Slouched back and rounded shoulders aren’t just about posture, they are a reflection of how we move, work, train, and live.

And it affects more than just how you look.

🔸Short & tight pecs, subscapularis, and neck muscles.
🔸Long & tense traps, rhomboids, posterior rotator cuff.
🔸Neck pain, back pain, headaches.

Simple rules to follow:
✨Pull more than you push
✨Step away from your computer every hour
✨Stand tall

❌ We do not use the same type of estim current on every patient for every condition.

We have different settings to optimize specific outcomes.

Below are the most common settings we use in the clinic.

🔹Purpose: pain relief, reduce muscle guarding:
🔸Setting: Fast/slow
🔺Frequency: 2/6 hz or 2/8 hz

🔹Purpose: Muscle activation
🔸Setting: burst cycles
🔺Frequency: 2/6 hz, 3/10 hz, or 6/20 hz

🔹Purpose: Fluid dynamics/ muscle recovery
🔸Setting: continuous
🔺Frequency: 2-4hz

⚠️Dry needling is always paired with movement for optimal results.

If you received dry needling without the intended results, this may be part of the problem. Dm “DN” to see how we can use dry needling to help you!

💪 rehab based exercise programming can have a variety of goals: muscle activation, neuromuscular reeducation, movement pattern retraining, or muscle hypertrophy

✨For any goal, the dosage must respect the patient’s irritability - how sensitive or reactive a condition is to movement, load, or activity.

We assess irritability by looking at:

🔺Pain intensity → how severe the pain becomes
🔺Load tolerance → what intensity, duration, or volume of activity aggravates symptoms
🔺Symptom persistence → how long symptoms last after being aggravated

For example:

🔺High irritability = severe pain, symptoms triggered easily with low levels of activity, and pain lingers for hours or days.
🔻Low irritability = milder pain, higher tolerance to activity, and symptoms calm down quickly

✨Understanding irritability helps guide the dosage of exercise prescription and treatment progression

At REVIVE, we don’t just give you a print out of an exercise list and tell you to do 3 sets of 10 for everything. We adjust the dosage as your symptoms improve, your load tolerance increases, and your goals progress.

The right rehab program meets your body where it’s at. If you’re struggling to make progress or feel stuck in a cycle of flare-ups, we’d love to help guide you toward a more individualized approach.

⚠️Precautions we take to avoid puncturing the lung field when dry needling the upper trap

1️⃣ Patient positioning
🔹We like to needle the upper trap with the patient laying on their stomach so the muscle is on slack and more pliable. We place the arms in specific positions or use bolsters to lift the target muscle away from the lung field

2️⃣Needle length
🔹We use 30-40mm needles in this area to reduce the possibility of going too deep into the lung field

3️⃣Angle of insertion
🔹We never insert perpendicular over the lung field. Even if we are superior the lung field, we angle the needle up towards the head

4️⃣ Gripping tissue
🔹We lift and separate the muscle away from the lung field and maintain a tight grip on the motor band we are needling while fanning the needle and during estim.

4️⃣ Hand held estim
🔹We only use the pointer Estim unit while maintaining our tissue grip to ensure the needle doesn’t change direction and puncture the lung field.

Leave any questions about dry needling or the safety of needling over the lung field in the comments below!

‼️Image findings are poor indicators of pain.

A large systematic review (Brinjikji et al., 2015) analyzed spinal imaging from 3,110 Asymptomatic individuals (people with NO PAIN)

The study found:

🔸disc degeneration in: 37% of people age 20, 68% of people age 40, 88% people age 60

🔸disc bulge in: 30% of people age 20, 55% of people age 40, 74% people age 60

🔸disc herniation in 29% of people age 20, 33% of people age 40, 38% people age 60


🚨Your neck pain most likely is NOT coming from whatever abnormality your doc pointed out on an MRI.

⚠️structural findings do matter when there is:
🔸symptomatic nerve root compression
🔸neurolgical defificts
🔸spinal cord compression with myelopathy

✨At Revive, we look beyond your image. We evaluate your symptoms, movement mechanics, lifestyle, and tissue quality to gain a comprehensive understanding of what may be contributing to your pain.

This allows us to create an individualized treatment plan designed to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying cause, so you can achieve lasting relief, not just temporary fixes 🙌

Pelvic Floor Therapy during the third trimester focuses on rib expansion, thoracic mobility, hip mobility, breathing techniques, and pelvic floor relaxation to prepare your body for birth.

Preparing for delivery is more than just learning how to push and breathe. We help you create space, mobility, coordination, and confidence in your body before the baby arrives. 🤍

You deserve to feel supported, informed, and connected to your body as you prepare to bring your baby into the world.

If you’re looking for guidance through pregnancy and birth preparation, we’d be honored to be part of your journey. Tap the link in our bio to get connected with our pelvic floor specialist, Dr. Erika, today.

🤰Pelvic floor therapy during the second trimester of pregnancy focuses on building glute strength, core stability, pressure management, and maintaining overall fitness 💪

Pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy goes far beyond just “strengthening the pelvic floor”

We aim to optimize the entire load-management system so the pelvic floor doesn’t become overloaded AND ensure the entire musculoskeletal system can meet the demands of a growing baby, maintain real life function, and support child birth 🙌

The basics are only “basic” when they’re prescribed poorly.

The obsession with flashy rehab exercises usually comes from ineffective programming, ❌ not because the fundamentals stopped working.

Good rehab doesn’t need to look complicated to create great outcomes.

At our clinic, we don’t chase novelty for the sake of creativity.

We focus on:
• proper dosing
• intentional progression
• quality movement
• consistency

When you understand how to program and prescribe correctly, the basics work exceptionally well.

💥 If you’ve been doing all the “right” exercises without getting results, it may be poor programming. DM us “REHAB” to learn how we approach treatment differently 💥

❌ Stop stretching after a massage and do THIS instead

To effectively increase neck range of motion we have to teach the muscles HOW to use this new range — or else they will go right back to where they are comfortable being short and stiff 👎

After doing manual work (massage, joint mobilizations, dry needling) I do a sequence of muscle retraining techniques
1️⃣ active assisted motion through full range (I move your head but you help me)

2️⃣ end range isometrics (I give you manual resistance at end range and don’t let you move)

3️⃣ full range eccentrics (I give you manual resistance at end range and allow you to slowly move back to starting position)

4️⃣ full range active motion

This gradually teaches the muscles how to contract and relax in the new range.

These exercises are added to patient home program for lasting results.
