t wait to see what you do on the field!

🧍‍♂️ Back pain when you bend forward or sit too long? Your back may not need more stretching, it may need the right movement.

This week, Zach breaks down a simple prone press-up / cobra that may help people dealing with flexion-sensitive low back pain by encouraging extension and seeing whether symptoms begin to centralize.

A few controlled reps can be a good place to start, but if the pain keeps hanging around, don’t keep guessing.
