The PT Initiative was started by Dr. Adam McCluskey, PT, DPT in 2018 and has grown to reach hundreds of thousands of people across the globe since then. A bit about Dr. Adam:

He later earned a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and opened his own PT and Sports Performance clinic (The PT Initiative) a few years after.

Does your shoulder blade stick out when you do push-ups, feel unstable when lifting overhead, or fatigue faster on one side?

🚨 Where you feel the pain may NOT be the SOURCE of the pain.
-
Just because the front of your shoulder hurts doesn’t always mean there’s an injury there. Many times the source of that pain is somewhere else.
-
The scapula is the source of lots of shoulder issues, and the lower trapezius is a critical muscle for stabilizing and rotating the shoulder blade. Here are 3 great ways to train it.

What you’ve been told about Shoulder Impingement is probably wrong.
-
Most people think that things start compressing and rubbing together in the shoulder, when there should be plenty of space in there.
-
This isn’t actually how it works.
-
It’s always compressed in there and the pain typically has nothing to do with the structure of the shoulder.
-
The video breaks down what is actually happening when you get that pinching pain.
-
I walk you through exactly how to fix this in my Shoulder Blueprint program.
-
Comment “blueprint” and I’ll send the link.
