This week, let's see how mobile your shoulders are: Reach one hand over your shoulder and the other behind your back. How close can you get your hands? Now switch sides. Is one side easier than the other? Mobility affects every part of how your body moves. PT stretches and exercise can help keep you at your full potential! 💪

This month’s ‘Ask the Therapist’ is brought to you by our Farmington Hills owner and director, Derek Brady, PT, DPT, MDNC, TARS.
Answer: There aren’t universal “hard stops,” but we’ll avoid or modify movements that cause stress, especially if they’re painful or risky as you taper opioids. The goal is safe, gradual progression.
Different conditions have specific cautions. We tailor restrictions to your tissue tolerance.
Start with lower loads and progress gradually
Increase reps, load, and intensity in small steps as you tolerate them.
